Jerk / Motion control

Hi,

 

In Cura 3.6 I switched off Jerk control via the tick box. I would have assumed that this should then let the printer use its defaults.

 

Though something strange happened, after printing, I did an M503 and it returned a jerk of 20. I double checked my FW and it was set to 8 when I flashed it.

 

I rebooted my printer and a M503 then reported the 8 I was expecting.

 

Any suggestions what I should do to test what is causing this please? Any ideeas what I can look for in the GCODE to check if something is changing it?

 

Ultimately, what I want is to be able to control the print speed itself in Cura, but accelleration and jerk should be done by the printer firmware defaults.

 

FYI. Printer is a CR-10S running Marlin 1.1.8.

 

Thanks

    Be aware that Marlin uses "sticky" parameters. All settings stay at the last value until the next reboot (or M501).

    If you want to be sure that every print starts with the stored values, add M501 at the beginning of the start script.

     

    If you want to check the generated gcode: jerk can be changed with M205, acceleration with M204.

    (follow the links for details).

    Did you save it in EEPROM? 

     

    Yeah, when I updated the FW I saved it. Something had changed the max_x_jerk etc. from 12 to 20 (just double checked). Reboot and it was back to normal.

    Thanks - good info.

    Definitely happening in Cura. I even have M204 + M205 setup in my startup code for the correct values... but then after that, I get this:

     

    ;LAYER_COUNT:50
    ;LAYER:0
    M107
    M204 S5000
    M205 X30 Y30
    G0 F3600 X130.766 Y130.38 Z0.2
    M204 S500
    M205 X20 Y20
    ;TYPE:SKIRT

     

    Above we can see  X20 Y20 - which is what it ends up.

     

    Just to double check... I don't have "Enable Acceleration Control" or "Enable Jerk Control" on, that's all I need to switch off right?

     

    Let me reset my profile again and see if I still get that. At least I can find out without having to print now. Thanks

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
