1.18 RC1 Bed levelling

dc42

The web interface issue is known and fixed in the release that chrishamm has under development.

There isn't a way of saving the results of 4-point probing, but you can use 4-point mesh levelling instead.

Thanks again, I'll give it a try.

Hi DC42, struggling with four point mesh, I cant seem to figure out what to put in the M557 command to get it to go to the corners of the bed. I have a 28X 28Y offset to the probe and a 200x200 bed

If I try
M557 X0:160 Y0:160 S159 it tries then comes back with not enough points error

dc42

If the probe offset is +28X and +28Y then the point 0,0 is not accessible to the probe unless the nozzle can move to -28X -28Y. So try probing from about 30 to 190 instead of 0 to 160.

Sorted, thanks for your help, settled on
M557 X40:190 Y20:170 S150

Question,

I was trying to set the bed mesh manually, i changed the points in the CSV. then saved it, then i set a M375.

but from what i could tell nothing changed.

I'm i doing this correctly? or is there another step?

Thanks!

That should work, but use the 1.18 release of at least 1.18RC2. There was a bug in earlier versions when loading large height maps files.

ok, Ii will give it a go when I have troubles again, Thanks!

Hi DC42, just found an oddity, for a laugh I did mesh levelling with:
M557 X52:204 Y20:170 S12.5

I then printed 4 x 10mm square 1mm high at the edges of the plate, each of the squares had each layer in the Y direction slipped by about 0.2mm

Odd?

Is it reproducible? If so, feel free to remind me about this about a week from now, when I should have time to look into it.
