BL-Touch and problems

n3ovo

Hello Again ... back with more questions and as alway the last answers help all of my past problems

how big can the sd-card 64 ? 128?
I would like to add a camera to the system. is there just a wifi/wired small camera i can use for monitoring the printer at will get me a JPEG picture like it's neededs ( thought I see something before but forgot you look closer now i just forgot.

Now on to my next problem ... i have been working on my printer bed all this time as soon as i got the Bed Mash Compensation working ( and man was my bed messed up )
i got it all working but when i go to print it will not move down to the set height of printing nozzle. Stays at the bl-touch hight. ??? tried and tried. Worked all night on it and just can't get is to working . I know that it is something i have (Again) mist!

I am Sending my code but i don't think this will show anything. Also sending what i have tried to follow

list itemCalibrate the Z probe trigger height

Make sure the dynamic test is successful (Z probe stops when it senses the bed) before doing this.
Cancel any currently active mesh compensation with M561
Use the X and Y jog buttons to position the nozzle over the centre of the bed
Jog the nozzle down until it is just touching the bed or just gripping a sheet of paper. If the firmware doesn't let you jog it down far enough, send M564 S0 to disable axis limits.
Once you have the nozzle touching the bed, send command G92 Z0 to tell the firmware that the head is at Z=0
Jog the head up by 5 to 10mm

Send command G30 S-1. The nozzle will descend or the bed rise until the probe triggers and the Z height at which the probe stopped will be reported. If you are using a nozzle-contact Z probe, the trigger height will be slightly negative. For any other type of Z probe where the probe triggers before the nozzle contacts the bed, it will be positive.
Repeat from step 5 two or three times to make sure that the trigger height is consistent.
In Duet Web Control, go to Settings -> System Editor and edit the config.g file. Set the Z parameter in the G31 command to the trigger height that was reported. Save the file.
Open config-override.g and check that there are no G31 commands in it. If you find any, delete those lines and save the file.
To apply the new trigger height, restart the Duet by sending M999 or pressing Emergency Stop.

jay_s_uk

Your trigger height should be a positive value, not a negative value.
Change

G31 P45 X25 Y5 Z-2.90

to

Remove the M307 line entirely. It's not used in RRF3.

And remove the X200 Y220 Z1 from your M558 line, those values are not used there at all.

M208 X50 Y-25 Z0 S ; set axis minima

Does your X axis endstop really trigger when the nozzle is 50mm inside the printable area?

You're S parameter is missing the 1 there as well.

stuartofmt

@n3ovo -- The gcode that I posted a few days ago should pretty much "just work" for you. Given the similarity between your Ender and mine.... Z offset will be different and you are using a different pin but other than that .....

I'm still suspicious of your X axis offset. Can you include a picture taken from the front that shows the nozzle and the probe? It's hard for me to see that 25mm is correct given how most BLTs mount relative the the stock ender hotend. Having said that, anything is possible - but worth double
checking.

Thanks All, I Did my FIRST Print ( I will show Pictures Below ) All your help was just Wonderful to a newcomer. Don't be worried I will have more question .. hope that i can pass on to someone my help like you all did for me.

I think I have fixed all errors in my config.g ( don't yell if i missed some there were a lot!

I know i can do better.but no to bad for the first print.
sending my config.g just to see if i got it all worked out

Congratulations on your first print - doesn't it feel great when that happens !!

A couple of observations.

I think your line for the axis minima may have an error (space between S and 1). I'm not sure if its an error but its not clear if to me how the interpreter will see it. i.e. I believe it needs to be

M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1                              ; set axis minima

Also - Its not clear that you have the correct form for your M557 line. The documentation is a little vague - but it does suggest the form you have is deprecated. Does your bed leveling actually happen ? The new form is to just define the bed limits and the probe interval.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M557_Set_Z_probe_point_or_define_probing_grid

Good luck moving forward

The M557 command he has in there is perfectly fine.

It looks pretty good for a first print!

Now that you have everything functional it's time to do some calibration. Mainly the extruder and all that entails. This guide might help you along.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+4:+Calibration/40

Then you may want to look into tuning pressure advance once the extruder is calibrated.

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

After that it's all a matter of learning the slicer settings.

Just When you though it was SAFE ... More Problems... Printer is working .. Started tuning the printer and i seem to have a problem. It is only printing on one side of the bed. I tried to print a case for the i7 screen .. I know i am jumping the gun. I wanted to protect the Screen.

Anyway here is a Picture Only the Right Half:

As you can see it prints right up to the X limit Switch hits and the closes of the BOX .....

Any thoughts Would help .. I know it is something that i have done Just don't know

Test manually

i assume from your config that the bed is 300x300

issue G0 X0 Y0

see that the head moves to one edge of the bed

then issue G0 X300 Y300 and see if its moves to the opposite side of the bed

Remove those lines from your cura start gcode. Also make sure that you have reprap gcode flavor selected.

It seems like your axis minima maxima is not quite right.

0,0 should be the front left corner of the bed. If the nozzle can go further to the left or front than that, the minima would then be negative.

Just checked accordance on the printer If I type 0 0 it's up in the front left hand corner If I type 300 300 it's in the back right hand corner It goes to the center at 15150 I can hit any part of the bed and with a tape measure as close as I can possibly get it's right on the money So why is the program Why when I print does it go crooked It looks like when I print it it only thinks it has half a bed but only half on x why seems okay

"Origin at center" in cura(or some other slicer You are using) machine settings perhaps ?

Or....

G10 P0 X45 Y0 Z0

Why Do You have tool offset 45mm for X axis ??

bingo!

@Veti yes it moves just what it should

thanks

Ok i removed all the Commands from cura. did not help ,, cant find out why, I started and old laptop with cura with the same out come and this ran before with no problem. Yes i changed it to RepRap did not help ... told cura to print in the centre of bed, Still no good same outcome ...

went tonight and got PrusaSlicer ran the same g-code that i have been trying and no good // still printer off one side???

I am thinking i have a bad update to the ROM/Web
2 things someone let me know i am running 3.1.1 but i have It seems A Log more in there and i needed. Here is a list of files i have in the 0/sys/ folder?

duet3d_FTP_2020-09-08 03-03-07.png

And What files do i need to Download, I am i little confused of what to download to make sure i have a good copy!

Thanks John G.

@Phaedrux

The reason for the BIG number we still playing around and i just keep it there till o get around to getting the HOLE bed to print from .. my still big problem is that it is still only printing on the left side

thanks John G

@n3ovo your first tool should have no XYZ offset. Everything else is referenced from the first tool. You’re not going to be able to print to the whole bed with that offset. Set it to zero.

Download it all.

No you don't want cura to use a center origin. "Origin at center" should be unchecked.

Your problem is the tool offset of X45, unless you have a specific reason for that?
