RRF3.2Beta4.1 Heightmap vs. Spindle/Driver Mapping

3dML

@Frederik The different Heightmaps is because your Leadscrew deviation is not 0 before you generate the Heightmap.

Frederik

@Phaedrux one moment. I probing single spots and checking the values before and after the z probe code change

Frederik

@3dML I delete the Heightmap and compensation bevor generating a new mesh.

Is that wrong?

And after startup only a g32 - 3 point level +loading of Heightmap.csv (bed.g)

Frederik

@3dML the showed Heightmap was generated at room temperature. To have a baseline when starting test at different standard bed temperatures. Like 60, 90, 100 etc

How Lo g would you give the bed before starting the measurements, so that the temp is as evenly as possible

3dML

If you run the 3point calibration multiple time it should return a smaller deviation each time hence the reason I use a while loop and an if statement to check the deviation value. It will continue to run until it passes the tolerance set by the if statement.

You could put this code in a macro and run it multiple time to see how small you can get the deviation.

If you can do a 3point calibration the a deviation of 0 or as close as you can get it you should not have to generate a new Heightmap every time you do a 3point calibration.

The time to temp all depends on your setup.

I have a 750w heater that covers the entire 300mm bed with a temp sensor to control the heat in a slot cutout of the magnet for the flex sheet so very close to the top of the bed. I also have a temp sensor on the heater pad itself so once they both stabilize its good to go. If you are only measuring temp at the heater pad it will take a while for the top of the bed to reach an even temp unless the bed is very thin.

What was the max Z speed for this test? The last 4 readings look good. Too high of a Z speed can cause the shift between the second and third reading.

Frederik

@3dML Z Probing speed F60 normal in the RRF config tool was F120

Yes that is used for Z- speed when probing but M203 sets the max speed which is used for Z+. Too high of max speed will cause higher deviations when probing but not enough to notice when printing.

I have found that slowing down the maximum Z speed can help with tolerance. Try adding a M203 Z100 before any bed probing moves and M203 Z1000 after the bed probing is finished to restore the speed back to your config settings. You may be able to push the speed a little higher Z100.

Frederik

@3dML its probing with 1mm/s. is that slow enough ?

@Frederik
Yes if multiple G30 S-1 in the same spot return a very small variation these results mean the config is not correct.

If this is your only G31 this may be your problem. I just notice you have no X or Y offset for your BLTouch.

G31 P1000 X0 Y0 Z0.81

Frederik

@3dML is the offset measured from the nozzle or always from x0 y0 ?

3dML

@Frederik
G31 is the probe offset from the nozzle. If you position the nozzle at x0 y0 the G31 offset would be the position of the BLTouch.

Frederik

@3dML when my printhead is homed at x0 y0 (left front corner) the bltouch is around x-3 y-2
the nozzle x35 y8

this is are the values for another test with 4:4 Probing Points

Post the files you use for homing. The DWC tool position should report the exact position of the nozzle.

@Phaedrux said in RRF3.2Beta4.1 Heightmap vs. Spindle/Driver Mapping:

M671 defines the position of the lead screws
The order must match the order of the motors defined in M584
In bed.g you probe as close to the lead screws as you can in the same order as the lead screws are defined.

Have you verified these settings are correct and the motors are positioned in the same order in the M671 as in the M584?

Frederik

@3dML

I added your if loop to a makro. Works almost perfekt.
Would it be possible that the measured values are displayed as message or in the console after each move? I stopped the makro after around 10min without knowing if the values are decreasing or what's happening

I checked the limits bevor and it's running.

I also tested several mesh sizes, the resulting height maps are above.

I think, these values are reasonable to some point, I sliced a X from center of the bed 350mm to the 4 corners with a 50x50 rectangular pattern 150mm from the center.

I increased the z trigger height to 1.81mm for safety and started a really slow test pattern. Today after Work I will verify it with a good old magnetic base + digital indicator on different spots along the gantry + x and y along he bed corners. Perhaps I can shim it, modifie the mounts or something else

Frederik

@Phaedrux
@3dML
left spindle is connected to 0.2
back center to 0.3
front right to 0.4

the wiring from the specified drivers to the spindles is correct
i map the Z steppers: Z02:03:04 - that should be ok

Can you show an image marked up with where the motors driven by the 02,03,04 drivers are positioned?
