Tevo Little Monster calibration issues with RRF 3.1.1
-
Hi everyone. I own a Tevo Little Monster which I have upgraded with Duet2 WiFi, magnetic rods and Smart Effector.
I have used the printer for a long time with RRF firmware until the latest one which was 2.05.1 and the printer works perfectly, without any trouble. Then I tried to upgrade to RRF 3.1.1 (doing the needed changes to the config files).
At this point, I started to have troubles with the Z offset, which was always to be calibrated at every startup of the printer, as well as the mesh calibration, which is not working.
Even during the printing process, it's difficult to have a good result, then I have reinstalled the previous one (2.05.1) and everything went back to normal.
Anyone has any idea? -
post your config and overwrite

my first question would be why your endstops are set to the low end of the printer?
surely being a delta you home with the carriages being at the top of the frame? -
Yes, you are right. This is already a mistake but the homing process works correctly anyway.
-
I would also suggest looking at your trigger value. you have P500 but the recommended value for the smart effector is P100

@Sytac072 said in Tevo Little Monster calibration issues with RRF 3.1.1:
G28 ; Home all axes
You probably should not initiate a homeall in your config.g. For one thing, you have it at the start of the config.g before any of the configuration has loaded. Second, having movement start with power on is potentially dangerous.
Did you change the endstops to be at high end?
@Sytac072 said in Tevo Little Monster calibration issues with RRF 3.1.1:
M375 ; Load the grid probing mesh
Also, you should not load the heightmap until after the printer has been homed and the bed probed to establish Z0. This is likely part of the problem with your inconsistent offset.
Are you using G32/bed.g to do a calibration? It should be in your bed.g macro that you home the towers and probe the bed for calibration and only then do a G29 to create or load a heightmap.
