      Hi all, my first post here.

      I've build myself an Hypercube Evolution printer and was getting good results. Now i wanted to try something and orderd the e3d high torque stepper motors with 0.9° as I had 1.8° and was hoping to improve my print results.

      I've change my config accordingly and set up microstepping from 80 to 160. After setting everything up i get this behaviour:

      As you can hopefully see the printer slows down immensly when it prints infill. Outer perimeters print moves are just fine regarding my configured speed (70 mm/s). I can not understand what is happening. I used Simplify3d to generated the GCODE. The preview looks good. Testing GCODE from before the motor changes looks and prints also normal.

      Firmwarename: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
      Firmware Elektronik: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
      Firmware Version: 2.03beta1 (2019-02-03b3)
      WiFi Server Version: 1.21

      Here are is my config.g:

      and the gcode i used:

      Hope you can give me some hints as what to look for!

      thanks!

        Are you saying that files sliced before print fine, but files sliced now have the really weirdly slow infill?

        Have you tested another slicer like slic3r PE?

        Does the behaviour persist if you roll back to firmware version 2.02a?

          There was no need to change your slicer settings when you changed motors. It's best to change only one thing at a time. The fact that files sliced before the change print OK suggest that you accidentally changed something in the slicer, perhaps the speed for printing infill.
