Mesh calibration not working or what am I doing wrong?

G31 P25 X27 Y-4 Z1.78 ; set probe height

your configuration says to the right and infront.

Dep

Ahh. Thanks! I will try now G31 P25 X-27 Y4 Z1.78 ; set probe height

Dep

Thanks for the tip! It really helped and now even with a probing step 50mm everything is fine!

Veti

glad its sorted. can you mark the thread as solved?

Dep

No, I still can’t figure it out.

Yes, the table is really ragged. But what does it matter?

In the photo there is a fragment of a part that covers several calibration points. Why is this place not aligned?

Is it possible that the firmware has restrictions on the height of the table when adjusting?

I changed the calibration settings

M208 X0 Y-35 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima
M208 X1380 Y1210 Z1500; Set axis maxima

M557 X450:950 Y120:620 S50

it means that your bed is very uneven. as you have 0.2 differences between probing point (an entire layer) there is only so much that the mesh can compensate for. you will need a lot smaller spacing i would imagine.

can you post a picture of the mesh.

Dep

Do you want to say that mesh calibration cannot compensate for more than 0.2mm?

Veti

that looks absolutly terrible.

i am saying that if you have 0.2 between two points the area in between is calculated, so there could be deviations to the real values.
with a bed as uneven as that it is very likely that that is the case.

however looking at our printer setup, it could also be a mechanical issue with your x gantry. because of the length it could be sagging and produces this result.

Dep

All axes are calibrated and checked. Dimensions of printed part + - 0.2 mm

OK. The table is very uneven. But for calibration, what does it matter?

Why doesn't calibration work in this range?

Is there a limitation?

axis sagging has nothing to do with dimension.

your x axis and y axis are over a meter long. they could bend under their own weight of the beam is not rigid enough.
that would lead to an image you are seeing, where the sides are higher and the middle is low. i.e the weight in the middle is causing more deflection that on the sides.

Dep

Yes, I understand that.

But mesh calibration measures this deflection. Why is it not compensated during printing?

This is unfortunately impossible The maximum number of points is 121

Dep

But part of the model in the photo falls into several calibration points. Why are they not aligned?

Veti

@Dep said in Mesh calibration not working or what am I doing wrong?:

The maximum number of points is 121

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_mesh_bed_compensation

There is a firmware-dependent limit on the number of 441 probe points allowed.

Dep

I have a 0.8.5 board. And when i try to make more than 121 points, it gives an error.

But even with this number of points. They overlap the model. Why is it not calibrated.

I think there is some kind of limit on the calibration height.

I have spent many days and can not solve this problem.
There is no technical possibility to make a flat table on such sizes.

I don’t know what to do next.

Veti

what firmware version are you using?

Dep

Duet 0.85
RepRapFirmware for Duet 1.25RC4 (2019-10-19b1)
