M592 seems to have no effect on extrusion (in machine control)
-
M592 seems to have no effect if I test extrusion from the "Machine Control" tab.
If the following statement is true, I don't really know how to test it, because theoretically G1 E* will not work too?!Nonlinear extrusion is not applied to extruder-only movements such as retractions and filament loading.
-
Nonlinear extrusion is only applied to printing moves, i.e. moves that involve both XY movement and extrusion.
-
is there a way to test this without xy movement?

@dgrat said in M592 seems to have no effect on extrusion (in machine control):

No. If we applied nonlinear extrusion to extruder moves with no XY movement, it would mess up retraction distances and filament loading.
You can test M592 by doing a slow X and/or Y movement + extrusion, with the nozzle well clear of the bed. For example, if you do G1 X0 followed by G1 X100 E100 F300 then both X and E will move 100mm at 5mm/sec.

I been playing with M592 and did not get what I was expecting but think it should work. I will test print tomorrow and let you know if it helps.
I made the program below to move XY and E and measured how much filament is pulled. I ran it without M592 to get the numbers for the spread sheet. I have used the spread sheet found in other threads and came up with M592 A.018 B-.0015. My printer is a ANET A8. I left the default steps/mm at E100 for the tests and turned presaure advance off.

1mm/s = 94mm pulled
2mm/s = 93.5mm pulled
3mm/s =93.5mm pulled
4mm/s =93.5mm pulled
5mm/s =93.5mm pulledI expected M592 to get all feed rates closer to 90mm pulled. Any ideas why it did not do what I expected? I know I can change the steps per mm for E. Couldn't a formula be such that A and B would put the calibration to 90mm?
-
@Keith53 Non linear extrusion is to compensate for extruder slippage. So it can only increase the extrusion amount. You should calibrate the extruder steps per mm to give the correct feed rate at low speed.
-
Ok that makes sense. I was wondering why this was in the spread sheet and now I know.
Thanks
