New beta firmware 1.20.1RC2 and DuetWiFiServer 1.20+1
-
Appears to work as expected, testing PETG at 240C, 0.4mm v6, flex3drive extruder. Preliminary results indicate A=0.05, B=0.004 work well up to 3.5mm/S. From 4mm/S upwards, compensation not really effective which doesn't surprise me as I've never been able to reliably get much more than approx 6 mm^3/S out of the v6. Will continue to test but it's looking good so far.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not tested whether increasing the spring tension on my Titan affects the amount of nonlinearity.
-
The flex3drive extruder doesn't appear to have any means of adjusting the "grip" - hasn't been a problem so far except for some TPU like stuff I have which is only 1.55 dia and so I have to add some packing to the over-centre lever otherwise the filament slips. The extruder works OK but it's a shame that it doesn't have any means of adjusting for filament diameters that aren't close to 1.75.
-
Done some prints with M592 active and they look very good. I believe the quality in terms of extrusion amounts has been improved. Here's a couple of images…
-
Discovered an interesting side effect of the non-linear extrusion - now that it doesn't underextrude (so much) at the higher extrusion rates, I found that a print using TPU like filament failed because the extrusion rate on a skin layer increased sufficiently to reach the throughput limit of the extruder/hotend combo. So a gcode file that had printed OK before, now doesn't print well. The solution was to reslice the part with a reduction in the speed at which the skin was being printed so that the throughput limit was no longer being reached.

I did not get my machine to reproduce the slowdown issue I posted about in another thread. However, after updating to this firmware and printing for the last 30 minutes I checked the diagnostics and got the following:
