Anycubic Delta (Trigorilla vs Duet Wifi) Wiring and configuration
-
Sorry I missed this thread until now. I just upgraded my Anycubic Kossel to Duet electronics a few weeks ago. I also moved to the smart effector/magball/E3D hotend–sounds like you're still using the Anycubic effector? If so, I really recommend replacing the 40mm radial part cooling fan with a 50x15mm radial. Adapters are on thingiverse.
Stepper wire pairs are colored just as dc42 describes. red/blue and green/black.
The 20A power supply Anycubic provided with my kit was insufficient, and I had to move to a 30A meanwell. Seems you're set there.
With the higher print speed that the duet allows, the Anycubic extruder is not strong enough, I find. Trying out different variations on geared extruders, Much improvement, but haven't found a solution I'm entirely happy with.

Hi. I did the same.
Changed from Trigorilla to Duet Wifi one week ago.Actually i am struggling to get the right settings.
Can you post your configuration for acceleration, speed change…The HW connection was not a problem...

Thanks Gone2Far do you have some links for smart effector/magball/E3D hotend and whatever else you have come up with? My extruder motor type is the same as the XYZ steppers. I was thinking the extruder was a little over sized on the motor. Although they did package different stuff as the years went by on this anycubic so you might have had a different one on your extruder?
Yeah I feel the same ROT I'd like to know more about the motor settings too. So far I know mine is 1.8 degree and it's a 1500ma motor but I am not sure about microstepping settings. I see that 256 is really quiet but x8 256 interpolated is noisier for example. Looks like you can choose calculate steps per mm if you know your microstepping then you need to know your belt type, tooth pitch and pully teeth count. Mine is set at GT2 2mm belt, 2mm pitch and pully is 20 tooth. I think thats right for this delta. Microstepping, Max. instantaneous speed change, Maximum speed, and Acceleration I need to know.
What I am focused on at the moment is when I do the manual calibration and the screen pops up on the web interface to jog down. It doesn't jog down but sideways. It homes ok, and when I hit the buttons to move the thing around on normal control screen it does what I want it to. The menu from auto calibration is asking me about x jogging down rather than Z. So I have no idea the only other thing I can think of is my towers are in a different order in the software vs the actual. Mine are XYZ going counter clock wise. What do you guys got yours doing?
-
I suggest x16 microstepping with interpolation which is the default. The interpolation to x256 only works if you select x16 microstepping. Your steps/mm with that motor, belt and pulley with then be 80. For speed I suggest 12000 and for acceleration 3000. For jerk, try 600.
If the head is jogging sideways, that could mean that the version of Duet Web Control you are using is too old for the main firmware version. Try firmware 1.19.2 and Duet Web Control 1.19 or 1.19.3.
-
dc42 by jerk do you mean Max. instantaneous speed change? Would the extruder have the same settings? I have the same motor for it as the tower motors.
Thanks BTW!!!!!
-
Looks like upgrading firmware to 1.19.2 did the trick. I thought I was upgrading web interface too but it says 1.19 still. So maybe 1.19.3 web interface is part of your beta or alpha? Anyway thanks this is moving me right along
-
My steppers are the same for XYZ, and slightly longer for extruder. I think they're rated 1.5/1.7A respectively. I have 1000ma/1200ma set in config.g. Order is also counter-clockwise, X to the left of "front", Y right and Z back. Using the default x16 interpolated and it works great.
The smart effector is one of the main reasons I switched to Duet electronics. The built-in probe works well. In combo with the Duet WiFi, bed leveling issues are a thing of the past. With the 40mm axial fan dc42 suggests, part cooling is marginal for PLA. Dc42, you must print in ABS a lot, I think.
I tried first a Noctua and then a high-CFM 40mm fan; now I've got an adapter and a 50x15 radial fan sticking out the front, but that (hopefully) isn't permanent. Link to the smart effector is on the products page of this website (Duet3D). I bought mine from Filastruder here in the US. Magballs and 288mm arms I got from Ultibots. 288mm is a bit long, but works well. Original arms for the linear plus were 265mm. It's nice to be able to pop the effector loose to clean up the hotend as needed and then just snap it back on. Much less play than the stock arms as well. -
Yeah this thing has trouble with ABS. Gone2Far You say the smart effector comes with a probe? Can I see a picture of it being used on yours. Looks like that smart effector would change the distance of the rod spacing vs the top of rod connected to tower. I'll check into that at some point. Even the bed I got can't seem to hack 90 degrees very well. its 12v. What is your extruder setting? I had asked above about it being the same as towers. I felt like it didn't sound right. Maybe there is a percentage to go by on extruders vs towers?
After I auto calibrate it will not save it and everytime I turn this on I have to recalibrate. How do I get it to save auto calibration?
-
OK Important things I need help with. I haven't had a successful print yet.
- How to save calibration. Because I try to make a change an after waiting for heaters to cool down and re-calibrate. So this would save me time. I mean it's cool if you have a probe to wait each time. Seems like i could calibrate it once a day or so, but making the changes it should remember.
New Problem real important.
- How to keep extruder from pushing out too much on infill or not enough on outer part. So hard for me to explain. I am making a box as a test if it prints out the outer bounds of the box just right, it stops for a second before filling the box. Creates a huge blob and gets caught in blob and cant move when it tries. If I pause print clean up and resume it clearly is pushing out the plastic to fast. However I have my extruder speed set at 10mm where as remember it's the same motor type thats used on the towers and they are set at 80mm. So as you can tell they are really going slow and I have no idea how to adjust this.
-
See the wiki page on calibrating a delta printer for how to save the calibration results.
Have you calibrated the extruder steps per mm ?
Are you printing from SD card, or over USB?
-
Yeah steps per min is at 80mm
Printing from USB a file that worked before on the trigorilla board and this same equipment. I uploaded it to print from the web interface. Also I am using ABS. I'm about to change to PLA and see if that will print better, but it should be able to handle ABS.
It's printing really slow too.A lot slower than I am used to. Before on the old board it always "seemed" like trigorilla overrode the speed parameter from the gcode model file. I wonder if your board is actually using it. It was always set to like 30mm a second. I am not sure though about why it would be so slow.. And again really stumped as to why the extruder would be blobbing it out like that. You know I tried to lower to extruder factor and temperature to try and slow it down and it really doesn't do what it should.
Here is the best ABS print so far and it was supposed to be a box lol I stopped it before it finished and also had paused it to clear up the blob so that is why it's in that shape. Look at the way it's printing the plastic next to itself. That is with some odd adjustments to try and get it to be better. Before it was really really weird.

No, you need to calibrate the extruder steps/mm, unlike the towers that can just be set to the theoretical value. There are guides on the internet that tell you how to do this. If you can still connect to your old electronics via USB then you may be able to find out what you were using before by sending M503 to it.

So I just need to look in my config.g and alike files to change values to those perhaps that will work.\
Thanks dc42 got the auto configuration to save. I can't seem to find M205 anywhere in config.g
-
Ok I changed a lot and the printer actually acted exactly the same. No change in speed of anything?
Just to show you the differences in plastic. I printed a ring and PLA in on the left and ABS is on the right. So that didn't change anything either.

Ok I set the speed at 12000 and its super charged, but soon as it goes to print it's back to the same slower speed. I am not sure if it's the board or the gcode file. However I looked around in the gcode file though and I see speeds of F7800 and that should be fast enough, so it can't be that…. but the printing is more like it's going F500 or slower. but mean while the extruder is going the right speed I think hence the puddle. I mean the printer works really well moving all of the motors doing everything until I go to print.. The "Speed Factor" in print options isn't effecting the print speed when I move it.
I've been searching for the answer on the internet to see if it was something normal, but those people in links didn't get anywhere I'm still searching for the answer.

I started with similar values for the Stepper current.
But for me, with the original Anycubic Stepper Motors it was to much.I changed the values to 850mA for thy xyz Stepper Motors because they where getting hot.
Now they are getting warm, but not hot.Stefan

Gone2Far, OK great I will see if those specs will fix it. Maybe the rated current for instance. Hey I like your bed holder and your lcd cover. Is your LCD a 5 inch or bigger? I have the linear too. I checked at Filastruder since it's closer for shipment I think and for price on smart effector and those rods $144.98 USD. I didn't realize they connected by magnets. Very interesting.
Meanwhile I thought everyone should see my printer trying to print out a fidget spinner which well eh you'll see just like all my other test it just gives up and blobs….
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4nxVsZnC01PZ0YtelhadDU5Z28Ok I applied your driver settings, your general settings and for fun your custom settings and it did a little better, but heres the video for that!! Yeah fun sounds and yeah I forgot to change extruder speed like you said…

I have matched my old settings for motors from the old electronics here is my config file M203 and M566 had to be changed from ss to mins on the math. I used 1000 for M906 like Gone2Far Suggested. I can tell you honestly at this point my XYZ motors are running fast like their supposed to. My extruder is going too fast and it's going so fast the gear chews through the filiment. And watching it it's just spinning around way to fast. Is it your firmware version? Things I can tell you is. If I limit my speed on the extruder as to try and not have it going that fast some how it slows the XYZ motors down?????? Not sure what your firmware is doing. I have no idea what to do. I have now got my PanelDue installed and I ran some test prints from it's interface using both a file on DuetWifi's micro SD card and also another file from a SD card plugged into the panelDue. The result is the same. Sorry am looking around a lot and I am not able to solve this. Also with the PanelDue extruder options I have verified that 96 steps per mm on extruder stepper drive is correctly grabbing the correct amount of filament. So this all comes down to how the DuetWifi Firmware controls the extruder when printing.
Only other thing I can try if it's not your firmware is do you have a gcode file I can try that you know works correctly with 1.19.2 (2017-09-01) Firmware?
EDIT: I ADDED THIS: What does it mean when I move up those values below for speed on the drivers in config file and put the speed factor on 500 percent and the speed for printing doesn't change? To test this I have it do a print without the extruder having filiment and I run the heater E0 and bed off. What I am saying is the movements for XYZ really aren't fast like I was saying above I was just fooled into thinking it was faster than it is. What is causing it to not listen to all of the speed changes while printing. What is making the extruder run too fast and not in sync with the XYZ towers. What can I do. Getting this printer to run correctly is very important to us since we need a 3d printer for the collage class we are teaching in a few days…. The more it runs a print the slower and slower it gets? If I hit home or calibrate it seems to run at the speeds I set it at in config.g! Also it's kind of early to tell but I am also seeing that it isn't advancing up while printing a new layer. Do I have a bad board?

From looking at your video, it really looks like the calibration of Z is off, and the nozzle is scraping hard against the bed, causing the steppers to whine and slip the belts.
I think I would start by typing commands into the gcode console to test mechanical action before trying to print more.
First home with a G28 command. Try doing G1Z10, and make sure it looks like there's a centimeter between the nozzle and bed. Can you do G1X20Y20 and have the head move diagonally? Does G1x0y0 move back to center? Is it quiet moving while away from the bed?
If all that doesn't work great, printing is gonna fail too. If that's all working, recalibrate the Z height.
