How to enter my own probing point for bed levelling?
-
ok for that see my post

@Veti
Thanks. That I get. But I battle with the formula to get the correct radius.
This is what I have entered in config.g but it only probe 4 points with some errors:
557 X20:200 Y20:200 S90 ; define mesh gridI got this error and don't have a clue on how to interpret it so I can fix it:
Warning: Skipping grid point (200.0, 200.0) because Z probe cannot reach it
6 points probed, min error -0.053, max error 0.175, mean 0.058, deviation 0.083
Height map saved to file heightmap.csvI want the 4 corners to be the ones right above the adjusting knobs.
Thanks.

X-49.
with an offset like that you M557 X minimum needs to be at least 49
so try
M557 X50:200 Y20:200 P3 -
@Veti
Thanks. Will quickly do so. Something, to my experience, that the wiki lacks, is to tell newbies like myself: do we need to take the offset into consideration or not. That may be why I am battling. Will quickly try again and get back to you.
Thanks. -
yes the M557 wiki should have a note on that.

Warning: Skipping grid point (200.0, 20.0) because Z probe cannot reach it
Warning: Skipping grid point (200.0, 110.0) because Z probe cannot reach itAm I correct in saying that P3 tells it to do 3 probes in X & Y?
Thanks again.

ah sorry i got confused by the direction.
try
M557 X10:170 Y20:200 P3Am I correct in saying that P3 tells it to do 3 probes in X & Y?
yes

@Veti thanks.
On X it only went as far as 149.
I get the impression something is very wrong here. In what file do I set the bed size? X, Y & Z "maxima?"Minute or what later ...
Bed maxima was 218. I changed it to 220 and it made 9 probes. Thanks for your help and patience.M29 S? do I use to store the mesh and use it for the next print?
Thanks again. You're a Champ.

G29 S1
loads the last mesh
add tp your slicer start code after G28 -

Y10.5 (The probe is in front of the probe. Should it not also have been a negative number?)
Yes, if 0,0 is in the front left corner and X+ is to the right and X- to the left and Y+ to the back and Y- to the front. Then if the probe i in front, it should have a negative offset.
Create yourself a diagram like this. It can help a lot to visualize the layout.

@Phaedrux thank you so much for the diagram-idea. It is brilliant. Thanks again.

The "mesh" is what you define with M557 and is used to create the height map.
