Nozzle probes off bed.
-
I was thinking of putting together an Excel Spreadsheet and sharing it so it figures out min/max values automatically.
Thank you for your help, by the way!
-
Alright, so the M557 would as far as you want on the low side because your probe offsets are to the low side, and on the high side it would only be able to reach as far as x110 - x60 and Y85 - y12
-
@Damien The easiest way to find the ideal M557 for me in practice is to just jog the print head around so that the probe is where I want it and take those XY coordinates.
-
Ok....I am still so confused!
So I took you suggestion about jogging head around to find what I can work with based on my mods.
As a result, my min/Max axis has changed.
Below is my config. What calculations should I use to figure out how to define the grid again?
Thank so much in advance!!

Maybe it would help if you created a diagram of your bed like this one.
By the way, 60mm in the x direction is quite a bit. Is that really the closest you can get the probe to the nozzle?
-
Thank you for this. I'll fill in and see if it helps. I'll post image if I still can't work it out.
In the meantime, here are some pics of my setup. With the Induction sensor I have, this is the closest I could get it...
-
Ok, here it is....What do you think?
-
@Phaedrux When I input the ranges of the green the probe still goes over the edge. Any pointers?
-
What's the coordinate of the nozzle that keeps your probe on the bed?
-
@Phaedrux all the coordinates you see in the green are ones where the sensor stays over the bed. But, so some reason when I put my M557 x-110:55 Y-110:82 S10 other first probe starts at x-50 y-98. 🤨
Then it proceeds to keep probing until off the bed on the x axis, which I then have to emergency kill it.
-
Ok, I just tried adding the probe offset on one side of the green coordinates and minus’’Ed on the other and that seems to have done the trick.
So my coordinates for M557 is now X-170:-5 Y-122:94. Probing is perfect now.
-
@Phaedrux Before I continue, I wanted to say a big thank you for your help before! It's good to have people like you helping us all make the most out of our printers.
After all of the above, I have decided to make my origin back to its original place in the corner. I've decided this because I am not getting a good consistent squish across the various spots on my bed. Plus, I am not confident that the mesh on my bed that I got is correct. (See below)
I'm just about to redo my trigger height, but I have a question. In the guide(https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe), it calls for you to bring your nozzle to the center of the bed and do the paper test. Afterward, it asks you to begin your trigger height routine. BUT, here is my question...
Seeing as my probe offset is so far, isn't it a better idea to bring the probe over the same spot I did the paper check to make sure I have a consistent base height? Or, does the programming for the G29 somehow compensate for this?
Thanks in advance!
