Ender 5 Plus printing issues

General Discussion

Hi all,

Can any one tell me what may the root cause for these printing results, I’ve spend most of my day today checking and rechecking all the setting and recalibrating the printer and checking the slicer but nothing stood out to me, extrusion and PID tuning of both the bed and the nozzle are all good; could this be a sign that my Hemera is is dying:

The Voron cube on the right was printed with my Artillery printer which I just changed the drivers as one was dead. I’ve not modified my slicer setting so not sure what I’m missing here; please note that I’ve not setup pressure advance on any of the printers yet.

Thanks

Please provide the information as indicated when you opened the topic.

Likely causes:

  • Too high Z-speed in [printer] → max_z_velocity
  • Wrong [stepper_z] → rotation_distance

Sorry, here you go:

Printer Model: Ender 5 Plus
MCU / Printerboard: Duet 3 Mini 5 +
klippy (1).log.zip (1.8 MB)

klippy.log

I get no error message, the printer prints till the end as I don’t stop it so as far as I know it’s considering the print as a good print.

This is what I have in the printer.cfg set for printer:

[printer]
kinematics: cartesian
max_velocity: 200
max_accel: 2000
max_accel_to_decel: 1000
max_z_velocity: 5
max_z_accel: 100
square_corner_velocity: 10.0

and

for stepper Z:

[stepper_z]
#driver2
step_pin: PC24
dir_pin: PB28
enable_pin: !PC28
microsteps: 16
rotation_distance: 8
endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop
#position_endstop: 0
position_min: -5
position_max: 400
homing_speed: 10.0
homing_retract_speed: 4.0
homing_retract_dist: 3.0                # allow sufficient distance for BL Touch probe
second_homing_speed: 2.0

Your rotation distance should be 4 for Z, not 8.

Thank you, that did the trick! Can’t believe it was in my face all the time and wasn’t able to see it!
