@Snippy said in Z wont go to the corect dept when printing.:

is 4.054 mm the nozzle height?

Yes.

G31 P500 X45 Y0 Z4.054 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

Yes, put it in the G31 Z parameter.

Your instructions are missing a couple of steps at the end, where it explains how to put the Z offset in G31. Where did you get them from? Proper instructions here https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_testing#calibrate-the-z-probe-trigger-height

Warning: the height map has a substantial Z offset. Suggest use Z-probe to establish Z=0 datum, then re-probe the mesh.

Got this far again, No matter where i try to establish the Z=0 datum allways the same error.
What i can tell from this height map that it is the most accurate so far.
Still the height map does ''jack shit'' when it comes to printing, nozzle wont go Z- It can only go Z+.
Why???

@Snippy

G1 Z-1.97 F50 ; Nozzle Z0 Y200 X160
G92 Z0
G1 Z5
G30 S-1

Why are you doing the G92 Z0 - that is quite likely going to mess things up entirely.

Before you can use mesh compensation you first have to insure your Z probe is correct configured so that setting the Z**=0 Datum**, using G30, gives the correct result.

After doing a G30 (usually at the center of the bed) you can then, using the DWC, "nudge" the bed toward the nozzle of the hotend. When the bed just touches the top of the nozzle the DWC should report the Z position as 0 (zero).

If it does not you need to adjust the Z trigger height of your Z probe configuration until you do get Z=0 when the bed just touches the nozzle.

It will like take several attempts to find the exact value you need for your Z probe.

Once the Z probe is working then and only then can you create an accurate height map. You must always use G30 to set the Z=0 Datum BEFORE using G29 to create the height map or when loading the height map.

This is why

My problem is that after get a height map from G29 the map does nothing to compensate when printing, Z does not moove in -Z only in Z+.

OK - so the bed was just touching the nozzle at that point when you set Z=0?

Well how it should move would depend on the height map values and the height map value nearest to where the Z=0 Datum was set.

If the Z=0 Datum happened to be set equal to the lowest point of the mesh then movement would only be in Z+, as all of the other points, being higher, would need to be lowered.

@fcwilt Z datum was set to the highest part, So in order to print Z should go in the -

@Snippy Can you post your config.g file? Specifically looking for your M208 line based on the following quote:

Edit: Your bed does not look healthy lol.

I assume you have verified that the Z axis moves in the correct direction when controlled from the DWC?

P.S. Just out of curiosity what is the bed made from? It seems to have quite a bit of curve.

Here is the height map from one of my better printers. I had the bed created by a local machinist and it is very flat. Even came with a certificate.
