Z Homing position different by zero
-
M205 and M556 set the same thing - just using different units.
I've never found a reason to use M204.
For starters you can try the default values for everything but M92 and M906.
Just comment out M201, M203, M204, M205 and M556 and re-boot.
If you wish to see the defaults just enter those commands with no parameters at the DWC console.
What material are you printing?
Do you have part cooling fan(s)?

The only reason is to have faster travels than print moves.

Given the numerous settings in slicers for speeds, etc in practice is M204 truly useful?

@fcwilt Given it's vintage it was a good option at the time. Some people also don't want to bake settings like that into gcode files since it's not adjustable after the fact.

Goodmorning everyone
I had entered the codes M566, M203 and M201 in the config.g file to find the speed "limits" of the X and Y axes.
Now the 3 instructions in the file have been commented out.
From the Console I get this:Custom M566 ;M566 X4000.00 Y4000.00 Z300.00 E1500.00 ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min) Original M566 Maximum jerk rates (mm/min): X: 900.0, Y: 900.0, Z: 12.0, E: 120.0, jerk policy: 0 Custom M203 ;M203 X20000.00 Y20000.00 Z1000.00 E5000.00 ; set maximum speeds (mm/min) M203 Max speeds (mm/min): X: 6000.0, Y: 6000.0, Z: 300.0, E: 1200.0, min. speed 30.00 Custom M201 ;M201 X5000.00 Y5000.00 Z100.00 E4000.00 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2) M201 Accelerations (mm/sec^2): X: 500.0, Y: 500.0, Z: 20.0, E: 250.0I'll do some printing tests with the default values and let you know.

The settings of M566, M203 and M201 are the default ones.
Surely I have to fix the slicer settings (Cura 4.8).

That is not good.
Do you have a part cooling fan or fans?
And what material are you printing?
The first thing I would work with is your extrusion settings.

With the old electronics the print quality was much better, even if the speed did not exceed 33 mm / s.
Do you have a part cooling fan or fans?
Yes, I have a layers fan but I fear that the flow from the duct does not come out perfectly. I'll have to improve it. But I need suggestions.
And what material are you printing?
PLA, 180/185°C
The first thing I would work with is your extrusion settings.
I started from a print speed of 60mm / sec and am adjusting the speed of the outer walls, decreasing it by 5mm / sec each print.
I would like to avoid printing at too low a speed. But if I can't solve it, I'll start with the 30mm / sec of the old electronics.

Can you post your whole config? Have you set the correct thermistor?

Have you set the correct thermistor?
Honestly, I have no idea. I used the values of the old electronics.

@bernardomattiucci
are you using stock thermistors? if so, what printer is it? -

but i have no idea what it is (make / model). They gave me 3 supplied with the MK8 extruder.

Consider that, at the moment, I have no way to control the temperature of the hob. I have an electric "stove" lit under it which keeps the aluminum surface (and the glass surface) hot enough to be able to print (ambient temperature below 20 ° C).
-
Zero layer of a test cube of 50x50x50 mm.
There are essentially 2 problems ....- Brim is not accurate. Perhaps it is due to poor adherence to the plan.
- the filling is not precise and does not overlap the wall.
Maybe I need to change something in the settings. But what?
-
In addition to modifying the speed of the walls again, with this larger test, the result looks better (apart from Layer 0). Perhaps, and this is my suspicion, the airflow of the layers fan is not suitable for small objects. If this is the case, I will have to redo the duct providing a vertical flow all around the hotend. So a more distributed flow than this, which remains concentrated in one corner.
At Layer 24 I paused the print to take a photo from above. In resuming the print you notice the slight error, especially on the left corner of the previous photo.
Layer 136:
You see various errors / problems along the edges. They are almost certainly due to a non-optimal Jerk setting. Tomorrow I will try to improve!
Anyway ... congratulations to everyone because this electronics are phenomenal!

And with these 5 photos I close the discussion.
Thank you all
