New firmware 1.17 RC1
-
Hi David,
What do you mean by removed M201, acceleration cannot be set in configuration? Sorry I don't understand how it can be automatically done.
Thanks !

Yes, I too would like to know how I can set my accelerations if I can't use M201.
-
I said I removed the max average printing acceleration parameter in M201, not the standard M201 command parameters. I think very few people knew that extra parameter existed.
-
You're right, I never heard this parameter….
-
Me neither. I checked here before I posted and there is no mention of it http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M201:_Set_max_printing_acceleration.
Anyway, no worries (although if the sentence had read "Removed maximum average printing acceleration parameter from M201" rather than starting with "Removed M201….........." it would have had a less traumatic effect on my blood pressure)
-
Ok, I just changed the text to reduce confusion.
I plan to implement M202 as well in 1.18 to provide even more control over acceleration.
-
Thanks - blood pressure back to normal

Is there a difference between "G29 S1" and "M375"?
And while we're at it - is there a difference between using "M557" and "G29" or just using "G30 P…" for bed compensation? -
G29 S1 and M375 do the same.
M557/G29 and using G30 P commands in a bed.g file do different things. The bed.g file allows you to specify all the XY coordinates and also probe trigger height corrections, but you are limited to 5 points and there is no tapering. G29 allows many more probe points but because the coordinates are computed from the grid parameters, there are no trigger height corrections.

With the grid compensation tapering off feature, I presume if I am running 1.17 rc1 and have not specified an M376 command the compensation continues for the whole object? I only ask as I installed this firmware today and printed two 50mm tall cylinders. They have both come out slightly sloping i.e. x/y not perpendicular to Z. I am running a delta with a tooling plate bed, I've never seen any object sloping before. I cannot be certain the bed is absolutely perpendicular to the towers.

Yes the compensation continues throughout the print by default. Can you post pictures, and also try the same print without using grid compensation?
Also, after a skewed print, please run M122 and see if any step errors were recorded.
Your bed map does appear to have a tilt towards the high X low Y corner, but only a fraction of a mm. However, it might be caused by effector tilt changing the Z probe trigger height rather than a real tilt.

Okay so tried a few f/w versions and grid compensation on and off, still skewed so it's not firmware. Will start a new thread see if anyone had any ideas. https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?pid=5895#p5895
