Printing in the Air
-
Dear all, I have a creality ender 5 pro. following Youtube tutorials I manage to slowly but firmly upgrade to Bl Touch, Hemera extruder in Marlin 1.9....and now Duet 2 Wifi with Panel Due5i
Upgrade firmwares to 2.1.8 , wired all.
I can see the board and home and move the head around. I can home and even Map the bed or run auto compensations.
The issue comes on printing. I am using Simplify3d as slicer. The printer ramps temperatures up nicely, but when it supposed to start printing...the head move constantly above the bed (5mm) without touching it and extruding material in the air.Here is my config.g file for your consideration.

Upgraded to Firmware 3.0 and boy made it worst.
The bed does not home in either X or Y (I am not sure about the endstops type I have- they are the std Ender 5 pro only closed when home at 0,0)
The fun thing is they were homing fine in version 2.03
BL Touch works
Temp worksHere is the config file

Hi Daniel. Your original problem sounds like the steps per mm for the Z axis is set too high. And 792 seems like an odd number to use. From a quick googling it looks like 400 should be the correct value and that would be a very common value.
AS for your RRF3 upgrade woes, I think it would be a good idea to try and go back to 2.05.1 firmware for the time being. Since you have your original config.g in your first post, you can use that. Going back to the old firmware is the same process as updating. Just upload the 2.05.1 bin file from the web interface.
Let us know how you get along.

Thanks Phaedrux, I will give it a try and return.

@Phaedrux
Phaedrux, I took the time to post pictures, old marlin scripts and a whole new config with detail into a new post to include the pages of the configurator with values
If you help me to go through this I am sure we can conquer this.
Would you review this for me? The post is named Ender 5 Pro Hemera Bltouch upgrade to Duet Wifi Firmware 3 under Tuning and Tweaking.
Thanks a lot for your patience. I am trying to fix it at the same time that building a guide for the one coming after.
