have problems with mesh bed leveling

G29 with multi-point probing i got this output

If you compare the simple 4 points, with the multi point it certainly looks like your bed has a huge bulge. try rotating the surface or flipping it over to confirm it is a physical issue with the bed surface.

ok shit

can you recommend me a good bed ?

lui2004

today i have changed the bed and all is flat

now,what i do first before i start print?
G29 S1 ; Load Mesh
G32 to Level the 2 independend Z-Motors

and the start print is correct ? if yes my prints starts over the air if do this

Well for my DBOT equipped with 3 Z-axis steppers and I am leveling the bed and/or creating the height map as separate operations via Macros

For printing I:

warm the bed and extruder heater for several minutes
home all
set the "Z=0 Datum" using the Z-probe
load the height map
begin print

for Simplify3d in Endscript is the code like this ?

G28 ; home all axis
G1 X110 Y110 ; Go to Center
G30 ; Z=0 Datum
G29 S1 ; Load Mesh

The only gcode I have in S3D is to use M98 to invoke two macros, print_begin.g and print_end.g

Hi

i have never used macros, can you explain me ho to use it ?

thanks a lot for your help

A macro is just a file containing G-codes. You use M98 P"macro filename" to run a macro by name.

They are great for putting the code for a specific function which you might want to run from various places in one file so there's only one file to edit when you need to change things.

For example, you could have the code needed to home your X, Y and Z axes repeated in both homeall.g and the individual home macros. Or, you could just call the individual home macros from homeall.g

ok nice !

for example for z=Datum

Zdatum.g

G1 X110 Y110 ; Go to bed center
G30 ; Probe once

and then i can insert in Simplify3d in Startscript

M98 Zdatum.g

is it correct ?

infiniteloop

You're very close:

M98 P"Datum.g"

lui2004

yeah i will do my best ,i will learn

infiniteloop

You're very close:

... as was I. Let's try it again:

M98 P"Zdatum.g"

Sorry.

As stated by the other poster your syntax is not quite correct.

But consider the approach of having just two calls in S3D to macros that do everything you need to start printing and to finish printing.

That those macro can call other macros if that makes things easier.

My goal is to minimize changes I have to make in S3D and keep all the changes in the Duet.
