Manual Feed Rate Changes when print starts V1.54

caldata · August 2015

I have 2 delta printers. One uses v0.91 firmware and the other uses v0.92 firmware. When printing with the printer that uses the v0.92 firmware, the feed rate control on the Host manual control tab changes from whatever I preset it to back to 100% when the print job starts. Once the job has started I must to change the setting back to what I had set prior to starting the job.

When I use the printer that has v9.01 firmware installed, this does not happen. The value always stays where I manually set it prior to the start of the print job. Is there a setting that I have incorrectly configured somewhere ? I have cloned the Slic3r slicer settings from the first printer so they should be set up to slice identically.

I checked the code I found

void Extruder::markAllUnjammed()

{

for(fast8_t i = 0; i < NUM_EXTRUDER; i++)

{

extruder[i].tempControl.setJammed(false);

extruder[i].tempControl.setSlowedDown(false);

extruder[i].resetJamSteps();

}

if(Printer::feedrateMultiply == JAM_SLOWDOWN_TO)

Commands::changeFeedrateMultiply(100);

which is the only part changing speed multiplier to 100. And this will only happen if it was set to JAM_SLOWDOWN_TO = 70 by default. So does it happen also with other values?

I also tried myself and it did not change the multiplier with 0.92. The only way for it to change is having M220 in your gcode or if it comes from firmware the firmware needs to return something like

18:47:08.631 : SpeedMultiply:128

(needs ACK enabled to see it)). So you should log to file and see if one of both happens and which commands were involved there.

Here is a log. I have manually set the Feedrate to 85% (highlighted in red). As soon as the print job starts, the rate resets itself to 100 %. The version of the firmware is actually 0.92.2 if that helps

The log is incomplete. It does not contain ACK messages which are important here. We see that the host never sends a 100% speed multiplier so it is not the host changing it. Firmware sends changes to host so host will update if you set multiplier on printer lcd. That would be contained in the ACK messages.

Also are you printing over the host or through the server? If through server the server could add commands also I'm quite sure it does not reset multiplier.

caldata · August 2015

I am printing through host 1..54.

Here is the log with the ACK turned on . You can see where I set the speed to 85%. You can also see where the speed is reset to 100 % . Where is that coming from? It is not in the G Code. There is no starting script..

Ok, I see it happening and from timing I have to guess it is G28 doing it, also current 0.92.4 would not do it. Can you update to latest 0.92.4 to be sure you are using the current code. Not sure if we had this in G28 at some time - at least now it is not there any more.

You should also test before if it is homing. Just set multiplier and home manually. That should reset multiplier already if I'm right.

caldata · August 2015

Yes, you are correct. Homing does set the multiplier back to 100%. I will upgrade the firmware to 0.924.

Thank You.
