(mis)adventures in Input Shaping

KP0005

@oliof
RRF 3.5 RC3+ (last week, DC42's hotfix of the network issues from here https://forum.duet3d.com/post/332835)

I have tried MZV at both 40 and 50 Hz in RRF to basically no improvement over no shaping.

I haven't encountered layer shifting or blobbing in RRF, but some of the shapers caused sharp corners to print much worse. No such issue with Klipper.

two more questions: Safe to assume that apart from start/end gcode this was the same model(s)? Would you be willing to share a sliced file so people can try to recreate?

Sliced for Duet: ringing_tower_0.4n_0.2mm_PLA_MK3.9_9m.gcode
Sliced for Klipper: ringing_tower_0.4n_0.2mm_PLA_MK3.9_7m.gcode

(I am trying to tune the printer to use Prusa MK3.9 profiles, since it shares most of the mechanics with it. My printer is a heavily modified MK2 with a homebrew version of the Bondtech MK3 extruder)

@gloomyandy possible good test case

@oliof I know the Duet version has high jerk and mesh bed enabled. I have disabled those manually while printing. Haven't seen a improvement.

Another thing I forgot to mention. Disabling pressure advance also didn't help.

Photos! They're here!

MZV, frequency sweep from 36 to 56 Hz, jerk 300.

I did in the end notice some weird corner artifacts, I didn't pay much attention to this area before.

All shapers except EI3. Reduced speed, so the bands are closer together. 38 Hz, 0.1 dampening factor.

Interestingly, the results do differ for small segments:

MZV, no besh bed:

EI3, no mesh bed: it made shorter segments worse than baseline

And now: Klipper MZV:

That's the harshest lighting I could manage. It's just perfect somehow.

The different banding in the top and bottom half of each tower segment is (I think) because the move direction flips midway.

That's all I got so far. @oliof
