Uncalled for pauses during print?
-
Does anyone notice little pauses during printing that don't seem to have an obvious explanation in the slicing?
I first noticed it when printing a part with a relatively large perimeter. The hotend had a start point on each layer where it would pause and that was all perfectly clear in the slicer. Some retraction there too. But then about half way around the perimeter the hotend would pause perceptibly, before carrying on its way. In the final print there was a sort of diagonal raised vertical line corresponding to those moments where it would just hang and ooze.
Anyone notice something similar?
Was wondering if it's perhaps a combination of events - such as a long straight in which the extruder has time to accelerate to full speed (only 40mm/s in my case) combined with plenty of microsteps to generate - that sort of overload the processor with calculations such that it needs to pause and gather itself?
-
I have seen exactly that behaviour with files generated by Cura. It was inserting very short non-extruding gcode segments between extruding segments.
-
Hmm Looking though my S3d .gcode don't see any of that. But the layers of the aforementioned part are quite (surprisingly!) easy to read in the code so will pick up the print tomorrow, count the layers and identify the offending regions precisely.
-
Perhaps it's the point at which it is switching between the external and the internal perimeter? If so, using pressure advance may help.

I am experiencing the same problem. I'm new to duet, I installed mine last Sunday and after setting up everything my first print was the "Yet Another Duet WiFi Mount" for the e3d BigBox.
I was very astonished about how smooth the movements are but in every circular movement there was a significant pause.
This leads to big globs. I am using a volcano hotend with big nozzles and PETG which is a combination in which getting the oozing under control is very hard (I tested pressure control only once, I have not dialed it in yet)Looking at the g-code I think you are right, it is the perimeter switch:
G1 X65.300 Y67.544 E0.0789 G1 X66.573 Y66.203 E0.0797 G1 X67.890 Y64.889 E0.0802 ; inner perimeter G1 X67.491 Y64.474 F6000 G1 X70.170 Y61.999 E0.1572 F1395 G1 X73.037 Y59.606 E0.1610 G1 X73.307 Y59.386 E0.0150This is done by S3D, going from the outer to the inner perimeter using a small non-extruding movement perpendicular to the previous path. Marlin just "thumps" over these bits but it looks like Duet is coming to a near or full stop.
My jerk setting on Marlin was 8mm/s and on Duet 10mm/s. -
I'm on a volcano and PETG as well. What nozzle? I did pressure advance @ 0.1, seems to help a little, but S3d is being painful on it.
(1.2mm nozzle was comically bad- 0.8 works great)My prints tend to just "thump" over it as well. I'll check some individual settings if you want.
-
I tested it with a 0.8 nozzle and pressure advance coefficient of S0.05
Getting the nozzle to stop oozing would require a retraction of at least 3-4mm so preassure advance can't really solve the problem. -
Pressure advance of 0.05 is rather low, You probably need more unless you have a direct (i.e. non-Bowden) extruder.
-
I have a direct-drive Titan extruder. I'll try a higher value.
Does that mean the duet will stop movement when switching from an extruding move to a non-extruding move? -
Yes, because the extruder has to stop completely.
-
First of all, I'll admit I don't know what "pressure advance" is in S3d. Don't find this parameter anywhere?
Not sure this is going to interest anyone but here follows the details. Am puzzled.
The part in question is a casing, a shell. It's nominally 1mm thick and most of it (though some of the sloping areas have gap fill) is just a single perimeter (so two 0.48mm walls) thick.
The printer origin is “bottom left” and the start point for each layer (as fixed in F360) is “top left” on the part.
It’s normal that there’s a “scar” corresponding to the start points but there are some other scars (see various photos) that are not so easily explained.
In particular I’d like to concentrate on the one that is “bottom right” because I remember that, during printing, the extruder would actually come to a STOP at that point (for say half a second) on each layer. The close up photo reveals that this scar has a strange weave structure. In the gcode I can see nothing to “create” it.
Somewhat arbitrarily picked Layer 40 as one for analysis.
The extruder starts “top left”, moves to “top right”, then “bottom right”, then "bottom left”,
then it starts moving back to “bottom right” and then, on it’s way to “top right” we get the pause and the scar.
Have put what I think is the relevant region in bold. There seems nothing odd?
X and Y seem to increase together in a way that is consistent with going around a corner. Don’t see anything to create a weave. And if there were, don’t see anything to justify coming to a standstill and then a PAUSE.
My wild guess was something to do with Microstep overload. But really, have no idea.
Photos include a close up of the scar, photos of start point (top left) corner and corner in question (bottom right), the slicing set to Layer 40, also zoomed on the corner in question (nothing to see, just two perimeters). Sorry not clearer… tricky for imbeciles like me to post in a forum with no image management

Are you printing from SD card or over USB?

Sorry for the long post, trying to answer questions before they are asked. I just switched from Smoothie to Duet Wifi and am having pauses then jumps that ruin a print. The first couple of layers are silky smooth (amazingly so compared to Smoothie and Ramps) then on some arcs it pauses then jumps forward leaving a space without extrusion and then over extrudes at the point it starts extruding again. I am using Firmware Version: 1.17e (2017-02-10). The gcode file is sliced by Slic3r-1.3.0-master-322 and in the areas the jerking happens I do not see any non extrusion moves. Gcode Simulator v1.3 is not showing a jerk in the areas it is happening. There was no jerking in the same gcode file with Smoothie, except I was using 1.8 steppers which I changed for 0.9 at the same time I installed the Duet Wifi and Panel Due. I am using a 24V 17A supply, I am using a 200W bed and the standard E3D V6 heater, same as before. I had the same problem trying to print the finger wrench digit spanner from Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:947423 .

The gcode moves you posted are all non-extruding moves, because there is no E parameter on them. The jerkiness is because they are high-speed moves (F12000 is 200mm/sec) and very short - some are less than 0.04mm long - so you have hit the limit at which the firmware can process moves. Looks like a slicer bug to me.

Me… I was printing from the SD on the Duet after uploading file via web interface.

How stupid of me not to notice that, and thank you for being nice about it. I will drop my travel from 200 to 100 to account for the steppers and mesh the files again less dense. I have another thing going on but will start a thread about it instead of continuing here.
-
A small correction: I should have said "you have hit the limit at which the firmware can process gcodes". It's somewhere between 1000 and 2000 gcodes/sec. There is probably scope to increase it, however it doesn't seem to be a limiting factor during normal printing.

Hello, I have some strange pause also during printing but the speed is not so hight. For me it seem appear arround G92 E0. My slicer is S3D.

On the off-chance, just tried taking the code for "layer 40" from the 3rd March 14:58hrs post above, added some startup code and ran it on the printer (a BigBox).
The layer is printed "in the air" at Z = 6mm, and pause is perceptible when the extruder reaches the 4 o'clock position (as it passes in both directions).
Still have no idea why?

A small correction: I should have said "you have hit the limit at which the firmware can process gcodes". It's somewhere between 1000 and 2000 gcodes/sec. There is probably scope to increase it, however it doesn't seem to be a limiting factor during normal printing.
Found what was going on. The gap fill speed was set to 0 in Slic3r.
