Correction of heightmap is not really working

@fcwilt ok
so i need only one macro to set the z, correct?

If the value for each buildplate is constant you can eliminate editing of the probe_config.g file by using a global variable to hold the G31 Z Trigger Height value.
Then you can have one macro for each buildplate to set the variable to the correct value for that buildplate.
How does that sound?

@fcwilt Yes that would be prefect

@icy_snake could you write that for me, please?

OK I will code that.
In the meantime here is the macro for measuring the Z probe trigger height - if you ever need it.
M300 S666 P666 ; beeo M291 S3 R"Test Z Probe Trigger Height" P"Press OK to continue, or CANCEL to abort" G28 ; home all G29 S2 ; cancel mesh bed compensation M290 R0 S0 ; cancel baby stepping G90 ; absolute movements ; this complicated looking command computes the X and Y parameters needed to move the probe to the center of the bed G1 X{((move.axes[0].max + move.axes[0].min) / 2) - sensors.probes[0].offsets[0]}, Y{((move.axes[1].max + move.axes[1].min) / 2) - sensors.probes[0].offsets[1]}, F1800 M300 S1111 P666 ; beep M564 H1 S0 ; ignore axis limits M291 S2 R"Test Z Probe Trigger Height - Step 1" P"Place a paper sheet under the nozzle and raise the bed until slight friction can be noticed" Z1 ; G92 Z0 ; the nozzle should now be just touching the bed so set the logical Z position to match the physical Z position M300 S666 P666 ; beep M291 S2 R"Test Z Probe Trigger Height - Step 2" P"Please remove the paper sheet and wait for the bed-probing to begin" ; G1 Z5 F200 ; insure Z position will allow for probing G30 S-1 ; probe the bed and report the Z probe trigger height M564 S1 H1 ; respect axis limits M291 S2 R"Test Z Probe Trigger Height - Step 3" P"Copy the reported height value on the G-Code console and paste it into the probe_config.g file"

Add this near the start of your config.g:
global g_probe_z_trigger = 1.8 ; default - set as appropriate for the Z probe
Just for reference this is what the start of my config.g file showing the section where I set all my global variables:
; **************************************************************************************************** ; prologue ; **************************************************************************************************** M111 S0 ; debug off M550 P"MF1" ; machine name ;M551 P"xxxxxx" ; machine password M555 P2 ; set output to look like Marlin M575 P0 B57600 S2 ; communication parameters for USB serial M575 P1 B115200 S1 ; communication parameters for PanelDue M552 S1 ; enable (S1) networking (WiFi) M586 S1 P1 ;T0 ; enable (S1) FTP (P1) Disable TLS (T0) M586 S1 P2 ;T0 ; enable (S1) Telnet (P2) Disable TLS (T0) G21 ; dimensions in mm G90 ; for X,Y,Z use absolute coordinate values M83 ; for E0,E1,etc use relative coordinate values ; **************************************************************************************************** ; mode control variables ; **************************************************************************************************** global g_z_home = 5 ; can be used to always move Z to known height global g_z_datum_set = false ; can be used to prevent unneeded setting of Z=0 datum global g_map_mode = "300 point" ; determines which kind of height map is created/loaded global g_probe_mode = "two consecutive" ; determines if z proving used consecutive or averaging global g_level_mode = "3 point" ; determines if 3 or 4 points are used for leveling global g_print_beg_prime = 10 ; default - set desired in filament config.g global g_print_beg_retract = 0 ; default - set desired in filament config.g global g_print_end_retract = 0 ; default - set desired in filament config.g global g_print_end_mode = "heat off" ; determines if heaters are turned off when print is done global g_probe_z_trigger = 1.8 ; default - set as appropriate for the Z probe
In your probe_config.g file update your G31 command to replace the value after the Z parameter with the variable reference shown below:
G31 P25 X0 Y24.5 Z{global.g_probe_z_trigger} ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height (larger value is closer)
Create the macros to set the global variable to the needed values. Name them as you desire. Here is an example:
set global.g_probe_z_trigger = 1.8 ; set the variable M98 P"probe_config.g" ; configure the probe using the new value ; I put this G31 here just to show the current settings - it is optional ; You can provide visual feedback some other way, say, using an M291 command G31

@fcwilt Whowww, many thanks Frederick,
perfect support, you helped me alot, thanks again.
I´m often in the USA for business. Maybe there will be a day that we could have some drinks.
Best Regards

@icy_snake I´m already home today, here it´s evening.
I will add tomorrow the new code. I let you know if i could get it running.
Good evening

DieterThat would be grand but I am located in South West Virginia. The closet city is Roanoke to give you a reference.

The trigger height for the BLTouch should stay the same between different build plates since it physically touches the build plate and the offset between the bltouch trigger point and the nozzle remains constant. That's one of the main benefits of a BLTouch.

@fcwilt hahah yes it was and it is and will be in the future.
thx all for the perfect help here.

Morning.
Once you have verified that everything we have done on so far is working we can move on to the last piece of the puzzle - your "start" code - the code that is executed at the start of a print to get everything set as needed for a successful print.

@fcwilt Good morning frederick,
here is my start gcode in ideamaker.
It works, need to do anything after i hit the start button:
<G28 ; Home M566 E3000 ; max speed change M572 D0 S0.07 ; pressure calibration value 0.01 bis 0.12 G92 E0 ; Reset the extruder G0 Z20 ; Z down bei 20 G0 X0 Y0 F6000 ; Go to left front G92 E0 G1 E50 F350 ; Extrude 50mm speed 350,time to clean head G92 E0 G0 X100 Y10 F9000 ; Move quickly to X100 Y10, cut the string automaticly G0 Z0.3 ; Lower Z to 0.3 G1 F1000 X200 E3 ; print line to x200 speed 1000 G92 E0 G1 F800 E-0.3 ; retract -0.3mm M117 Printing..the..new..model.>
Here is my End Gcode:
<G1 F800 E-1.0 ;retract filament 1.0mm to prevent oozing M104 S0 T0 ; turn off hotend 1 M104 S0 t1 ; turn off hotend 1 G90 ; use absolute coordinates G28 X0 Y0 ; Move to Home without Z M221 D0 S100 ; extrusion Factor back to 100 M106 S0 T0 ; turn off fan 1 M106 S0 T1 ; turn off fan 2 M84 ; Switch off all Motors M117 Ready..with..the..new..model--have fun!>
Let me know what you think.

I gather most of that code is for priming the extruder?
I don't see any code to:
- set heater temp
- set bed temp
- load height map
Where is that being done?
Frederick
-
@fcwilt Ok thats what you mean
heater temp i set i my ideamaker
bed temp i ned to set manually at an extra hardware, cannot be set via software
load heightmap i do not know to load it before printing??
G29 S1
do i need to reload always the heightmap before printing?
Dieter

@icy_snake Load the heightmap after the G28. You do have to load the heightmap.
Basic example, this runs the mesh everytime:
G28
G29 ; add S1 just to load the current oneI use this mesh.g , it makes the heightmap if it doesn't exist and makes sure the printer has been homed before the G29 S0, just call it with G29.
M561 ; clear any bed transform G29 S1 ; load heightmap.csv if result > 1 ; make if it doesn't exist if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed ; check if homed G28 G29 S0 ; create heightmap.csv

Where does the heater temp setting code appear? Is what you posted code generated by IdeaMaker?
As to the height map remember you need to do the following to load it correctly. I load it in my start code.
G1 Xaaa Ybbb ; where aaa and bbb put the probe at the center of the bed G30 ; probe the bed to set the Z=0 Datum G29 S1 ; load the height map
You may recall that in the mesh.g file the Z=0 datum is also set before creating the height map.
