This is a new issue I’m having that has just manifested itself. I’m running the latest Orca firmware and vibration compensation but have had a few successful prints since doing that. Any thoughts on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Fred
Any other setting to report?
I think it’s a speed/acceleration issue.
This means your direction changes maybe too fast.
I’ve been using these settings for some time now without issue. I can slow down xy travel speed to say 3000 and give that a try. What do you think?
Thanks for the reply
Your print speed with 50mm/sec is not too fast.
May share your terminal output of M503?
Are you sure your build plate was not slipping (by vibrations) ?
Is your vibration compensation enabled?
I’m not sure it’s not slipping. I’ve started another try so when i get a chance I’ll check M503. Vibration compensation is enabled.
Here is the output of M503. I don’t know how to interpret it though.
Thanks

ok
Also when I enabled vibration compensation I did not evaluate any frequency.
These are the acceleration settings.
You can find gcode commands here:
I would start to lower the acceleration of print and travel moves from 4000 to 3000 and hopefully you need no more adjustments.
Do this by entering following into the terminal console:
M204 P3000 T3000
M500
Hope it helps, let me know your progress please.
Thanks I’ll give it a try. On a related note someone on Facebook asked if I had the bracing kit and said they had a similar problem which has required them to clean the Y axis gears and they are now waiting for grease apparently. If your suggestion doesn’t work I’ll probably have to check out the Y axis myself as until a few weeks ago I had been doing a lot of CNC work. Now I have a dedicated CNC machine I restarted 3D printing a few weeks ago and planning some laser work but perhaps it’s been gunked up with wood dust.
thank
I have good news and bad news. The good news is I’m printing with no slippage. The bad news is I have too many variables. My filament was almost out so I switched to a different model in the other nozzle. So filament, nozzle, model or acceleration. I will work to eliminate the variables and hopefully filament or nozzle will be the culprit!
Thanks for your help
Fred
More bad news - it has started slipping again. I have reported this to support and we’ll see what they have to say. You can see the issue in this cube.
Well if this is in Y, at least with a bedslinger you don’t have to worry that filament tension is contributing to missed steps. One less variable to have to consider.
Good point,
Thanks
If you need to you could set it back but this comes from your axis or print settings.
Here is something to read about a similar issue:
Welllll - I had installed the Snapmaker-Orca firmware but am still learning so slicing stuff with Simplify 3D. I sliced the cube with Orca and it printed fine. I’ll keep testing but thanks for the suggestion.
Fred
It’s not about the slicer itself, it should visualize the effect of slicer settings.
I’m thinking it may be the Orca firmware having an issue with Simplify 3D. I’m reporting it to SM as a potential bug. I have 3 confirmed files slipping sliced with Simplify3D and none with Orca.
For clarification, orca or simplify 3d is no firmware, the generated gcode by these slicer softwares are limited by the firmware on the machine.
Support or this topic is the right place:
Yes understand.
Thanks for the clarification.
Fred
If you like to use simplify3d you have to reduce the acceleration to a working limit.
It depends on short infill moves like described in the linked topic.
In a previous version 2500 was good limit for me.
