Input shaper causing stutters and blobs on curves RRF3.5.0-rc.1
-
Post the results of M122 after a print has completed to see if you're overwhelming the MCU, but I suspect it's not the case unless you're also running very high steps per mm.
Perhaps share your full config.g

@Phaedrux Here are the M122 after a blobbing/stuttering print. I have temporarily disabled the M593 L command. It reports 3.5.0-rc.1, but I can confirm that I'm now back on 3.4.6. (Edit: I wasn't back on 3.4.6. See posts below)

I've noticed something else which I think is related. (TLDR; This problem also seems to be causing skipping steps due to the violent movement.)
When I ran the blob test last, I started missing steps on X and Y. Which is very weird because I'm using the same acceleration and jerk as I have done for months, and I have just reduced the X carriage from about 1100g to 555g.
Well, I thought I would find a lower M201 and M566 value that doesn't skip. Obviously, none of it really makes any sense, since I've reduced my mass by half.
I didn't want to waste more plastic, so I removed the heat up from the same gcode file and set things moving. Which of course sends constant "Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault" but stills sends all X, Y and Z movement commands.
It never skipped.
It seems that as soon as extrusion is added into the calculations, not only does the print head stop for a fraction of a second repeatedly, but these movements are not staying within the jerk/acceleration limits given.
It seems something is not playing right between my extrusion settings and my X and Y commands.
I didn't have any issues before I moved over to 3.5.0-rc.1. I have flashed back to 3.4.6. Could there be residual parts of 3.5.0-rc.1 left on the firmware?
-
@Threepwood Are you 100% sure you have gone back to 3.4.6? The M122 you posted earler showed 3.5. If M122 shows 3.5 then you are running 3.5.
There is no carry over from "previous" firmware installs, the only thing that will carry over is any changes you made to your config.g files. You seem to be running with a relatively low extruder jerk setting, you may want to try increasing that.
-
@gloomyandy As far as I can tell. Edit: Oh hang on. I just realised, does DWC not come with RRF? I think that's where I've gone wrong.
I tried increasing extruder jerk, but once I went above about 450, I started getting really bad extrusion problems. Huge holes in test prints and overall only extruding about 20% of what I should be getting. No idea what was going on with that. I'm running a Hextrudort and Goliath from VZbot, so I would expect to be able to go higher. Once I get all these problems sorted, I'll try increasing it again.
-
@Threepwood Okay now I'm back on 3.4.6 RRF, not just DWC.
-
@Threepwood None of those are showing the version number of the actual firmware. You need to look in the printer specific section of DWC or just run M122 in the console. Just to be clear DWC is not the same as RRF, they are two different components.
-
Now that I am actually back on 3.4.6. My problems seem to be gone again. Thanks @gloomyandy
Hopefully the next release of 3.5.0 will solve all these issues.
-
@Threepwood I had some issues with jerk settings today. I have increased it to 1800 and I had messed up print (I had some XY movement problems of round object perimeter and have found that it's caused by pressure advance and not high enough jerk), but the movement got even worse. Lowered to 600 and looks good for now. The only thing I am really missing right now is some explanation of correlation between acceleration and jerk settings
-
@Arminas Are you talking about extruder jerk?
I've just run a test with increasing extruder jerk values from 300 to 1400. I'm getting gaps in the print from 600 to 1400, but they don't get any worse between 600 and 1400. There was no clicking or anything from the extruder either.
This makes me think that the issue could be related to the extruder jerk allowing X and Y movement speeds/acc/jerk to increase, which is what is really causing the issues. Although, saying that, I think my acceleration and jerk are quite conservative for my Voron/VZbot setup. I am trying to print this test at 300mm/s though.
I'm not sure how to go about finding a good value for extruder jerk and acceleration. I've read people on here using 3600 extruder jerk.
Should I keep pushing it and listen for when it starts getting too clicky?
-
@Threepwood I change XY and E jerks at the same time, so not really sure what cause this issue, but my issue is related more to the XY movement.
During fast printing (200 mm/s) on rounded parts of the model the XY movement was not correct, instead of smooth circular line, it was wavy. I also noticed that lowered XY jerk leads to better input shaping results.
As for the extruder jerk, I don't really know, I just lower it together with XY and there is no issue so far. I am on RRF 3.4.6. With RRF 3.5.0 I also had blobs, so now I know that it's related to jerk settings (based on your experience), but I am not going to test it now until I find some good info about jerk/accel and speed relation.
I guess I am just trying to say that incorrect jerk settings are causing these strange things with XY and E. And it gets even more complicated with Input Shaping and Pressure Advance activated.
I have also been reading some posts where it was said to keep jerk as low as possible. I will try to do that now.
-
@Threepwood Actually, I have found good info on what exactly jerk is in a normal human language
I will keep it between the standard values 300-600 mm/s -

There is an interaction between extruder jerk and Pressure Advance when extruder Jerk is too low. Remember that for any X Y and E move, both the axes and the extruder moves have to be synchronised, so a low extruder jerk setting will of necessity have to slow down the XY axes to keep them synchronised with the extruder. You can set extruder jerk to a "silly high" number without any adverse effects because it would only apply to extruder only moves and even then, only when there is a change of direction during that move (which never happens for extruder only moves).
-
@deckingman Any idea how to choose the most optimal jerk settings?
This line should be straight... I lowered the jerk and solved it, but now the printer does not reach max speed on curved toolpath.
-
@Arminas Try increasing the extruder jerk but keep X and Y the same. As I said before, you can set extruder jerk to "silly high" numbers - I use 3600mm/min on my machine but 900 for X and Y.
-
@deckingman This issue is related to printing speed or something else?
-
@Arminas Have you tried running ringing tower tests where you change a setting in gcode every 5mm of the print?
At what jerk setting did you find the lines straighten out? Remember that speed, jerk and acceleration can all effect ringing. Which is why I'm currently surrounded my dozens of test prints.
Despite having tuned input shaper and using the same accel and jerk settings as I used for an x carriage that was twice the weight, I'm really struggling to stop the printer from vibrating in curves. The only thing changing in this test print is print speed, from 60mm/s to 400mm/s. It seems like I can't stop the vibration above 100mm/s. Very frustrating when you see people printing with similar hardware at 400mm/s+ with far less ringing than this.
I checked the frequency of the vibration by recording the sound. It seems to be about 103hz. Which mzv @66hz should extend to, but I have a feeling this isn't related to acceleration.
No idea where to go to from here...
-
@Threepwood I had zero ringing at 3k accel, 300 mm/s jerk at 200 mm/s speed, but with such a low jerk for XY, I can not reach 200 mm/s at NOT straight lines. I have some hope that I will be able to solve this
-
I've now reduced acceleration and jerk to half what it was, and the result is exactly the same.
-
@Threepwood It might be worth trying a shaper that spans a large range and change the frequency every 5mm of the print.
If you chose ei3 (which spans about 40Hz) you should be able to change the frequency by 30Hz steps like 30, 60, 90. Hopefully it will give a clue as to what is going on and you would only have to print a 15mm high part.
