Unneeded movement #3508

Closed Metroprinter closed 6 years ago

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

I have Cura 2.6.2 and I have trouble with my printer because it goes back and forth and side to side without printing anything. It extra movement isn't part of the print and it can mess with my prints making them not print by say "ejecting and leaving small pieces of plastic on my print (if it even prints fully) Thank you! :smile:

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

tried using the newest version of Cura and still does the same thing. Is this normal?

Unless you post a screen shot or make the gcode available, nobody is going to be able to suggest how you may solve your issue. We're not mind readers...

Please post the gcode, I can't make out what's happening in the video. Thanks.

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

what you want is the 3d design? Here is the gcode of what I was trying to print

Github ignores mail attachments. You have to attach them via the website.

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

I tried but it doesn't support it. It won't load.

smartavionics commented 6 years ago

Either zip it or rename it to .txt

Thanks for the gcode, I don't really see lots of movement from side to side except for the little bits of extra skin it does at the end of each layer to fill the gaps between the walls which you can stop it doing by turning off the fill gaps between walls setting.

Thanks. I don't see all the things I see when it's printing, maybe it's my printer.

BagelOrb commented 6 years ago

It's a hardware issue.

Ghostkeeper commented 6 years ago

I've seen this before... Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/7h0i75/unnecessary_travel_moves_with_maker_select_v2_and/

Nobody seems to have found a real solution. It's got something to do with the USB connection to the printer. Apparently Simplify3D refuses to connect at all. The workaround that was found there was to only use SD cards.

ChrisTerBeke commented 6 years ago

That video reminded me of an issue I saw when developing drivers for 3D printers before. This happens when not enough lines can be sent to the printer over USB because the receiving end (aka the printer firmware) can't process them fast enough, and then it only executes partial commands (e.g. an X or Y coordinate with the other one getting a value of 0). That results in movements to the side of the print bed, then back, and then continuing the print. Especially cheaper printer kits are subjected to this as they use cheap hardware that sometimes can't run Marlin (or similar) properly. It even happens with line validation enabled as it's an error in the firmware only after the lines have been received. Maybe check if there is a firmware update available for the printer, or otherwise contact the manufacturer to ask for a fix.

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

Thank you, but the SD card has errors so...

Well, that's why the Maker Select v2 costs only 300 Dollars...

Also started off with cheap printers, most of them worked okay but got shitty over time or had issues like these.

Metroprinter commented 6 years ago

Agreed, I wish I still had my Warranty. It's sad to say this is my second printer (I returned the first one).

Do you know of any good cheaper printers? One that won't have so many problems.

Sorry @Metroprinter, I think at Ultimaker we would all agree you should buy an Ultimaker! 😉

I know they're just so expensive
