@jay_s_uk Yup, that was it. Thanks! It's odd. I can't recall ever changing that but it is possible.

@jay_s_uk OK, that makes sense. I'll give that a try.

@jay_s_uk How would that affect it if it is only affecting X and Y. I have not changed Z jerk settings and this issue just started happening. Here it is anyways.

config.g

Now that i think about it, I've been having some issues with printing height. It prints fine but in the center of the bed, it prints too low and the print peels up. This started happening about the same time as the stutter seemed to start. Could my height map file be corrupted or maybe the SD card?

I've had a problem crop up lately and I'm at a loss to determine what it is. During X and Y moves, the machine randomly stutters briefly then starts moving again. The faster the speed, the more it pauses. Z axis doesn't do this and neither does E. The machine is a 400x400x400 Voron 2.4. It is running DWC 3.4.6. It's not a slicer issue as I've tried it in both Simplify3D and Orcaslicer. The odd thing is that it doesn't do it at all when I command a homeall and the head moves to home X and Y but will have a slight stutter when moving to probe Z (Bltouch)

More bits of data, it doesn't do it at all until I run mesh compensation test.. During these "stutters" there is no perceptible voltage drop and the MCU is running between 36 and 40c. The stepper motors are cool to the touch.

Stalling?

Thoughts?

OK, Got it. I figured it was a "I'm on a Mac" thing. Instead of just downloading the file, I right-click on the download link and did a "save As". It downloaded it with a longer name and that zip file worked fine.

@droftarts
I am running DWC 3.4.6 according to the printer. And, I'm on a Mac if that make a difference.

@droftarts Actually, Mine says:
; Configuration file for Duet 3 Mini 5+ (firmware version 3.3)
; executed by the firmware on start-up
;
; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v3.4.1 on Sat Aug 17 2024 21:55:35 GMT-0700 (Mountain Standard Time)

M115 says 3.4.0

@droftarts Ah. The Duet docs say DWC 3.4 so I assumed I was OK. I was trying to avoid having to upgrade to 3.5.3 to avoid having to ask update my Toolboard and paneldue and, I imagine, there would be changes to the config file too.

I have downloaded the Input Shaping Plugin and left it as a .zip file. The instructions say to do an Upload & Start of the .zip file but when I do, I get "Only a single file can be uploaded & started". This is a Duet Mini 5+. When I check the config file, it shows firmware version 3.3.0 but when I do an M115, it says firmware 3.4.0. Am I doing something wrong here or....?

@Phaedrux Yup. This printer in its previous life was a dual Z setup so I am familiar with that but I will have to wrap my head around setting M671 up for 4 Z axis.

@soare0 OK, looking forward from the back. Kind of what I thought. I wired it front looking back and thought "that can't be correct"

Sorry for this rudimentary question.

In the documentation for configuring 4 driver Z axis, it references rear left, rear right, etc. Is this looking forward from the back of the machine or looking back from the front?

I know it really doesn't make a difference in normal use but for 4 corner leveling using my BLTouch, it definitely needs to be correct.

Thanks

I actually figured out my problem. I have a couple crimping tools I use for RC stuff (servo wires, etc). Nice ratcheting ones. When I would crimp the wire, the wire would break where the insulation was crimped. After looking at it, I found the long legs of the connector itself that are supposed to crimp the wire insulation was curling in on itself and cutting the wire. My remedy was to cut the little legs shorter. No problems now.

@SpeedyDad Engineer PA09 tool works well for me.

Thanks David

Ya know, I read that area and it just didn't communicate to my brain. LOL. Thanks.

OK, sorry for being a noob but how do I "switch" the negative pin on? I've looked through the documentation but must have missed it.

I tried the M950 followed by the M106 but get "Error: Pin 'out5' is not free"

looks like you are attempting to control a fan, if so This documentation should help you

Yes, I know that. That's where I got the info to use M950 and M106 as stated above

then please show the EXACT code you have created from reading that so we can see what you have done.

Pretty much copy/pasted the lines from the connecting a fan page and substituted my fan number and the pin number.

M950 F2 C"out5" Q500 ; create fan 0 on pin out3 and set its frequency
M106 P2 S0 H-1 ; set fan 0 value. Thermostatic control is turned off

What are the tiny connectors (the metal part of the connector) used in the Toolboard and what crimp tool do I need for them? The one I use of the connectors for the Duet mainboard don't seem to work. I have tried two different ones. I'll probably need to buy new connectors to replace the ones I screwed up.

@droftarts said in Duet 3 Mini 5+ Dual Z homing not working:

@SpeedyDad

Both on the "out" pin and GND pin. I had them on the "in" pin first but that made the machine think they were homed before trying.

You can use the ‘out’ pin as an input, but be aware that they are only 3.3V tolerant, ie if you short the endstop to higher voltage (entirely possible), you’ll destroy the main processor on the board! Better to use the ‘in’ pins, which are 30V tolerant. If they were marked as already homed, add a '! to the pin name to invert the logic. Though this means your endstops are NO, not NC.

Oh,, and I'm also getting "Error: bad drive number" noted in console. Related?

Probably because you have commented out the extruder drive in M584, but it still has a drive in the tool definition, M563.

Ian

Ah. Thanks for all that. I'll switch the pins and comment out the extruder.
