Hello everyone, nice to meet you
I seem to be stuck at 250mm/s top print speed max.
if i try anything over 250, even 255, i get massive skipping, not even sure if i can call it that, the entire gantry gets stuck in place when moving diagonally after a couple of cm of movement. i would expect it to start skipping some steps when reaching it's limit and then getting progressively worse as i try to increase speed even more not a completely seized gantry and continuous funny motor noises for only 5 extra mm/s.
I made my own printer, have to admit it s not even a real trident since i reused some parts from 2 almost new machines to build it and i didn't want to do much cutting of the rails, or the aluminum profiles and so on so i ended up using the trident as an inspiration, designing my own parts around what i had. i also used the trident's firmware as a starting point. It's the same working principle.
BTT PI 1.2 + adxl345
SKR1.4turbo + BTT exp mot
6 x TMC2209 (sensorless homing for x and y)
BTT Microprobe plugged in the probe + servo on the SKR
Orbiter V2.5 + Volcano (W 0.6 CHT nozzle)
2 x 48mm NEMA17 for A+B / 3 x 40mm nema17 for the z's / the orbiter has it's own nema14 i think it is
12v ATX PSU (500w total i think, one 12vline (cpu lines feeding the skr), one feeding the PI and another one feeding the exp_mot)
750w heated bed @220v w a SSR
all linear rails (all moving smoothly, changed bearing balls in the blocks that seemed "suspicious" )
2020 frame with steel corners (the ones used to hold the furniture, fit perfectly and are really tough)
310x310 print surface
since i'll print a lot of PLA and PETG on it and i won t be enclosing it i used a drop down harness to the print head for lightness etc
I printed a couple of cubes on it , slow speeds, printed a 20cm tall Adalinda on it at 200mm/s max and 8k accell, took about 4.5 hours, printed just fine, really happy with the quality too
I tried something at 300 and then it started acting up, first diagonal movement larger than a couple of cm during the print, the gantry and print head froze in place + motor noise
I tried using Ellis's script (thank you @Ellis for the script+guide) after that to test the machine without printing.
It won t go over 250, no matter what acceleration i tried, same thing, gantry seized in place. even with 255mm/s speed and 400mm accell ....
@250mm/s speed , it seems to be doing fine with as high as 20k accel, only did single iterations so far and did not go over 20k
tightening/loosening the belts did not help
regreasing all the rails did nothing
increasing the voltage for x and y from 0.9 to up to 1.4 did nothing ?!?!
increasing hold current from 0.75 to 1.2 or commenting it out completely did nothing
i built pritners before, i'm relatively new to klipper though
i attached the .cfg bellow the includes are standard (copy / paste the Microprobe config, same foe Ellis's)
should i order a 24v PSU? i still don't unederstand the "voltage" .how the firmware set motor voltage can have a set 0.-1. something volts ut a 24v psu vs a 12v psu helps how? but i'll switch it to 24v if that is the issue
the printer seemed pretty fast to me @200/8k and it prints fine, seemed even faster in the test @250/20k but this hard limit doesn't seem normal at all to me, i think this machine can go faster.
Am i missing something?
Thank you all,
