Jerky motion in Z on Maestro
-
I am trying the maestro board on one of our delta and somehow I am getting the Z motion stopping suddenly for a fraction of second at random points at any speed above F4000.
At F6000 is worse than at F10000Youtube links:

Have you tried with 16x Microstepping and interpolation turned on?
-
with 64x Microstepping and interpolation turned on the problem is gone.
M350 X64 Y64 Z64 E16 I1 ; Configure microstepping M92 X320 Y320 Z320 E1166:1166 ; Set steps per mmBut why is that ? is the CPU on the maestro not fast enough?
I am worried about print quality with 64x microstepping intsead of 128x... -
that was my suspicion about the cpu not beeing able to handle it.
however the tmc2208 does 256 microstepping with interpolation.
As far as i know there should be no difference in print quality to using x256 microstepping and using x256 interpolated microstepping.and the duet has a FPU for doing the complicated delta move calculations. The maestro does not.

=== Move ===
Hiccups: 67306,Hiccups occur when the MCU is overloaded and can't generate the steps fast enough. Reducing microstepping was the right thing to do.
-
with 64x Microstepping and interpolation turned on the problem is still here, after some hours I get "Hiccups"
now trying 32x microstepping...lets see -
have a look at an old post of dc42
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/1171/testing-the-effects-of-changing-microstepping-and-segmentation -
@veti
thank you!I understand there is no difference between higher microstepping and interpolated 16x as RRF is quite unique in how it handle the step clalculation. is this right ?
-
Using higher resolution microstepping does not increase the physical accuracy of your prints meaningfully, but it can reduce surface artifacts such as moire.
The interpolation is a feature of the TMC driver and not the RRF firmware.
So for the movement the duet is just fine with the accuracy of x16. And the driver internally translates this to x256 stepping for smoother and quieter motion.
If you want more movement accuracy that is where 0.9 degree stepper motors come into play. especially for delta printers. -
Update:
also with 32x Microstepping and interpolation turned on after some hours I get "Hiccups"
now trying 16x microstepping -
by "hicups" how many do you mean?
-
@Veti
1 hiccup
Enough to ruin the print -
at x32 i would not have expected that.
at what speed are you printing?
do you have an 12864 lcd connected? -
Me too but after few hours 1 hiccup translate into layer shift (in the best scenario)
Printing at 50mm/s non printing moves at 170mm/s
Connected to the Maestro is Panel Due 4,3" and a filament monitor with encoder.Maybe the reduction ration of the extruder (13:1) also is forcing the cpu to produce a lot of steps as the E0 driver is set to 1166steps/mm (microstepping 16x)
-
@paboman said in Jerky motion in Z on Maestro:
@Veti
1 hiccup
Enough to ruin the printA small number of hiccups should not affect print quality, because each hiccup lasts only 68 microseconds. The step pulse generator pauses for that amount of time to allow the processor to catch up with other tasks. It only does it when the step pulse generator has spent 60 microseconds doing nothing except generating steps.
-
the machine was printing, (i was doing M122 every 5 minuts) then I heard a strange noise so looked at the print and it was the beginning of a leyer shift.
After that a M122 get me 1 hiccup -
Alex Kenis found that the drivers work strongest at 24v 1/4 x256 interpolation in stealthchop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVs2d-TOims&t=1012syou will need to find the correct value of v for your setup so that it stays in stealthchop even at 170mm/s
M569 Px Vxxx (for each motor)that is what i would try next
-
also from your values. you are using a 40 tooth pulley?
this will actually decrease your positional accuracy compared to the more standard 20 tooth pulley.edit:forget that. i miscalculated
-
Unfortunatelly at 16X interpolated I still get 1 hiccup.
I know @dc42 said it should not affect the print but in my case the 1 hiccup cause a shift in Z resulting into nozzle digging into the print. -
@paboman Did it sound somewhat like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yGIwlT5qc8I wasn't aware of the diagnostics output, so I can't say if there were any hiccups, but I'll give it a look if it happens again. The nozzle didn't hit anything, there were no signs of that on the print. I suspected it did on the second snap, but no melted blobs anywhere suggest it did.
