Extrusion Flowrate Adjustment Malfunction
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2016 3:15 pm
While printing, when the flowrate is reduced via Repetier-Host OR the printer's LCD screen, the extruder runs at the slower rate until it reaches the end of a line. At the end of every line, the extruder quickly accelerates and dumps excess plastic (very evident during infill direction reversals), then continues the next line at the slower rate. The longer the line, the greater the dump at the end of it. Flowrate adjustment works in MatterControl, yet I still prefer Repetier Host. I posted this on the repetier forum http://forum.repetier.com/discussion/15 ... ion#latest and they suggest a firmware upgrade to 0.92.8. Before I attempt that, I'm checking here to see if this is a known issue with an easier fix, as I have not been able to find any.

Board: Rambo 1.1b
Repetier Host 1.6.0
Firmware: 0.91S by SeeMeCNC uploaded via Arduino IDE 1.6.1 with Arduino Mega 2560 board selected. Configuration.h and pins.h modified for a 2nd extruder/hotend but is currently not used - number of extruders set to 1.
Extruders: DGlass3D HPX2 2:1 ratio with "half-sized" NEMA17 steppers, tuned to 498 steps/mm
Extruder config values:
Start feedrate 45 mm/s
Max feedrate 100 mm/s
Accel 6500 mm/s^2
