Creality CR-10 upgrade
-
So i have fitted new AP and its a lot better. I mean a lot.
David, i have this thing i cant sort out. I print PLA and PETG but it needs different z offset. I want to be able to add that offset to start gcode in slicer. i read the solution you provided with G91 but i would like to have it set no matter layer hight. I tried adding G31 P500 ZXX.X but it did not work. I have created macro with this and then was calling macro file with G98 to no success. Perhaps i am doing something wrong here. -
Probably the easiest way is to use the new absolute babystepping command in firmware 1.21. I expect to release RC1 later this afternoon.
-
How would one set up safety for Z axis so it would back off if the nozzle hits build plate? I had it happen for no reason twice now so i thought it might be good to do before i change to PEI. Thanks
-
Have another request. My bed. Has 1kw heater and i use ups for power outages. Is there a way to initiate power failure mode by a switch or 5v? I found 5V out when on battery power so i could connect relay. But how to set it up using an endstop or something else?
Thanks -
You can initiate a pause using an endstop input a a trigger. See the M580 command in the GCode wiki.
-
The M580 is something "select Roland". I don't even know what that is. Was it a typo and should i just look up pause M25 (M24 to resume) in combination with M581 for external trigger?
-
I am sorry, I misremembered - I meant M581. You can use the T1 trigger number to make the printer pause, without having to set up a trigger macro.
-
So if i put: M581 E1 T1 S1 C1 in config.g, it should suffice to execute <pause>and when power is restored, i would execute <resume>macro or it should still be available on print menu on LCD?
Probably i would want to have T2 to execute macro file as i will need to shutdown all the heaters to prevent UPS drain</resume></pause> -
That all sounds good to me, except that you will also need to restore the heater temperatures in your resume macro.

Regarding build plate. I cant seem to find the difference between Mesh grid compensation (G29) and Auto bed compensation (G32)
When i run G29 and add G29 S1 to my starting gcode, nothing happens but when i run G32 just before a print, i can see Z lead screws move tiny bit when printing a model.
On the wiki it says G32 is obsolete, and better to use G29. But what i am missing here. My bed is quiet level at about ~0.09mm (on G32, probing 5 points).EDIT. probably it does the job. Since G29 grid is multiple points adjustments are not that noticeable.
-
BTW is there a tuning procedure for pt100 sensor? I have done tuning for the bed and now its dead on target but hotend is fluctuating up and down 2.5 degrees
-
exactly the same as you would do the bed I did mine last week when I changed my Heater block and Nozzle to the Copper ones.
-

Is it a regular oscillation of 2.5 degrees, or a random fluctuation?
-
If it is a regular oscillation, try increasing the D parameter in the M307 command for the hot end by about 20% (bearing in mind that if you are using a config-override.g file, it's the one in config-override.g that counts).
-
If it is a random fluctuation, you probably have a poor connection in the PT100 wiring.

You can run M122 and look at "Bed compensation in use" to check whether mesh compensation is active.

Thank you. Will check it out

I am having problems with IR probe. Last night set the probe and all was good, today morning started a print and it was 0.55mm off. I ran mesh bed compensation (G29). I have gcode so use saved bed map in my gcode starting script. I noticed this throughout the build that it is not consistent. I do mesh bed compensation probing with heated bed and nozzle.
One thing i have noticed that my IR probe LED sometimes goes very dim and sometimes goes out. Don't know if that has to do with anything.
Just ran test 3 times and i get a lot of play. Here is single point measured:
1. -1.102
2. -1.080
3. -0.595
That is no good at all -
I'm thinking now, perhaps i should run the test before each print?

You probably have a bad crimp connecting in the +3.3V feed to it.
-
Done some testing as per mesh bed compensation wiki description. Set the Z=0 where paper just touches the nozzle.
save Z G92 Z0. then command nozzle up 5 to 100mm and then G30 S-1. I get these on the same spot with heated bed and heated nozzle at my print temps:
2.475
2.477
2.482
2.480
2.517
2.505
2.500
2.507
2.515
So the variation is 42uM. Is that within tolerances? I never print at 0.05 layer hight -
That's a higher variation than normal. Also it seems to be creeping up. What type of Z axis do you have, what is your Z steps/mm, and what probing speed are you using (F parameter in M558)?
