Is Input Shaper not working or what's causing ringing?

This does indeed look wrong.. I10 looks correct, but then I don't understand why the X axis is smooth and Z have a spike?

gloomyandy

@Reine No idea, what does your printer look like? If you have a typical corXY type setup (with the X axis being a long beam across the printer), then I could imagine that an impulse might make it vibrate back to front and up and down but possibly not so much left to right. But I'm no expert....

@gloomyandy it's pretty much a stock RatRig VCore 3.1 400, with the exception for the Duet stuff and VzBot toolhead.

@gloomyandy I don't know but Input Shaping does not seam to work on my machine.

Video where you can see the test being printed, one axis look good the other crap. Just like all previous attempts.

This time it was configures like this.

;[layer_z]
{if layer_z >=  0}M593 P"none"{endif}
{if layer_z >=  5}M593 P"none"{endif}
{if layer_z >= 10}M593 P"mzv" F47 S0.0{endif}

@Reine I really have no idea, looking at your earlier picture you can clearly see differences between no IS and IS being on, so I'm pretty sure it is being applied. If it is not fixing the problem perhaps the artefacts you are seeing are not simple ringing, or something that IS can help to fix? Looking at this picture: https://forum.duet3d.com/assets/uploads/files/1691931423561-737eadf4-d989-4a5a-ad74-12fcef7cefa7_1_201_a.jpeg it almost seems as if the frequency of the artefact changes as you change input shaper, maybe the IS is only dealing with some of the problem?

Not sure I can help much more, here are a few random thoughts...

Looking at your printer there is a lot going on during a print. In particular you have the filament feed and what I assume is the air feed bouncing around a fair bit, plus various wires etc. which are free to move. Every one of those is able to vibrate in some way or other and may be transmitting that energy back into the print head.

Maybe the "ringing" is in effect small movements back and forth along the Y axis (which results in those artefacts which can be seen along the "front" of your prints). Your print head is quite long in the Z axis both rising above and below the linear bearing. I wonder if something is causing very small rotations of the print head around the Y axis? It may be that the bearing/mount is less able to resist motion in that direction (we are talking very small amounts), because it is narrower in that axis compared to the other one? Perhaps all of this is combining to create what you are seeing?

I'd be tempted to try disconnecting the air hose or supporting it by hand during a print to see if that changes anything and maybe the same with the filament feed.

Sorry can't be of much more help, good luck!

@Reine with stock vcore 3.1 400, I have only managed to eliminate the ringing with low acceleration (1000 mm/s2) and low jerk (5 mm/s), and with speed up to 100 mm/s. I don't know if IS is not working as good as klipper's, but I also have quite heavy printhead. I probably could have achieved more accel in X axis, but I just kept my maximum acceleration that has no ringing in Y axis, for both X and Y.

Arminas

@Reine Also, I don't really know what is the best way to measure belt tension, because all apps show kind of different results. I have stayed with Gates belt app, it shows most consistency measuring the same belt 4-5 times. I would be very happy if I could compare both belts tension with IS plugin, but I haven't figured out how to perform a diagonal movement with each motor.

oliof

@Arminas you could do G0 H2 X... and G0 H2 Y.... moves, since H2 indicates a motor only move which will give you a diagonal motion on CoreXY.

Arminas

@oliof okay, and how to read the accelerometer data during that move?

oliof

@Arminas You run M956 Pnn A1 S200 before the move. https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m956-collect-accelerometer-data-and-write-to-file

Arminas

@oliof it will be displayed via DWC input shaper plugin?

oliof

@Arminas the input shaper plugin reads the generated files, so: Yes, if you choose the right file (see the link I provided to figure out the file name, or how to set a unique one).

Arminas

@oliof Thank you. Maybe you know why I can not complete the measurement? I can perform a movement but nothing happens next

oliof

@Arminas first step would be to check whether the file was generated or not.

Arminas

@oliof already found the issue. It works well with DWC 3.5 version. (mine was 3.4.6).

Although, I think I have another problem, but as I understand it should be solved.. Looks like Input shaper is not applied for Y axis, which is connected to duex expansion board. Is it possible that IS only works with mainboard?

oliof

@Arminas I am not aware of any limitations with the Duex5, that's a question for @dc42

jay_s_uk

@Arminas theres no limitation regarding duex as its basically part of the mainboard
