Calibration and compensation….

Hi,

i have a Tevo Little Monster, a delta printer, modded with Duet Wifi and Mini Ir Sensor. From yesterday y have calibration/Compensation issues, i try to explain:

1- Run Calibration, my [c]bed.g[/c] file:

2- Run [c]Compensation[/c], the line in [c]config.g[/c]:

M557 R120 S20

TLM have a printable diameter of 320 mm, but use R120 why sensor is displaced from center of effector, and runs out of bed…

3- With, this strange results...

And…. until yesterday works fine, with small prints, of 50 mm of diameter. But today i have try a medium/big print, with some parts diameter total aprox 220 mm... and problems.

In the center of bed, think correspond to red zone in compensation diagram, works fine.
But the problems comes, with the nozzle closes to border, think blue zone, and the nozzle is much, 3mm of bed, and in center is ok, paper think.

What i am doing wrong?

I suspect that the effector tilt is varying as it moves in the XY plane. This causes the relative heights of the nozzle and the IR sensor to change, giving inaccurate probing results. You can mount a small circular (bulls eye) spirit level on the effector to show the tilt.

Hi,

today i cant test thigns… but i have retired the steel sheet i used over default bed, for test if is curved, and when try autocalibration, i have this message of Duet: [c]Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move[/c]

Why can be?

dc42

Probably exactly what it says. When you lower the effector, does the red LED on the sensor light up before the nozzle touches the bed? If not then you probably have the sensor mounted too high, or else you are using a transparent bed material with a highly-reflecting surface underneath it.

if i put a layer of Kapton. Will be enough?

Hi,

SOLVED, Config mistake

After search in Tevo Little Monster Facebook Group, i have changed the [c]M665[/c] in [c]config.g[/c], and MUCH BETTER

Before: [c]M665 R160 L360.25 B160 H518.34[/c]

AFTER: –> [c]M665 R157 L397.1073 B175 H518.3 [/c]<–

The results:

Many times the solution to a problem is in the simplest answer

It is possible to change the probe area for a current print?

@parovoZZ:

If you mean the probe area for mesh bed compensation, you can do that by sending a different M557 command before probing with G29.

Hi,

when calibrate…

There is some limit to the test point? In the web http://www.escher3d.com/pages/wizards/wizardbed.php:

Its limited to 16 points?
and
Why 7 factors calibration its not recommened? It is not recommened… why can select?

parovoZZ

How is compensation done? The height of the first layer or bed up/down?
