@oc_geek do you change the mode after config.g is run?
Ian
No i don't.
I had force spread-cycle in config.g (or to say i did but it got messed up...) via M569 D2
I now restated it in config.g...
will continue trying that mode and report if anything happens (hope not)I have a Voron 2.4, it doesn't run any stall homing thing...
thanks

So it does look like the main issue was solved with the new beta FW.
Interesting that he needs V2 in his config to put the drivers into StealthChop. With my Mini5+ StealthChop mode is by default on and I do not have to set any “V” parameter.
Still I’m curious why this hasn’t been in issue with my Mini5+ as we have quite similar Prusa Styles printer’s.
Maybe revision of the MCU? I remember having a skipping extruder with 3.3b2 which after flashing and compiling firmwares back and forth wasn’t reproducible anymore. During that time I also had timeouts but the fact that I could not reproduce it was annoying from a debugging standpoint.
I’m also glad you confirmed the capabilities of TMC2209s StealthChop (300 mm/s). Here and there you can hear voices that assume it’s only usable for low speeds but for belt driven 3D printer’s it’s well beyond what we need and what will also produce decent prints in terms of ringing.Nevertheless I’m glad we have a working firmware version now. I also will continue testing the LDO 0.9 motors with the new FW version but that’s maybe worth a new thread then?

@argo working with SpreadCycle... which we are testing
Stealthchop caused layers shifts to me tonight

Stealthchop can't react to sudden changes in load, such as when the print head hits a blob or overhang when travelling at speed. For this reason, I advise against using stealthChop at high speeds.

@oc_geek please post config.g. Looks like you have a low changeover speed to spreadcycle, does it mostly print in spreadcycle?
Ian
Hi Ian,
which speed do you suggest to set for the mode swicth over ?Currently i'm forcing D2 but i may try differently
thanks

Though it’s not RRF but my printer with Klipper I use 200 mm/s travel speeds for draft prints and 160 mm/s infill speed for infill. External perimeter speed is slower (75 mm/s) because it’s just a bed slinger printer and would ring too much.
Bord is a cheap SKR 1.4 + TMC2209 in StealthChop mode.
Cornering velocity (comparable to jerk) is at 5mm/s as Klipper advises against going higher with input shapers and acceleration at 3.000 mm/s (going higher would be possible but then fine details get mushy because of too much input shaping).
Luckily so far I haven’t had any issues with shifted layers. During travel speed I use a Z hop height of 0.2mm so it does not hit anything.The last time I had trouble with StealthChop having layer shifts was with the old 8bit Prusa EINSY board and TMC2130 drivers.
I do not remember but are you having layer shifts with 1.8 or 0.9 motors?
-
@argo ...sorry to say but all that it doesn't seem to be much relevant in here...let's please try to keep the replies on issues found on RRF / Duet
the tread is already long enough for the folks to work it with..besides i have 0.9 OMC on A/B/Z
-
0.9 I see. I also had issues with 0.9 + TMC2209 on different boards and firmwares (Marlin, RRF).
At what speeds does the layer shift happen or is it somehow possible to easily reproduce it? I’m happy to add data to the matter with two sets of 0.9 motors from LDO and StepperOnline. -

Yesterday I tested at D3 V40 (I think), which was around 3mm/s from memory. This was below the jerk value, and seemed to work well, but I was running short air prints and fast test moves, not an actual print. Again, i set this in config and didn’t change it after reset.

Configuration is :
- Rel 3.3 beta 2+2
- Forced SpreadCycle (D2)
- Mesh active
Still getting layer shifts
(see below at back after couple of layers)
I stopped the print - it produced a sound when that happenedDumps:

@oc_geek what exact motors do you have?
Ian

@droftarts said in Missing Steps - Cant Print SpreadCycle StealthChop tuning help:

OMC Steppers On Line
17HM19-2004S (0,9 deg) - on 4xZ, A and B
17HS08-1004S (1.8 deg) for the Extruder in Afterburner (aka Clockwork)P.S. These are the ones used by folks which have 0.9 OMC in Voron 2.4

; Accelerations and speed are set in a file
M98 P"/macros/speed_printing.g"What speeds are you using to force the layer shift?
I'm going to do a test print with LDO-42STH48-MAC 0.9 motors at 200 mm/s travel speed and 3000 mm/s acceleration forced into SpreadCycle.
Are those speeds high enough to force the error on your side? -

Yust to be clear ...
i'm not forcing anything... i'm just trying to print...without success -

@oc_geek, please load the firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dupd9u1xppr1om5/AADYg4guuj2n8LJokVqtK-C7a?dl=0. When you observe the problem, pause the print and run the following command for values of # from 0 to 4:
M569.2 P# E0
Post the results here.

I'm sorry but i moved away from the beta
and went back in 3.3 beta 1 without mesh....At some point also homing went crazy and
G1 X... F360 H1
was stopping in the middle of the rail without the sensor beeng actually triggered... i had to power off twice to get it back to normal.... -
@oc_geek fair enough, thanks for your help. Can you post the Gcode and I’ll try and replicate on my machine.
I had a quick look at the OMC stepper specification, seems very similar to E3D/Wantai motors I have, and the LDO.

I tested a small print on my machine at 300 mm/s travel speed and 4000 mm/s acceleration (LDO-42STH48-MAC 0.9 motors) in SpreadCycle mode without issues.
Unfortunately I don't have a Duet 3 Mini 2+ Dual-stepper Expansion Board but the issue might only occur when using all stepper channels at once (just a guess).
Could you also replicate that part?
