Mesh Levelling and negative homing probe offset question?
-
I have a 200mm x 200mm bed, y homing switch is at 0, but due to the design of the machine (Reach 3D cartesian), the x homing switch is offset, at -32.
I set my axis minima as follows
M208 X-32 Y0 Z0 S1 ; Set axis minima
But when I try and go the mesh levelling with the following, it starts at X = -27 instead x = 5
M557 X5:185 Y05:185 S17
Should the mesh g code use co-ordinates relative to where 0,0 is, rather than co-ordinates that are relative to the x homing switch
-
Yes it should use coordinates relative to 0,0. The coordinates probed will be those of the Z probe, not the nozzle. Do you have a Z probe X offset configured in your G31 command?
-
Yes My z probe offset as well, by around -8 on the Y axis, and +30 on the X axis (my printer isn't on at the moment but those are in the right ballpark)
The layout is a bit like this (sorry about the ascii art)
[Y Maximum Travel Y=210]
[Bed Top Left Corner] –-------------------------[Bed Top Right Corner]
[X=0,Y=190] [ X= 190, Y-190]
| Bed |
| | [X Maximum Travel X= 210]
[X endstop] [ Nozzle ]–------------------------------------ [ Bed Bottom Right Corner] [Y endstop X=210, Y = 0]
[X=-32,Y=0] [X=0,Y=0 ] [ Z probe] [ X=190, Y = 0]
[X+30,Y-8] -
If your Z probe X offset is +30mm and you tell it to start probing at X=5mm, it has to place the nozzle at X=-25mm to position the probe there.

Ah I see, Must have been having a bain fart. thank you for your help.
