quality issues with Ender 3 and Duet Wifi

Hi,
Rest assured the Duet is not the problem.
But you configuration may be.
You can post you config files right here.
Are the two prints made with the same material, aside from color?

@fcwilt i know it's not a issue with Duet Wifi.. but i need some help
Yes, all prints are the same PLA with 200 degrees C only other color. My whole config is located on my Github pageMy firmware version is: 2.03 (2019-06-13b2)
Also posting here my config.g

530 steps/mm for your extruder, that isn't the stock extruder. Which one are you using?
Also just set x and y to 80 and z to 400.
Also I believe jerk is too high, start with 480 on x and y. -
@bartolomeus Got a BMG Clone extruder.. when i do a steps calibration 530 it's the numer what it takes to get 100 MM filement out of it. If i ask for 100 MM
The steps for z and y are changed to get a calibration cube of almost 20x20x20
-
@WilcoE If the cube is out of dimension, and e steps are correct, you should calibrate flow. Don't change x,y,z steps.
Your bmg is a clone, is the Duet a clone as well?
-
@bartolomeus ok, changed jerk settings and the y and z steps

No thats a genuine Duet Board.
-
@WilcoE ok, one thing at a time
-
@bartolomeus ok thanks for fast answers, will make some test prints. Need some time for that, it's here already midnight

Did you calibrate the extruder with or without the hotend connected?

With hotend connected. Measured the filament which goes in

Well thats one issue right there. Extruder calibration is to be carried out with no hotend connected. Back pressure, the speed you feed the filament in, any flexibility if its bowden fed etc all affect the number of steps required.
As its a BMG clone, I suggest changing your steps to 415 and sticking with it. -

Where did you read that???
I have never seen or read anything that says the hotend should NOT be connected.
Thanks.

It's the best way to ensure back pressure doesn't affect the calculation. Otherwise you'd have to extrude really slowly which would take forever.
He probably calibrated at 5mm/s and we know the affects that can have on the amount of filament fed in otherwise we couldn't have linear advance

Another thing, looks like you used the wrong thermistor values. Ender 3 uses this setting in Marlin: "100k thermistor - best choice for EPCOS 100k (4.7k pullup)". If you chose this thermistor in the reprapconfigurator you get these values:
M305 P0 T100000 B4092 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
M305 P1 T100000 B4092 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1After changing these values, re-tune your PID for bed & hotend.

You didn't really answer my question.
I checked on a number of different sites and haven't found one (yet) that says to remove the hotend.
All of them said that is was necessary to test calibration under normal operating conditions since those are the conditions that would exist during printing.
Thanks.

@fcwilt My take on it is that in any system which comprises several objects, one should always calibrate each individual object on a stand alone basis. That gives a baseline against which adjustments to the system as a whole can be made to obtain the desired result or effect. So in the case of our extrusion system, we have several objects which come together to make up the whole. What we commonly refer to as the extruder is one object and what we commonly refer to as the hot end is another (so too is the thermistor). The problem with calibrating the extruder and changing the steps per mm to obtain a certain amount of filament movement with the hot end fitted, is that we are then making adjustments to one object within a system in order to obtain a certain result for the system as whole. And we know that things like hot end temperature will affect the viscosity of the filament which will affect the resistance that is imparted on the extruder. As will the speed at which we try to push through the filament and as will the nozzle diameter too. So if one used the steps per for the extruder, at a certain temperature, with certain size nozzle, to calibrate the system as whole, then that calibration will not be accurate for other hot end temperatures, filament speeds, or nozzle sizes. But if we calibrate the steps per mm for the extruder without the hot end, then we eliminate the other variables. If then we find that the system as whole is either over or under extruding, we can simply use the extrusion multiplier or use non-linear extrusion to change the characteristics of the system as whole, to compensate for differences which might be due to nozzle size, temperature, flow rate etc...

@fcwilt My take on it is that in any system...
I see no point in checking the extruder without the hotend. It doesn't matter if the extruder works perfectly on it's on, it has to work with the hotend in place and under actual working conditions.
If calibration should be done without the hotend then all of those sites describing the procedure are wrong and I find that unlikely.
My experience is that the suggested steps/mm value provided by the manufacture has been correct and I have merely verified that the system is working as designed.
