limit speed

How do I reduce the max speed & accel. I have added the following to my printer.cfg file. The overall limits appear to have set OK but my bed mesh & Z-tilt are still trying to move too fast. The problem is I have changed the motors to LDO 2804s thinking that they had more speed but they simply do not have the power / torque for the VC-500. So I have to limit the speeds to be able to use it at all untill I get replacement motors. [printer] max_velocity: 300 max_accel: 3000 [bed_mesh] speed: 300 [z_tilt] speed: 300

You try disabling performance mode in the confirmation steps?

RatOS does not mess with speeds for z_tilt and mesh as far as I know. It would use the speeds defined in Klipper and adjusted as you have done. The defaults are must slower than you have configured. I don't know of a separate setting for acceleration. [z_tilt] #speed: 50 The speed (in mm/s) of non-probing moves during the calibration. The default is 50. [bed_mesh] #speed: 50 The speed (in mm/s) of non-probing moves during the calibration. The default is 50. If the problem is between movements getting ready for z_tilt and mesh, RaOS does use some internal speeds for its own macros, defined as such: [gcode_macro RatOS] variable_macro_travel_speed: 150 # int = xy macro travel move speed
variable_macro_travel_accel: 2000 # int = xy macro travel move acceleration In many cases it is using 60% of the defined speed. You can try a quick test adding a section in printer.cfg with lower values to see what happens.

How do I do that? In the RatOS.cfg it had printer speed 800, travel 600, z-tilt 600 & bed mesh 600. When I added the printer limit speeds to the printer.cfg that worked but the travel & z-tilt both appear to still be using 600 as my current motors can't handle much above 300mm/s & they stall out.

Just put the sections abcurrie listed into printer.cfg 🙂

I did that alright. So I think it might be that my new AWD motors are binding a bit & that is preventing the gantry from moving even at 300mm/s. I have some dismantling to do now ☹️

Didn't notice until now that you picked the 2804's. They barely work without 48V and significant overcurrenting. They make very little sense on large machines, they just don't have enough torque.
