Pay for config / json files for my corexy printer build.

[Veti]

that went straight over my head.

[Stevo]

This be the "Road runner" lol

Finished it last year enjoyed nearly every minute of the build lol

[Stevo]

@veti as follows.....

[Stevo]

Evening,
If I wanted to home y axis first prior to the x due to how i plan to locate the x and y endstops have I made suitable alterations to the home all file to do this ?
Be gentle lol

[Phaedrux]

Yes that looks correct.

[Stevo]

@phaedrux should I swap around the x and “move slowly” commands ? Towards the end of the file

[Phaedrux]

That will depend if the end stops will still be lined up or not. If you need to get Y homed first to line up X, is the switch contact area large enough to trigger 5mm away? If it's still going to miss, you can switch the order of the second X and Y moves so that it moves Y first.

You can copy and paste each line of the macro into the gcode console to execute it one at a time for testing to make sure it actually works.

[Stevo]

@phaedrux thank you very much like that

G1 R1 X0 Y0 ; go back to the last print move
M83 ; relative extruder moves
G1 E10 F3600 ; extrude 10mm of filament

More of a question than a suggestion....
Theway I read the above is that 10mm of filament will be deposited on top of the last print position. Shouldn't the extrude filament command be first...as a priming step....then move the extruder to the last position to start printing again?
This is a really helpful thread...thanks!

[Stevo]

Evening,

I have done the final wire up and fitted the BLTouch and both X and Y limits.

Been editing the files to get me to where I am as follows,

When I turn on the printer the BL touch deploys and retracts twice and then lights up red self test ?
I can then hit the home all and the y axis will home firstly then followed by the x axis homing after this has completed the print head moves to the centre of the printbed which then starts to rise but the probe does nothing in regards to the homing of the z axis.

I realise I have not put the offsets in for the BLTouch just wanted to get an understanding of how the z homing should work.

Have wired BLTouch as per be true 3d link

Would appreciate a pointer please.

You've got a few commands duplicated there. You should probably clean those up to prevent future confusion.

It would seem you are using 0,0 as bed center? Just checking.

You may want to add a G1 X Y move before the G30 to place the probe in the same location as you do in homeall for consistency, unless you have different plans for using homez alone in certain situations. That's valid, but just be aware that G28 and G28 Z will give you very different results.

You're unbinding heater pin 7, but then you're targeting servo 3 in your deploy and retract commands. I think this is the reason the probe isn't doing anything. If you are actually using pin 7, then change the servo commands to be P7 instead of P3.

Did you test the deploy and retract macros? What happens if you send M401 and M402? (should be deploy and retract)

Use this procedure for safely testing your probe. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe

[Stevo]

@phaedrux Thank you for the help as always much appreciated!

Will report back once I have sorted my mess out lol.

[Stevo]

Evening all,
Now have signs of life from the BL touch on hitting the home button the bed lowers 15mm the y axis then homes followed by the x axis homing and then the printhead moves to the middle of the machine and deploys the probe and upon touching the bed and retracting the table lowers 15mm again.
Its a little hit and miss as sometimes when I turn the machine on the bl will just flash red and will not deploy at the z axis homing stage.
If I actually deploy the prove manually after one of these instances but prior to powering the machine on everything seems to be ok ?

Some people add a command to reset the BLTouch out of an error state, before using it for probing. You can add this command in homez.g and homeall.g (before the G30 command), and if you wish in bed.g. It's an M280 command but I forget the details. You may need a short G4 delay command after it, to make sure that the reset happens before the firmware tries to deploy the probe.

[Phaedrux]

@stevo said in Pay for config / json files for my corexy printer build.:

when I turn the machine on the bl will just flash red and will not deploy at the z axis homing stage.

Try adding this to the end of your config.g to clear any BLTouch errors and retract the pin just in case.

Evening all,

Just wanted to ask when the printer has finished its task how / where do I ask it to lower the bed and come back to the homing corner minima on x and y to cool print head down bearing in mind my origin is the centre of the build plate.
