    • Temperature fluctuation - Print speed

      Hi! Internet strangers!

      I come to you all asking for help with an issue that has me perplexed. I have a custom built CoreXY machine running on a Duet Wifi running firmware 2.0 with an E3D hot end.
      I am printing with PLA and noticed that my temperature would fluctuate drastically (+/-10 deg.) whenever I print at 100% print speed in the web gui. The temperature will stabilize if I reduce the speed down to <90%

      Here is my current slicer setting

      0_1538587677880_s3d_speed_printer.JPG

      12V 350W PSU
      Heated bed - 200w
      Heater cartridge -30w
      Part cooling fan - 2.76w
      XYZE motors are at 1100ma

      I believe my PSU is enough to supply the power demands? Maybe it's a thermistor issue? But I haven't gotten a faulty heater code.

      Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

      @Danal

      Figured it out! You guys are gonna laugh but I thought I used 16T pulleys but they were 20T so my steps/mm were off (lol), which I guess caused some weird stuff with the G32?

      I updated the steps/mm and ran a G32 S6 and everything without a hitch.

      I do get a weird error about Z datum = 0 which I've never encountered before and after a quick search one thread suggested to add a G30 before the G29 S1, is that common practice?

      Have you gone through this document closely?

      https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer

      The bubbling could be due to some residue on the build plate. GIve it a good cleaning with some Isopropanol.

      Yup. I've read through that document. I've cleaned the bed again, brushed it with a steel wool, cleaned it with acetone and alcohol. Sadly it's the same problem.

      The printer is using the metal corners and linear rails if that's important to know. Does the belt tension have to be fairly close to each other, I think they are but I'm going off feel.

    • Delta - First layer issues

      Hi,

      This is my first time building a delta printer, and I've been having issues laying down an even first layer. The print appears to have some sort of pattern to it. I feel I might have something wrong with my configuration. I've been trying to solve it for a few days without any luck, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • RE: Dual Z - Weird compensation (G32) - Cartesian style printer

      @Veti Thanks for all the help! I got the printer sorted out and did what you've recommended!!

      The motors cables were swapped, and I've edited my config and homing files. Works perfectly now!

      @droftarts said in Dual Z - Weird compensation (G32) - Cartesian style printer:

      Not what I said. I didn't mean that the motor directions are reversed, I mean that if the Z motor connections are swapped, it will apply correction in the wrong direction, which is pretty much exactly the symptom you describe:

      Ah that makes a lot more sense! I'll see when I get home and will post the update.

      You don't need to define the U axis unless you are specifically homing that axis independently of the Z axis. There's no other reason to define it. For example, you home the Z axis (both motors) with an endstop on the Z endstop connection, then home the U axis (i.e. one end of the Z axis) with another endstop connected to the E1 endstop. Or use motor stall to do the same thing. But you're not doing that, so no need to define U.

      I see!

      So it should only be:

      M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 U4 E3 ; Driver 0 = X, Driver 1 = Y, Driver 2 & 4 = Z, U=4 (second Z motor)

      why do you have driver 4 assigned to u and z?

      this should not be required.

      Driver 4 isn't assigned to U and Z, from what I've understand the Z axis is controlled by driver 2 and 4, and that U4 is assigning a letter to the axis?

      @droftarts said in Dual Z - Weird compensation (G32) - Cartesian style printer:

      Are your motors plugged in the right way around? In the example here:
      https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors#Section_Example_for_2_motors
      the motors are defined by M671 in the order they are defined by M574, so the left motor plugs into Z, right into E1. If they’re swapped you get a correction the wrong way.

      Ian

      Yup, the motors goes up and down correctly and are leveled (if I manually level it) before G32.

      @fcwilt said in Dual Z - Weird compensation (G32) - Cartesian style printer:

      Hi,

      After you level the bed manually run two G30 S-1 commands at the same locations that are being probed when executing G32.

      See what values are reported and let us know.

      Frederick

      Will do!

    • Dual Z - Weird compensation (G32) - Cartesian style printer

      Hi,

      I recently commissioned a Cartesian style printer with two Z motors (drive 2 & drive 3) that use a Bltouch to home, but after the probe, the X-axis would not correct the tilt but would worsen it.

      The probe would yield two results back, and the majority of the time, its same number (or extremely close to it), but one would be positive, and the other would be the exact opposite of the first valve. I would manually move the lead screws to level the X-axis, and at the end of the G32 command, the printer would tilt axis.

      I'm not sure if I set up my config file correctly.

      Firmware: 2.03

    • RE: Temperature fluctuation - Print speed

      Thank you! That fixed the issue! I am able to print at full speed without temperature fluctuations!

    • RE: Temperature fluctuation - Print speed

      Here’s what it M307 H1 outputs:

      Heater 1 model: gain 226.1, time constant 124.4, dead time 6.2, max PWM 1.00, calibration voltage 0.0, mode PID, inverted no, frequency default
      Computed PID parameters for setpoint change: P15.8, I0.570, D68.7
      Computed PID parameters for load change: P15.8

    • RE: Temperature fluctuation - Print speed

      I checked the connection, and all the screw terminals are secure. Here is the result of running M122 at the begging of the print and one towards the end.

      Beginning :
      Supply voltage: min 11.2, current 11.5, max 12.2, under voltage events: 0, over voltage events: 0

      End:
      Supply voltage: min 11.2, current 11.9, max 12.3, under voltage events: 0, over voltage events: 0
