G29 / 3 point bed compensation - always tilted slightly
-
@Veti said in G29 / 3 point bed compensation - always tilted slightly:
i would advise not to have the G32 in the homez, as the G32 invalidates z=0.
while analysing change the 3 point with points close to the leadscrews.
Where would you place G32 then?

in the start g code.
G28
G32
G28 ZSo I tried that, but that gives me a fun offset.
I removed G32 from Homeall and Homez - Then homed all axis from the DWC, and then sent manually G32 and then G28 Z. Then I probed the bed with G29

post your new homez

post your config.g maybe you set your Dive height wrong

are these correct? what stepper motors do you have?

The motors are all E3D high torque motors rated at 1.6A, except the extruder which is a small pancake stepper - current seems okay on it - Will look into the thermistors and change it from M574 Z0 to Z1 S2
EDIT: I got the Z0 from the Gcode page
"The S2 option of M574 is intended for use only when axes other than Z are using the Z probe for homing. The only printers known that do this using Duet electronics are the RepRapPro Ormerod, Huxley Duo, and Mendel Tricolour machines. When using the Z probe to home Z, M574 Z0 should be used." -
so you are running your z steppers with not enought current
set the current to 1200
-
@Veti
Increased the current to 1200 - still gets the large offset
-
that make zero sense.
G28 Z should establish Z=0 using G30.
G29 getting a different offset would mean that the trigger point is different.

Your homeall and homez place the probe at different locations. Make them the same.
-
@Phaedrux Hmm....
That got me thinking - I Use the X30 Y80 because that places the probe not that far from my first lead screw and that saves time since it doesnt have to move when it starts the 3 point leveling - But! since it is not level when it does the first zeroring of Z, will placeing it off center, make the axis it rotates about not centered also? Or since its a plane, it doesnt matter?
But I'll change it when I get home
-
Are you certain that you dont have a dropped corner on one of your axis?
-
You also need to remember there is a huge difference between a surface being level and it being flat...
if it ispossible to use a digital inclinometer you can check the level, first zero the inclinometer to the surface the printer sits on (firstly on the X axis) then carry out 3 point leveling and check how level it is, then zero the inclinometer on the surface on the Y axis orientation and carry out the same 3 point leveling and see what it says. and you will have your answer, which i think might be that your bed it level but not completely flat.
you can also check that your rails are level too.

Im pretty sure non of the corners is dropped - But even if one corner is lower, shouldent the whole system stay "parallel"?
Im wondering if the M561 in my HomeZ.g have anything with the offset to do?
-
@CaLviNx I dont have one of those tools (yet) but the surface of the bed is a cast aluminium plate that is bought with a really flat surface, so Im suprised if its not flat. As I see it in the first picture, it looks like a flat planar that is just tilted, and not bend.
I'm gonna get the offset working again, and then I'll try to place a bit around with the Z-leadscrews placement and see the impact on the leveling.

No not really
