Issues with pressure advance since RRF 3.4

R4ffers

@argo I have it too

ArminP

I think i found my problem

I used the wrong parameter.

~~SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.2~~

M572 D0 S0.13

@arminp

I‘m glad you fixed your problem.

@ArminP

Tbh I'm not expecting a fix anymore. Too few are having issues and I understand that a problem that can't be reproduced is not fixable...

It's true that it's not easy solving a problem that can't be reproduced, but we have not given up either.

@phaedrux

What would be different in your environment to mine? I mean what if a Duet test machine does show the problem. Is there a debugging firmware involved that does provide more data?

Same bulging here.

6HC + 1LC with RRF 3.4.3 and PA 0.035.

@r4ffers If you think you have this problem please post details of your configuration (mainboard, toolboard or expansion board if any, pressure advance setting, Input shaper setting, print speed, acceleration, jerk), plus if you can a photo showing an example of the problem.

@gloomyandy Hi, here's some info.

Voron v2.4
Duet3 mini5+ with SBC
Duet3 mini2+ expansion board
Toolboard 1LC v1.2
LGX lite extruder
Firmware 3.4.3
PA 0.095

Tried with superslicer & prusaslicer
Tried different speeds, accelerations & jerk settings giving same results.

@r4ffers

PA 0.095 is quite high for direct drive setup.
Do you also get incomplete infill lines if you increase PA further to get less bulging corners?

bot

@r4ffers One thing I would try if I were you would be to increase the E jerk a little, and drastically decrease the E acceleration. You never need that much E accel. It becomes completely pointless -- essentially no E acceleration is ever applied because there are not enough steps to interpolate speeds across.

Try E Jerk 500 and E Accel 2500.

R4ffers

@argo I've been messing around with it for the last week. I had it set at 0.055 previously. I have noticed zero change to PA when updated in config.g However I was tinkering earlier and when I change PA live using paneldue whilst printing it does have an effect. I got the corners not perfect but not too bad, updated config.g with new PA value. Ran the print again and back to crap corners again. It's almost like PA value in config.g is being ignored.

bot

@r4ffers Make sure your slicer start gcode doesn't disable PA. Check every .g file on your SD card, too.

R4ffers

@bot thanks, I've just updated that. I'll try another print in a mo.

R4ffers

@bot ok good shout

Can't see anything tha'ts disabling PA.
if I issue M572 D0 whilst printing I get PA0.095

Doesn't seem to be

bot

@r4ffers Did you try this print with different E jerk/accel?

R4ffers

@bot yep. Made no change to the corners.

Argo

@r4ffers

So if you enter your PA value manually during a print - how do your corners then look?
