Independent Dual Z axis auto level.
-
I have 2 Z axis motors and that are leveling the gantry when I run a G32. I am leveling the z axis then re-homing and repeating to check. Then I mesh level. The problem is that I am very consistently getting a slope (left side higher than the right side) when the plot shows up.
Do I have to use G30 to level the bed from 2 points or can I level the bed from the mesh leveled points?
I seem to be pretty consistantly off about .3mm every time I run the G30 lines of code. It says it corrects to 0, but if I run it again I am off by about .3mm.
i figured that if I run it a bunch of times in a row, it might gradually get better, but no dice. It will correct to about .3mm and never really get any better. Is this normal?

I had that problem at first and it was I had both my z motors connected to the same z driver. I needed to switch one to a separate driver. I use driver 2 and 5 Z2:5 depending on youre firmware you might need a u axis.

Please post your full config.g and homeall.
You may also want to consider updating your firmware to 2.05.1. You're a bit out of date. Be sure to read the release notes for all versions in between 2.02 and 20.05.1 for changes you may need to implement.

I can get down to .o3 . You can make a macro with you're bed.g.
dc42 said this in another thread.Copy your bed.g file to another macro file; then change the S parameter on the final G30 command to S-1 to get a report only when you run that macro.

Here is my Config File. I am not using the bed leveling in home all. For now I just call G32 manually when I want to perform the function. I will automate this in home all later.
My Z axis are connected to separate drivers

I would try adding .05 or subtracting to one of youre leadscrew distances (M671 X-116.05:322 Y100:100 S4 ) and then see if you get a better score. or maybe .5
Might be you're probe. I use an original bl touch.

You have 6 drives mapped using M569 but 7 drives mapped using M584.
What board are you using?
