@Phaedrux nope, it is version 2 the other one.

@droftarts @Phaedrux

Fiddling around for two days, changing all parameters as per your saying did nothing.

Swapped the BL-touch with one from my other printer did the job! The one having the issues operating flawlessly on the other printer...go figure.

Thanks for all advices!

@droftarts said in BL-touch trigger height inconsistent:

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M558_Set_Z_probe_type

From what you say I get the point that this applies to bed compensation G29, am I right?

The issue that I am having is whilst trying to set the trigger height using a steady point and G30 S-1 command. Is it also applicable to this?

Hi all,

I just installed my BL-touch version 3 and trying to set the trigger height. Following the routine:

1. Make sure there is no filament stuck to the nozzle (you may want to do this test with the nozzle hot)

2. Cancel any existing bed compensation by sending M561

3. Send M208 S1 Z-3 to temporarily allow Z moves down to Z=-3mm. This is to ensure that you can lower the nozzle all the way to the bed in step 5.

4. Command the print head to the XY coordinates you want to probe

5. Command the print head down in small steps until the nozzle just touches the bed or just grips a sheet of paper. You may need to send M564 S0 to allow movement lower than where the firmware thinks Z=0 is. You may also wish to create a macro to lower the head by e.g. 0.02mm to get greater accuracy (G91 followed by G1 Z-0.02).

6. Send G92 Z0 to define that height as Z=0

7. Command the nozzle up 5mm (G1 Z5)

8. Send G30 S-1 to probe the bed without resetting the Z=0 position

9. Read off the Z height from the web interface. That is the trigger height.

10. Repeat the previous two steps a couple of times to make sure you are getting a consistent result

11. Repeat steps 4-10 for the other XY positions you want to check

When you have established what the trigger height is, set the Z parameter og the G31 command in config.g to that value.

At step 7 and 8 I am getting inconsistent results as the screenshot showing. The results increasing gradually.

Here is my config.g

Only bed heater is running during the procedure.

First layer is never right. Using babystepping, needs anything from -0.2 to +0.2.

Any thoughts what could be wrong? Thanks!

I'm running two duets with no issues on the same network. I did nothing during setup, ip was set up automatically.

@phaedrux No I haven't but I'll give it a go.

The thing is that the browser lags after that and the safari just consumes all my RAM so I was thinking maybe a bug on web interface or something just because I didn't have anything similar before updating to rc6 and 1.22.5.

Hi,

After the latest update to RC6 and web interface 1.22.5 I am getting this error every time I leave the page open for more than 10-15 mins.

Fully updated MacOS

Also sometimes I click on a gcode to start printing, I click on the confirmation message but it does nothing, like I never selected it. I have to do an emergency stop and click on the gcode once again to get it going.

Thanks!

Thanks for your input, I managed to get it working just by adding M400 in-between x and y homing so it would finish x first and then start y.

It seems weird because everything is the same on both axis as per speed, sensitivity, H but it will not home simultaneously both of them.

Anyway, thanks again! You can lock the thread.

Found an other post of yours about changing the H parameter on M915 and I managed to get them staling ,when previously they where grinding without stopping, but I'm really far away from a proper homing.

The actual problem is described on the title.

The "run out of luck" means that I tried everything without positive effect aka the sensorless homing isn't working.

Hi,

I just installed a duet on my Anet A8 and I'm trying to configure sensorless homing/stall detection but I just run out of luck.

My second printer is a Hypercube 500^3 which is working flawless without sensors so I went through the same steps and also copied some of the settings over to anet but it is doing nothing.

Latest firmware RC4, all motors standard anet motors. I tried reducing the torque of the motors all the way down to 20% where I got a "motor phase error" and even tried sensitivity -60.

Thanks!

@phaedrux Currently running on 24v but only 700mA. I have to do something cooling the duet before going higher on current.

Motor specs:
NEMA 17
0.9° Step Angle.
400 Steps Per Revolution.
2.8V Rated Voltage.
1.68A Phase.
4.4kg/cm (61oz/in) Holding Torque.

Running a full metal e3d with 0.4 nozzle only because I don't won't to sacrifice quality. It is not just minimising printing time but finding the actual limit of the hardware+software and go past it by improving it. I don't know in which way but I will definitely will.

Thanks for the reference links!

@RCarlyle thanks for the advice!

Hey all,

I've been reading and thinking a lot trying to find bottom line of what is the thing that limits printing speed.

I know all about mass, inertia and so on but for example what causes layer swift on high jerk, acceleration and speed? What makes the motor not capable keeping up and finally getting the swift? Is it something that you can overcome by nipping the current? Is it the cpu or the stepper driver overheating or a bottleneck somewhere?

Hypercube currently running on 1500 acceleration, 20 jerk and printing on 110mm/sec getting some layer swift but not always.

Open to all suggestions, more likely a brainstorm so I could break my printers limits. I'm thinking cooling with a peltier for duet, passive cooling maybe with fan for each motor or anything else that may help.

Cheers!

Maybe you have to adjust those two z speeds to get it working quicker

Had a similar issue when I got my duet.

It was a corrupted SD. After changing it works like a charm!

@dc42 Ok just found something weird.

Safari (Mac) won't open the page every time were firefox will. When safari returns "page not found" firefox works like a charm

Sorry I meant the Blue one on the wifi module.

I have no idea what's going on but I did a second erase and set up my wifi with M589 S"ccc" P"ccc" Inn.nn.nn.nn Cnn and seems to work without getting any disconnections.

Can you see anything strange on my diagnosis report?
