Hi All,
I’m hoping someone can help me out with some horrible stuttering movement amd sounds that are happening with my ol’ A350. I wanted to try out Prusa Slicer after having some issues with others. So I downloaded the current version 2.9.4, and used the built in Snapmaker 2 profile with Dual head.
I adjusted filaments and tried to print a small thing for starters.
The start g-code functions at the beginning went normally. The head zipped around the bed and started to do its heating, priming, and tracing the bed perimeter bla bla bla. All that was just fine.
But once it started to print, as you’ll see In the video, the travel and print movements are horribly stuttery and sound absolutely awful. (plz ignore the bed mess and image blur, I haven’t been able to finish calibrating and phone’s camera is cracked :/…)
I taped a piece of spring steel onto the head to help visualize the stuttering on at least the Z-axis.
This hasn’t happened in any other slicer that I’ve tried. I’ve rebooted, and tried previous G-Code from other slicers and those print just fine. Tried the Prusa again and got the same result.
I went back into Prusa and changed some of the max speed settings thinking that it was just forcing it to go to fast or something and enabled “Emit limits into G-Code” since it wasn’t by default. and still no change.
I’m barely a lvl 1 g-code/firmware user. So I am out of my depth and at a loss on why this may be happening. More than happy to upload any other info that would be helpful.
I couldn’t tolerate listening to my dude sound like this, so I stopped after the first layer. It looks “good” but you can see odd movement lines and artifacts in the layer as evidence of whatever this was.
Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!
Also, in case you’re curious why I’m trying Prusa. I’ve gone through the big players and run into problems with them;
1 - Luban - Terribly limited in functionality and options. Also crashes for me.
2 - Cura - My preferred slicer, but I’m getting missing Z-Steps issues exactly like Snapmaker 2.0 Printing Defects - Z Feed Rate too high - Skipping Z steps · Issue #13420 · prusa3d/PrusaSlicer · GitHub that I can’t figure out. And I thought Prusa slicer would help as it was patched in the ticket in the link.
3 - OrcaSlicer - honestly, overwhelming for me. Settings layout is confusing. It also seems to ignore some of my changed settings. (not fully given up on this one yet!)
4 - Snapmaker ORCA - Unstable for me, crashing and pathing issues, printer freezes up mid print with it’s g-code files.
5 - Simplify3D - I’m a cheap bastard.
