Y Axis Slippage 3D printing

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
