Layer Positioning Issue

[adrianbear]

Hi @MaikStohn, @kscheff, Testing version "UP3DTOOLS_WIN_20160508_v0.6.2" with my UPBox, there is an issue with the layer positioning. The error can be seen both in a real print and when converting back to gcode. This is the original preview

After converting to up code and then back to gcode, the preview looks like this

I considered this may just be an issue with the preview only from converting back and forth so I printed it anyway, but the real print has the layers off too.

The files might help :), I couldn't zip everything so I excluded the upcode and the converted back to gcode files (as I figured you could reproduce them with your tools anyway) LayerPositioningIssue.zip

Thanks for the files.

Will have a look at them. The problem seems to be very very small segments (time wise), This only seems to happen when your speed is very slow.

The print shown here was done at 3600 mm/min which is only a bit slower then the UPBox turbo speed on a 0.4 mm layer height (5020 mm/min). I also originally tried the print at 4800 mm/min but got the same result.

I will have a look as soon as I find some time for it.

Hi,

this was a tricky one. Actually everything was working perfect except a small thing. The absolute Z-move for layer change was not synchronized with the normal movement buffer, which was caused by a skip (ultra small timing segment). So I was looking at wrong place for some time.

New version contains a fix for it. Please check and close the issue if it's solved.

EDIT: Looks like the build is a bit slow today. Please wait and check for v0.6.4 to download.

[adrianbear]

Yeah, the windows build is taking a while

Finally the build was getting through. v0.6.4 is ready now.

This appears to be resolved in version 0.6.4. Closing the issue :) Adrian
