Dual Z problem with Version 1.21
-
the problem after updating to 1.21 was that the 2 z screws didnt move synchron,its looked like the motor on the z connect was half as fast like the motor on e1
-
I would love to upgrade to 1.21 but is this problem solved or was it a configuration problem?
-
I had the same problem on 1.19 check this : - setting > machine properties > drive 2 and 4 and see if they have to same figures.
For some reason it set drives 2 and 3 identical and set drive 4 to the extruder settings , so to get around it by making the Z motors 2 and 3 . -
I only see X,Y,Z and E0 no other drives , not as numbers. I have this in my config
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 ;driver 0=x;1=y,2+4=z
and that works in 1.20 -
AlexLin:
I'm running the exact same motor/drive/axis combination as you.
And I'm having no problems with 1.21. -
The problem is that in your M584 command you didn't list the new extruder driver numbers. See the GCodes wiki page.
-
OK got it.Now it works…....so that should havebeen a problem in 1.20 too?
-
Yes it should, so I don't know why you didn't have that problem before.

Im having an issue where my dual z motors move at different speeds after an upgrade to 1.21.
its on a wanhao di3 printer.
It homes x and y correctly, and was working until i upgraded. also another issue i have is that when a print would complete (back when it worked) the exruder would go in reverse for about 10 mins and i had to hard power it down.. not sure what thats about either. i do i have a duet wifi for my delta as well and no issues.; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 1.21)

also another issue i have is that when a print would complete (back when it worked) the exruder would go in reverse for about 10 mins and i had to hard power it down.. not sure what thats about either.
..........end of quoteThe usual cause of that is the slicer end code retracting the extruder by a relative amount, (say 3mm), but the Duet board has been given a M82 command so it thinks that is an absolute value. That is to say, rather than retracting by 3mm in this example, it retracts all the filament up to 3mm after the extruder was last set to zero (which usually happens at the beginning of a print). So basically it tries to retract all the filament that was used in the print apart from the last 3mm (in this example).

It homes x and y correctly, and was working until i upgraded.I don't see any M584 command in your config.g, so I presume that you have the Z motors connected to the Za and Zb motor connectors. Is that the case? If so then your Z axis is probably binding, perhaps because the two motors have got out of sync, or because the motor current is too low.
also another issue i have is that when a print would complete (back when it worked) the exruder would go in reverse for about 10 mins and i had to hard power it down.. not sure what thats about either. i do i have a duet wifi for my delta as well and no issues.
See @deckingman's response. You need to add either M83 or G92 E0 before the G1 E-nnn command in your slicer end gcode (or in stop.g if that is where you have it).
