@hackinistrator thanks for your reply and sry for my delayed answer. Leadscrews aren't an option as I have to stick with the rotating movement instead of linear movement of the axis because it drives another belt.

The motors are running at 24V.
Yes, I need 2Nm roughly to be able to move the axle. I have a gear ratio of 5:1 with 1/8 microsteps and two 1.9Nm Motors which leaves me with 3.7Nm left if 19,51% of the max power of the motor is preserved through 1/8 microstepping regarding the faulhaber website.

In theory and in praxis this is enough, the motor is working fine now. Only thing that I've pin pointed is that the timing belt is flexing too much and I am working on a solution for this at the moment.

@gloomyandy I'll check it tomorrow since I want to finish this print(guess I'll just sit here all night and resume the print after every fault). Where should I look for the sensor on the hotend?

@re_tour said in BLTouch bed leveling is always off:

RepRapFirmware for STM32F4 based Boards (biquskr_rrf_e3_1.1) version 3.3.0_11 (2021-11-04 23:04:15) running on STM32F4

Ah, ok.

@jay_s_uk

So I used a fresh SD card and reflashed the firmeware and all seems well. Thanks for all the help.

@phaedrux @phaedrux Got it going, many thanks! I considered doing that but was unsure if that was the proper course at the time and decided to get some help before I dug a deeper hole lol.

@dc42 okay thx, but i installed RC3 already so it is okay for me i guess. 🙂

G10 P0 X0 Y-20 Z0 ; set tool 0 axis offsets

You only have a single nozzle, so why do you have an offset in Y? Tool0 nozzle should be considered 0,0,0

G1 X32.3 Y32.3 F10000
In your homez you should position the probe at the center of the bed for best results.

G10 L2 P1 X0.00 Y0.00 Z1.78
Not sure why that offset exists in your config-override.g. It shouldn't. Have you sent M500 at some point?

@geekoam said in Unable to set Z-offset, distance between nozzle and bed:

where is the right place to enter in that The nozzle needs to be -0.29 closer to the bed after a G28?

Adjust your G31 Z value. A higher value moves the nozzle closer to the bed after homing. A smaller value moves it farther away after homing.

So if you need to be 0.29 closer to the bed, add 0.29 to G31 Z

Poe's Law strikes again!! 😂

But I did include the wink as required. 😉
