Mesh calibration not working or what am I doing wrong?

thy with M557 X500:1000 Y150:600 S10

This is unfortunately impossible The maximum number of points is 121

Dep

But part of the model in the photo falls into several calibration points. Why are they not aligned?

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_mesh_bed_compensation

There is a firmware-dependent limit on the number of 441 probe points allowed.

Dep

I have a 0.8.5 board. And when i try to make more than 121 points, it gives an error.

But even with this number of points. They overlap the model. Why is it not calibrated.

I think there is some kind of limit on the calibration height.

I have spent many days and can not solve this problem.
There is no technical possibility to make a flat table on such sizes.

I don’t know what to do next.

Veti

what firmware version are you using?

Dep

Duet 0.85
RepRapFirmware for Duet 1.25RC4 (2019-10-19b1)

Error: M557: bad grid definition: Too many grid points; suggest increase spacing to 47.4mm

Veti

try decreasing the mesh area and see if the result improves, allowing more probing points in a smaller area.

Dep

I tried to reduce to 20mm. That helped. But now I don’t know, maybe I came across a flat section of the table?

But I need the printer to work on a large table. I don’t understand what the problem is.

Why calibration is not working? There may be some kind of configuration problem.

After all, in theory, for firmware it does not matter how uneven the bed is.

Either there are limitations in the firmware, or maybe the adjustment is not accurate and it is not visible at small values. But it becomes noticeable with a large roughness.

look at the mesh calibration image to check.

Dep

If you mean to look at the program code, then unfortunately I am not good at programming.

Veti

no the image of the you see after running mesh bed compensation.

Hi,

Have you ever defined a probing grid that covers the entire bed?

If not would you do that, probe the bed and post the height map here?

Thanks.

Made a calibration with the parameters: M557 X500:700 Y150:230 S20

I still can’t understand what this can give us?

@fcwilt Bed Size X1380 Y1210
I only calibrate 500 x 500

But the part fits in this size. It is inside a calibrated space.

Do you think if not the entire bed is calibrated this can cause an error? But how to do that? Maybe reduce the table and set offsets?

One height map you posted was absolutely terrible.

I just want to get picture of the entire bed as a reference.

Not having the entire bed calibrated shouldn't cause an error unless you try to print outside that area.

But there is not much point in having a large bed if you cannot use it all.

Thanks.

Now I can’t make a height map of the whole table, because glass 650 x 650 mm is fixed on the table

Yes, the bed is very crooked. But why doesn't compensation work? Does it really matter how rough the bed is?

with a bed as uneven as that it does.
the points in beetween probing are calculated and dont reflect what is actually there.
so if the bed is not uniformly uneven it will be off.
with it beeing off by an entire layer means this error can be significant.

Dep

Yes, I agree, but the table is made of 4mm glass. It cannot be a “spasmodic” curve. I hope I wrote correctly

Those. the glass of course bends around the table, but these are smooth bends.

I see. Have you probed the glass area? Have you posted the height map here?

If you are limited to 121 points its going to be hard to get an accurate picture of that area

Probe a 220 by 220 area in the center of the glass and post the height map please.
