3.4.0 b3 leaning prints

dc42

@adrian52 the theory I am working on would make it sensitive to the start and end points of the move, the acceleration, the requested top speed, and the input shaping. A cube with infill has a variety of moves with different start and end points, so would make leaning more likely. A hollow cube does the same XY moves over and over again, so you would be less likely to hit a problematic move, but you might hit one if you shift the cube.

Unfortunately, the rod length, delta radius and steps/mm are also likely to affect whether a move is problematic or not.

If you have a simple print that reproduces the problem readily, it would be helpful to me if you can test which of the following changes makes the problem occur or go away:

Changing acceleration
Changing requested speed
If you are using input shaping, turn it off or change the frequency.

@adrian52 ok thanks. I will try and do the same. are your test cubes hollow or with infil? are you using input shaping?

Adrian52

@t3p3tony I used 10% gyroid infill, and ei3 input shaping

jay_s_uk

@dc42 I have some more to add to the theory

Both cubes are printed with 3.4b3.
The right hollow cube is printed in vase mode.
The left hollow cube was printed as a single wall. This one had a z hop setting of 1mm
I am currently printing the same gcode with no z hop and it is not exhibiting the same leaning in Y.
here is my config

I should add that I am using no form of input shaping but I am using PA

dc42

@jay_s_uk that's interesting! Is the Z hop configured using M207 and firmware retraction, or in the slicer?

jay_s_uk

@dc42 using M207.
The gcode files are the same.
I changed it to 0 using M207 from the console and checked it to ensure it had changed

dc42

@jay_s_uk thanks. Please share the GCode, and I will try it on my delta with Z hop this afternoon.

jay_s_uk

@dc42 cube.gcode

Adrian52

@t3p3tony have now tried the two cubes without infill, without input shaping, with z hop=0, and with pa=0, and the slope in the - y direction is the same.

jay_s_uk

@adrian52 so its not z hop.
that just adds to the complexity then

CabalSoul

Here is my config and the example gcode. All my prints were printed in vase mode, no Z hop configured for PETG.

T3P3Tony

@cabalsoul thanks. so I have managed to get a lean on "simpler" boxes printed as @Adrian52 suggested, offset in the +/- Y direction. (using gyroid infil and el3 input shaping)

Has anyone observed sloping in any direction other than -Y ?

CabalSoul

@t3p3tony In my case always -Y.
If i rotate the object it doesn't change anything.

jay_s_uk

@t3p3tony in my case it is also always in -y and happens regardless of position on the build plate

Fred-Y

@t3p3tony It seems that I got one of my prints leaning on both -X and +Y

On this picture it is leaning on the left and also back.

I spent quite some time today trying to reproduce the issue on simple objects like basic cubes, calibration cubes, ringing test with and without infill (rectilinear, gyroid...) but all seems fine.
I guess I changed something on SuperSclicer ... I even checked I was still on the beta3.

T3P3Tony

@fred-y thanks for spending the time in testing this - it helps!

I will test to see if I can get a lean with the two box prints arranged in different orientations then looking for anything on +/-X

Adrian52

With a 20mm cube and a 20x20x10high cube offset in the y direction printed together, the 20mm cube (on the right) looks like this
undefined
The left cube for comparison printed with no y offset. You can see that the lean reduces after 10mm, but interestingly a smaller lean is still seen. Havent tried a 45deg rotated cube yet.

dc42

Thanks to everyone who has helped us to try to track this down. @chrishamm has managed to reduce one of your leaning prints to a pair of 2 moves that leaves one of the carriages 2 microsteps away from the correct position. I expect to be able to track down the problem now.

dc42

@Adrian52 @CabalSoul @DaveA @Fred-Y @jay_s_uk @SIam I have put new firmware builds with a fix for the issue I was eventually able to reproduce at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kgah0ylh2zu2f7w/AAD2vQOiTQrFly1p22sob6c7a?dl=0. As with all unofficial builds, use them with care.

CabalSoul

@dc42 thank you exactly what I needed. I am going to test right away.

I've tested it and it seems to work. Thanks again.
