T1 moves in X without being asked.
-
I'm attempting to tune my IDEX printer, but when I position the second extruder (t1) over the bed and attempt to lower the gantry, the carriage moves back to the U axis limit EVERY TIME.
The X axis doesn't do this, only U axis. This is with that tool selected and active.
I cannot fathom why it would happen, but it occurs no matter how much of a z move is requested, and the Y axis stays still.
I'm beyond frustrated with it! WHY MOVE IN AN AXIS I DIDN'T REQUEST?!?!?!?!?!!?!
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Why is this even happening? I really can't come up with a reason anyone would desire this behavior in their machine so I've either screwed something up or this is a bug of some kind.

Please cut-and-paste your config.g and homing files using the </> tag.
When you use that tag the result should look something like this:

Show us your gcode please. config.g, homing files, tool change files. What firmware version? What duet board? What commands did you send to get it to do what it does?
-
Lol my gcode is "g1 z0" or literally anything that asks for a movement in Z while the tool is selected. I can click the "-0.5" button in the web interface, type a gcode command, anything, they all have the same problem.
MB6HC, firmware 3.3.

Can you send M98 P"config.g" in the console and report any errors?
And your homing files?

No errors come back from the m98 command, I get the following response:

homeall - the last 3 lines seem odd
homeu - seriously odd
Also if you don't already do it your bed.g file after doing a leveling the bed you need to set the Z=0 datum again with G30.

Hey Frederick, none of that is relevant to the question being asked here. Do you have anything of value to add?
I've already stated that the machine is a work in progress. If you don't have anything helpful to add, maybe don't post anything in a thread next time.

I get that it's sometimes frustrating to receive help from forum volunteers that's not <specifically> what you are asking for.
Please accept the free help even if it's not perfect.
This forum runs on helpful volunteers as well as professionals. We need the volunteers to continue helping this community.It's quite fine to ignore helpyness you aren't interested in receiving, but please do not encourage people not to post. It makes everyone less likely to try and help you or the next person in line with a question.
I do not know anything about your printer, so I can't be helpful for this problem, but maybe I can help you another time in the future.
-
@alankilian consider this constructive criticism in that spirit.
Help that didn't get asked for isn't help at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
And I'd repeat my criticism for your post, do you have anything of value to add here? If not, maybe the forum would be best served by your going help someone with something that you understand?
-
@terbospaghetti Is there a line missing from your homeall.g file? If not it looks like it will leave you set in relative mode, which may not be what you intend. I doubt if that will be causing your strange movement problem though. You may want to connect via USB and enable gcode debug by using M111 P3 S1 then run your test, the output may provide a clue as to what is going on.

What a wonderful attitude. I will indeed refrain from intruding.
I will just add this one thought. My printers all work.

I was going to put some time and effort into going over your files closely, but your attitude has dampened my enthusiasm. I'd rather spend some time with my family. Maybe tomorrow if you can manage to show some contrition between now and then. I don't want to leave you with nothing though, so have you seen this? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringMultipleIndependentXcarriagesCartesian

I'll risk the flames... and this is a guess. What you describe is one axis (U) moving when you are commanding a different axis (Z) to move. One possibility is that you have a motor assignment saved in firmware. M584 does not eliminate previous mappings. To test, in your config.g, add an M18 to clear all motor assignments (M18 X Y Z A B C D U V W ). This needs to be before the M584 command. I have this in my config.g as a matter of personal policy.

G10 P1 X0.1 Y-0.6 Z0.265 ; set tool 1 axis offsets
This line is sufficiently different to my IDEX configuration that I believe your X offset on T1 may be related to this issue. On my printer with an X span of 235 mm the minimum distance between the nozzles is 58.5mm to avoid them crashing into each other, so my X offset is just that (Y offset is unrelated and Z offset is 0 because I can adjust the height of the hotend):
G10 P1 X58.5 Y-14 Z0 R0 S0This is a pure shot in the dark, but maybe it helps you figure out what's oing on.

This kind of holier-than-thou attitude is exactly why I hesitate to come near this forum in the first place. You don't wanna come near an issue unless you get the chance to pick at any little detail.
All of you go fuck yourselves, I'm glad I bought clones.
