Mini 5+ with 2+plus newbie custom config look over (dual Z)
-
I’m about to start testings my Mini 5+ with the addon 2+ Plus module. Currently the configtool does not list the plus 2 module.
If someone could give this a quick look over to see if I missed any thing or did wrong. I moved the motors around so that the X and Y would not be under the 2+ addon. I placed extrudes in these spots.
Mini 5+ with the 2+ plus addon (total 7)
CoreXY
bltouch
Dual Z (3 to 1 belt reduction on 0.9 motor)
X and Y 0.9 motors
3 extruders
24v
7” PanelDue
110v Hot bed
X and Y endstopsDo I still need endstops for each Z motors or just use Bl touch?
Thanks!

@gallaghersart you can use the BLTouch on its own (I do this and done have any z stops on my machine). Some people put a zmax endstop so they can home even with a print still in place (e.g. After a power failure) but I've personally never seen the need...
Having said that, you will need to make sure your homing files are set up to home z using the z probe (e.g. using a G30 command). If you're not sure, post them here and we can take a look. Same for your bed.g file if/when you're setting up auto bed levelling.
A couple of other things to note.
You have haven't set your z probe x/y offsets in your G31 command. This can make a bit of a difference when doing bed levelling with your dual z, or mesh compensation.
You only have one tool defined and it is only using the first extruder drive. Not sure what your setup is with three extruder drives (three drives on one tool, a mixing hotend, a multi nozzle etc), but you'll probably need to add those in
There may be other minor things but nothing stands out.

@engikeneer said in Mini 5+ with 2+plus newbie custom config look over (dual Z):
Thanks, will me mixing hotend but just one for now. I enclosed below my most current version of files. And after making some fixes and double checking my wiring these are my issues.
- So far the bltouch only goes to one location then stops so I need the fix my mesh?
- Hot end fan is on all the time
- Nozzle heater and temp are not showing up as an option, bed is ok all around. I have nozzle temp but no heater
Thanks!

@gallaghersart Nothing obvious jumps out as an error in you config, though it does seem you are missing your Tool assignments section (with M563) in - could just be cut off in the copy-paste?
Probably worth running `` `M98 P"config.g" ``` and checking the response in the console. This basically runs your config.g again as a macro and so will flag any commands/errors.
When it fails to complete the probing, what steps are you taking and do you get a response back with any error/info? Is this when homing, or when trying to run mesh compensation?
A couple of other thoughts related to this:
- Your probing point for z-homing in homez.g and homeall.g are different, though they really should be the same
- You may wish to add M561 to both your homeall and homez files so that any mesh comp applied is removed during probing
- you are using bed.g (called via G32) to complete G29 mesh compensation. Typically, bed.g would contain the commands for auto/manual-bed-leveling and mesh compensation would be separate. There is a mesh.g file which is called (if present) when you run G29:
From the docs https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/G29
If G29 is commanded with no S parameter, then file sys/mesh.g is run if it exists, and in RRF 3.3 and later any parameters present are passed to mesh.g. If sys/mesh.g is not present then the command behaves like G29 S0.
If you've not read through them, there are a couple of good guides on the wiki:

@engikeneer Thanks for you help, I had already viewed those links but just now fully understanding them. thanks for tool info, heaters back and working. all working now just tuning.
thanks!
