      Hi,

      So I've set cura to absolute (as using 2.4.0) in the slicer settings and also in config.g It does seem to have slowed it down a bit but it's still running fast causing skipping as the extruder can't keep up.

      Look at this video I took

      https://youtu.be/QuaWX6vPlsQ

      any idea why this is happening, it seems to be running to quick. could it be hardware, or do you think software. Here's my slicer staat code and then my config.g

      G21 ;metric values
      G90 ;absolute positioning
      M107 ;start with the fan off
      G28 ;move to endstops
      M82
      G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
      G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
      G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
      G1 F{travel_speed}
      ;Put printing message on LCD screen
      M117 Printing...

      here's my config.g

      ; General preferences
      G90 ; Send absolute coordinates...
      M82 ; ...but absolute extruder moves

      ;*** The homed height is deliberately set too high in the following - you will adjust it during calibration.
      M665 R136 L288.15 B120 H217 ; Set delta radius, diagonal rod length, printable radius and homed height
      M666 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Put your endstop adjustments here, or let auto calibration find them

      ; Network
      M550 PMy printer ; Set machine name

      G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z-0.211 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
      M557 R120 S20 ; Define mesh grid

      ; Heaters

      M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on

      M501
      ; Automatic saving after power loss is not enabled

      ; Custom settings are not configured

      Please help, I'm losing my patience 🙂

        663

        Where did you get your steps/mm value for the extruder from? If you got it from another firmware then was that firmware using the same microstepping?

        A Google search for anycubic linear configuration returns the following page:

        https://github.com/SpainLabs/Anycubic-kossel-3d-printer/blob/master/Configuration.h

        which has the following line:

        #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 80, 80, 80, 96 }

        I'm not suggesting you just blindly copy this figure but there is a massive variation. That extruder looks to be ungeared which, again, is suggestive of a low steps/mm figure being correct. The documentation has a section on ungeared extruders here:

        https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_an_extruder_drive#Section_Un_geared_extruders

        which suggests values of around 100.

        Hope this helps.

          ah ok, this is interesting

          so this lin here:

          M92 X80 Y80 Z80 E663 ; Set steps per mm

          am i right in thinking my extruder is set to 663 steps per mm?

          it should be more like 96?

          thanks for your help

            That's right. Apologies, I had intended to copy and paste the whole line, not just the number!

            You should get somewhere in the right region with 96. I'd still recommend you fine-tune the extruder after doing that though. There are loads of tutorials on how to do that, including Thomas Sanladerer's here:

            https://toms3d.org/2014/04/06/3d-printing-guides-calibrating-your-extruder/

            On the Duet, you can send an M92 command while the printer is running. e.g.

            M92 E96

            and you can see the results straight away. Use a guide like Tom's to get the figure as accurate as possible, then modify your config.g with the new value.
