      hello,

      I am writing to seek assistance with an issue I'm encountering while using the Duet2 WiFi.

      I have attached an image that illustrates the dimensional inaccuracies I am observing in the printed parts.

      IMG-20231226-WA0001.jpg

      the 150mm diameter circle displayed in the image demonstrates one instance of this issue, and I am experiencing a similar problem with a square also.

      Any suggestion? @dc42 @Phaedrux

        @R006 I don't think anyone will be able to help without knowing more about your setup. Post your config.g file. What "servo motors" are you using and how do you have them connected to the Duet board?Also is there a reason you are running 3.4beta3 rather than the latest released version?

          config:
          M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3
          M350 X8 Y8 I0
          M350 Z16 E16 I1
          M92 X31.22 Y31.22 Z640.00 E932.00
          M566 X600.00 Y600.00 Z300.00 E600.00
          M203 X12000.00 Y12000.00 Z1800.00 E12000.00
          M201 X1000.00 Y1000.00 Z30.00 E250.00
          M906 X1200 Y1500 Z2200 E800 I30
          M84 S30

          is there a reason you are running 3.4beta3 rather than the latest released version?

          "I've found that 3.4beta3 runs very smoothly on my system without any issues. I prefer to stick with it until I hear positive feedback about the stability and compatibility of the latest released version."

            @R006 You haven't provided any information about the servo motors you are using or about how they drive the head movement (so does the printer use belts, is there any sort of step down in the drive etc). Also is that your full config.g file? How did you determine that the steps per mm is 31.22, that seems like an unusual and relatively low value. How are the servo motors interfaced to the Duet board?

              Please update to 3.4.6 the latest stable release.

                  @R006 If the belts and pulleys are not properly arranged you can see distorted prints. Does the distortion get worse when prints are near corners of the bed plate? Can you post a picture of the XY stage belt arrangement looking down on the machine?
