Strange Ringing artifacts on coreXY

We (Jan, makerdise managing director) also did some analyzes with Denis, however there seems to be no mechanical influence as we already did test the most common/known cases.
Especially we don't believe that the pulleys do influence the behaviour as they were changed, optimized by hand etc. without any visible changes in the pattern. Denis did measure on multiple points, the rods seems to be stable enough to handle the belt length. In conclusion, the stuttering can be caused by soft- or hardware issues related to the activation of the related drivers.

@mloidl - we already did try quarter steps, anyway thanks a lot for your input...
-
Just saw it, was confused because of the 80Steps/mm. So you're using 1,8°/step motors. Thats different to mine.
-
Yes, 1.8°, I think from OMC @kuhnikuehnast please post a link...
-
here, these are the motors I used. (don't have the data sheet of the stock of the Anet A8 I also tried)
-
-
So seems that I could go for a 350 mm/s speed until the torque starts to drop with the stepper motors I own... The videos linked in the first post are performed at a speed of 6000 mm/min (100 mm/s)

Hi,
try:
M201 X1000 Y1000 Z250 E600
M203 X12000 Y12000 Z1800 E3600
M204 P1500 T2500and try to print a test cube @ 30mm/s max. 40mm/s, show some pictures.
Greetings

Started printing. But The M204 seems to be very fast for my Z-axis? As I own a Nimble (30:1 ratio) i left the M201 at 120 as recommended by zesty.
-
U mean M203? there is no Z parameter for M204... The Z parameter is from your config u posted before I would set it to Z680 or 720 depends on your Z axis setup, weight of the heatbed ect... Using pressure advance u schould set your jerk min. to 600 so mayby try to turn off pressure advance too.
-
With M204 you set the travel acceleration. Isn't this also then used for the z-axis?
I also tried prints with Pressure advanced off before...
This is the "cube" I printed in vase mode at 40 mm/s:Results are almost the same:

Do you have quality 3M belts or china? How about your hotend mount is it stable or wobbly.

Check his OP - seems he's tried them.

I had very similar ridges on my corexy and the solution for me was to replace the toothed idlers with smooth bearings and do a belt flip so the smooth side rode on the bearings. It seemed that the diameter of the idler was too small or the profile of tooth and belt mismatched enough that it wasn't meshing smoothly.
Also, I recall a thread from not long ago where using very low steps per mm was causing motor movement to be less smooth.
Just some thoughts
Here's an example of what I had.
-
Could be an extrusion problem.
Add some pictures of the complete printer so we can have a better idea... -
I second the vote for extrusion problem. Try changing the extruder motor current up or down 20% and see if the pattern changes.
I've seen this in direct extruders with no gear reduction and relatively large filament drive gears.
What kind of extruder is on the machine?
-
@whosrdaddy @mrehorstdmd @kuhnikuehnast did test a bowden setup as an alternative, while currently running a zesty nimble (which sounds like a hot candidate having a non concentric part or imprecise worm drive etc.)... This was also one of my first ideas (inconsistent extrusion). However, the pattern remains nearly the same on both setups. The distance between the "waves" is very consistent so this could only be caused by a part moving around in circles with a non-concentric bore or wrong clamping (in theory).
Damn.
@mrehorstdmd - are you the guy with the belt driven z-axis printer, do I remember right? If so, respect.
-
as @makerdise already told: at first, I was "hoping" to have an extrusion problem... But as I tried 2 different types of extruders and also with 2 different stepper motors, the problem persisted. And if you watch the video, you can also se the "sine wave like" spinning on the axis. These videos were made by just "printing" a g-code like:
G21
G91
M564 S0 H0
G0 X300 F6000
G0 X-300 F6000
G0 X300 F6000
G0 X-300 F6000
...So all the possible interfering factors were eliminated.

Does it get worst when u print @ 0.1mm layer hight? (does the "ringing" changes, increase?)
