      I was not expecting being able to move this fast. DC42, can you shed some light on this? you commented somewhere (and I wrote it down) that the Duet could process 200k steps/sec. It appears I'm way beyond that. Programmed for diagonal moves at 100 mm/s then set to 300% speed factor in DWC. The axis designated as X is the one driving the 10mm lead ball screw with a .9 deg stepper set to 16x interpolated = 640 steps/mm and so is the Y motor next to it. The extruder is running (not in video) and is set at 641 steps/mm. Is this a function of the interpolated microstepping? its super quite and motors stabilize at 50c (case temp) after running it for an hour like this. 1.2kg of ballast on the truck.

        Last time I measured the maximum step rate it was 360KHz with just one motor running and 180kHz to each of 3 motors concurrently. With 2 motors running it will be somewhere in between.

          That's awesome David. I'm seeing 18-1900 rpm for the steppers. Never woulda thunk. That leaves me a lot of headroom to do what I want. I'd kiss ya if you weren't thousands of miles away lol

            There is a comparison of the achievable step rates and travel speeds supported by various electronics/firmware combinations at http://reprap.org/wiki/Step_rates.
