Correction of heightmap is not really working

Sculpt Fabricator

So another question. Modix had a Macro -
Automatic tilt calibration + Bed Compensation - 101 points

That Macro has all changed now with your code correct ?

So how do I run the bed tilt calibration
and the bed probe calibration ?

I am confused on it I wipe those clean and add a M98 P"bed.g"
and run it trough the macro
or just type that into the console comand ?

@sculpt-fabricator

The current approach that the DWC expects is this:

the file mesh.g is used to create the height map needed for Mesh Bed Compensation.
the file bed.g is used for Manual or Automatic Bed Leveling.

A G29 command executes mesh.g and creates the height map.

To use the height map you would have a G29 S1 command somewhere in your print start code.

A G32 command executes bed.g.

I use G32 as part of my home all code.

So it looks like you are already using the correct approach.

See if this bed.g file works for you:

bed.g

@fcwilt
Thank you very very much, I will give it a try

Sculpt Fabricator

@fcwilt
I got this -

Does that command need a ; in front of it ?

fcwilt

@sculpt-fabricator

Sorry there is a missing comment in front of that line.

It should be this:

; --- set Z=0 datum which can be affected by leveling ---
 
G1 X270 Y270 ; move probe to center of bed - set values aaa and bbb as appropriate
G30          ; do single probe which sets Z to trigger height of Z probe

Sculpt Fabricator

@fcwilt
Ok now I cant get the bed tilt leveling right.
I am not understanding the placement of z screws

bed.g M671 , needs to match the config.g M671 correct ??

 M671 X-189:640:640:-189 Y643:643:-64:-64 S10                        Anticlockwise

why does it say anticlockwise
In my bed.g it says to run the probe pattern -

 ; run leveling pass
 
  G30 P0 X5 Y5 Z-99999      ; probe near a leadscrew
  G30 P1 X570 Y5 Z-99999     ; probe near a leadscrew 
  G30 P2 X570   Y580   Z-99999     ; probe near a leadscrew
  G30 P3 X5   Y580   Z-99999 S4  ; probe near a leadscrew and calibrate 4 motors

But that is running from the left rear , clockwise

But when it runs the Tilt calibration, it starts at the front left and go's to the front right, and so on, Anticlockwise.

In the Gcode Directory it examples M671 going clockwise

I am stumped !!

Sculpt Fabricator

@fcwilt
also If I skip the tilt calibration and go to Bed compensation,
I can strategically place a high spot under one of the probe points.
and it shows me that the map is 90 deg out.
to correct it, it would have to turn 90 deg Anticlockwise.

if that helps

fcwilt

@sculpt-fabricator

Since we are putting everything related to bed leveling in bed.g there should not be a M671 command in config.g.

I don't know why it says "anticlockwise" - I did not put that there.

As I recall what does need to match up is the order of the Z steppers in the M584 command and the order of the positions specified in the M671 command.

I also have the G30 commands probe the bed in the order specified in the M671 command though I don't know if that is a requirement.

But my bed leveling works so it doesn't hurt to keep everything in the same order, even if it is not required.

The height map is not related to anything being done in bed leveling.

@fcwilt

Ok so still having some problems
We are following these instructions for setting the Z=0 datum

We run the Z offset macro that you made to move to the center of the bed
and probe to set the config_probe.g G31 Z

We got a reading of 1.752

So we changed that in the Config.probe.g
(do we need to change it anywhere else ? for example mesh.g
? global_mesh_g in config.g file ? )

Then we run your probe in center of be code - With a added Z0

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  Z0

It should be at the same 1.752 but it is not. Its further away from the
bed than that by .40

so we go back and add that .40 to the 1.752 = 2.152 in the config.probe.g

it didn't work. we are still further away.

its not saving it for some reason.

@sculpt-fabricator

Where are you executing the G30 at the center of the bed to set the Z=0 Datum?

Frederick

Sculpt Fabricator

@fcwilt
Yes, that is where we are executing it from, the center of the bed.

fcwilt

@sculpt-fabricator said in Correction of heightmap is not really working:

@fcwilt
Yes, that is where we are executing it from, the center of the bed.

Sorry I wasn't clear. In your post I didn't see you mention that you were executing a G30.

When are you doing that?

In what bit of code are you doing that?

We are running the z-offset calibration with the G30 in it

@sculpt-fabricator

OK I see now.

A few things to mention:

For the other person I had shown how to use a variable to set the G31 Z Trigger Height setting. You have created the variable but I don't see that you are using it in config_probe.g.
Using the variable is optional. If you are not going to use it in config_probe.g then you can remove any other code referencing the variable.
You mention using the formula to move to the center of the bed with Z0 added. But you show it after the F parameter without a comma separating from the F parameter. I don't believe it actual does anything without the comma. What was the intent of executing this command?
Anytime you change anything in your config_probe.g file you need to be sure it is executed before you attempt to use the new setting(s) in the file.

So I don't switch out build plates, Just run a lot of the same material.
I know he wanted that extra part to change out plates.
So how do I need to change that.

@sculpt-fabricator

You don't need to use the variable I all. I don't use one. I just have the constant value for the Z Trigger Height parameter in my config_probe.g file.

If you want to use the variable then make the change you show to your config_probe.g file.
