Weak x and y axis for no identifiable reason
-
Hello all,
I use the MB 6HC in conjunction with a 1LC Toolboard V1.2 and RRF.
RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC version 3.4.3 (2022-10-05 09:06:36) running on Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 (standalone mode)By the way, this is my first message in this forum... I hope I have placed my message in the right place.
The printer has never been in use before, I rebuilt it and just finished.
The very first short test print looked good, everything worked. But one hour later I have the problem that when I want to print a simple GCode file the x and y axis get "weak" (can move the motors by hand, still they get power). Z axis is strong as ever and runs great. I have not changed anything in the config that could cause this effect.
Mechanically everything is fine.
It is also interesting that when I manually move the printer via the web interface, everything works fine (unrestricted, no matter how long I move). The x and y motors then have full power.
x and y only become weak when I want to print a gcode file. The same gcode file on another printer makes no problems and no matter which slicer I use... always the same result.
In the config file everything is defined, in the manual operation via the web interface everything is great, only not with GCodes...
I checked the config file, the gcode, the mechanical components and coudnt find something...I am terribly frustrated and can't find the error.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot

@Malarius can you post your config file, your homing files, start.g if you use it and the start code of your sliced file
-
No problem, here are the files. Some of the files still look a bit messed up. I'm still setting up and will clean up the files later when everything is working. I am a beginner in the RRF environment.
In the file "GCode_Files_Start_Code.txt" I have summarized the first lines of two tested files. I used two different programs for slicing with the Cura engine.
I do not use actual an start.g file.config.g homez.g homeall.g homex.g homey.g GCode_Files_Start_Code.txt

@Malarius nothing jumps out at me in those files.
if you reset the machine and print does it print fine? its just when you come to print another file?
can you also post your end gcode from your slicer? -
@jay_s_uk
By reset, do you mean, for example, a restart (power off and then on again), or is there a function to reset the printer properly again?No matter which file I slice from which slicer program with which engine, always the same problem.
The error must be somewhere in the software on the board.I tested yesterday and turned off the printer in the evening, today nothing has changed in the problem...

@Malarius I meant a power cycle.
Can you grab an output of M122 and M122 B121 -
I have restarted and unplugged the printer several times.

@jay_s_uk I don't know exactly why, but the problem seems to be solved for now. I have updated the firmware again and replaced all files. I looked through the config.g and config.json again, but could not find any error.
I will write directly as soon as the problem appears again.Already many thanks for the help so far

@Malarius thanks for updating us. I'll mark this as solved but feel free to revert that if the problem occurs again.
