y slope with 3.5.0-rc1, not seen with 3.4.6

[balajiramani]

@gloomyandy Yes, it is a delta.

[gloomyandy]

@balajiramani Can you post a picture or link of what the print that you had fail (in the photo above) is supposed to look like? I'm trying to work out what happened. Unfortunately I know very little about deltas, but it might be worth you posting your config.g file so that we can take a look at your settings.

[balajiramani]

@gloomyandy Here is the first layer of the same gcode printer using 3.4.6.

With 3.5.0-rc, the nozzle digs into the bed.

@balajiramani Here is another photo that shows the slope in the y direction.

The one on the left was printed with 3.5.0-rc and the one on the right was printed with 3.4.6.

[balajiramani]

@balajiramani

Here is my config.g file.

@balajiramani please run M122 before you start the print, then post a M122 report taken after layer shifts have occurred. I am interested in whether it shows any step errors. Note, after reporting the step error count the count gets cleared to zero, so if you run M122 again the information will be lost.

@dc42 I am getting a smooth y slope with no hics or step errors printing a 30x20x20 cuboid (filled)

@Adrian52 thanks. Please repeat that with input shaping disabled.

@Adrian52 please provide those two GCode files you are printing that exhibit the problem.

[Adrian52]

@dc42This is the gcode - it gives the slope with IS on (I used zvd) and no slope with IS "none".
30x20x20cube_filled.gcode

[dc42]

@Adrian52 thanks. My delta also has 200 steps/mm so I'll try it on that.

[dc42]

@Adrian52 I increased the max speeds and acceleration on my delta to the values in your config.g and set the input shaping to be the same. The print came out OK.

If you send me the GCode file for the other print that had a lean, I'll try that one.

PS - I've just noticed an anomaly in the 'min interval' value in your M122 report after the print that leaned. That may be relevant to this issue. I will investigate it.

[Adrian52]

@dc42 I only used that gcode file - for me, it leans with IS on, but is vertical with IS off. The effect is not that obvious - just less than 1mm over the 20mm height.

[dc42]

@Adrian52 i meant the one in this post https://forum.duet3d.com/post/325473.

[Adrian52]

@dc42 here is a picture of the effect:

the left cuboid is sloped in the y+ direction (IS on), the right cuboid is vertical. The short sides (x-facing) of the centre cuboid are vertical . The print quality seems fine to me, apart from the lean.

[Adrian52]

@dc42 Here it is
jig1_225.gcode
I couldn't find the original gcode, so I resliced with the same conditions as the cube. I checked print, and amazingly it came out looking exactly like the blue ones in the early post, going vertical from the U cutout on the y+ face

[Adrian52]

Just checked printing the same jig1 gcode file with IS disabled, and there is still some slope on the lower part - around 1mm offset at the base, compared with about 2mm with IS on zvd.

[dc42]

@Adrian52 please re-run some of those prints that give you a slope, but before the print run this command:

M112 B4096

This will likely result in debug output on the DWC console during the print. Please post that output here. If you don't see any debug output, please take a M122 report when the print finishes, or when you are sure it is leaning if you don't want t complete the print.

[gloomyandy]

@dc42 Did you mean M111 B4096 rather than M112 B4096?
