CoreXZ X-Gantry leveling
-
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to automatically level the X gantry on a CoreXZ (Voron Switchwire)?
Like with a CoreXY with 3 Z motors, for example. -
@gringo Bed plate or the actual gantry? You could make a set of stops on the Y rails at a known distance and run the gantry into them with the current set low so it stalls and skips if that is what you are referring to.. Forget which printer that is done on but seemed to work so figured I'll try it someday on mine if I ever notice it getting out of sync..

@gringo In a normal CoreXY, there's no way to square the X gantry to the Y other than with belt tension. Squaring the Z (ie bed) to the XY plane is done by having multiple adjusters/motors which move the bed plane to match the XY plane.
On a CoreXZ, squaring X to Z is done with belt tension; this equates to having two Z motor to level the gantry on a cartesian machine. Either measure from a reference point on each side, or use a large square, and adjust the tension in the belts until the XZ axes are square.
Squaring the bed plane to X and Z is done in the same way as cartesian bedslinger printers, usually with bed levelling screws. If you have a probe on your machine (you can also do it by hand), you can use RRF's Manual Bed Levelling assistant; see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_manual_levelling
If you are sure the bed is already square to the Z axis, or it doesn't have any adjustment and is assumed to be flat and level, you can level the X gantry to the bed using a two-point Manual Bed Levelling macro. You can't use the automatic bed levelling, because there are no motors to move. Create a macro that measures at each end of the X axis, to provide a manual adjustment, or at least a measurement. Adjust the belt tension and remeasure to confirm that no further adjustment is needed.

Thanks @droftarts so i will use manuel Bed Levelling Assistant.
