1.19+1 Z offset issues

lolorc

Hi,

I've just been upgrading from 1.18 and I can't get my duet wifi running 1.19+1 to use the Z probe offset from the G31 commands in both config and config-override.
The only way to have the correct Z offset is to use the z baby stepping.

G31 T1 does report the Z offset I have configured.
I need to 5 z baby steps (up) to get a proper first layer, so I have added the 0.25mm to my G31 but I still get bad first layer and I still need 5 steps to get a correct one.
I have also tried with G31 Z10 … and i still need the baby steps.

There's something I don't really get here, what am I missing ?

here are my configs:

I have a similar problem trying to apply a negative offset for the smart effector probe

Dougal1957

1 are you loading the config override back in each time with a M501 if not then any change you make is not being remembered try putting the G31 Z0.15 at the end of your Config.g |(with the other parameters) so something like

G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z0.15

then adjust the Z Value in the Config.g to suit your own circumstances (I have assumed the Smart effector with that line it may well be different for the OP for the IR Probe the P would be 500 and the Z somewhat larger and you need to find the difference in hight of the nozzle and the probe trigger.

Hi,
I have updated my post with the complete config.g, i'm using M501.
anyway, both config.g and config-override.g contain the same G31 settings, and I still need the baby steps…

lolorc

tried again and again with Z16.6 in both config files, still need 5 baby steps up to get a proper 1st layer.

Dougal1957

OK so your G31 is telling the firmware that the nozzle 1.66 mm above the bed when the probe triggers and you nee to babystep up 5 to get a good first layer so set the Z param in your G31 to 1.41 this should lift your Z0 by 0.25 mm or 5 babysteps.

HTH

lolorc

whether I substract or add the .25mm to the Z offset in my G31 I still have to use 0.25mm of baby stepping !
(also tried to add/substract 1mm to make sure I could see a difference, there's none)
that's doing my head in
I guess I'll end-up adding the baby steps with M290 in my config until someone comes up with a way to help me diagnostic/solve this issue.

Dougal1957

But your M501 is overwriting it you need to clear out the G31 parts of the Config-Overide file or clear totally by either deleting it entirely or running M502. Make sure you copy any M665 M666 and M307 lines into your Config.g First

lolorc

M501 in config, I'm changing the G31 in the override.
or I do the G31 in console and then M500.
and then I check with G31 T1

I've just edited my previous post, I guess I'll end-up adding the baby steps with M290 in my config until someone comes up with a way to help me diagnostic/solve this issue.
