i suggested this before, but when i "heater fault" occurs why not pause the print and allow the user to "resume" the print after the fault is rectified/cleared.

Good idea, I'll add it to the wish list.

XYZ Compensation

Like josef prusa does it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYrLT5G-a9I

i know that this might sound crazy but there must be a reason why mk42 heat beds have 9 points in some very precise locations

and yes skew can be corrected but you have to measure manual. automatic would be better. maybe giving the user a chance to correct if there is skew in the hardware.

i will be given one of these for free from a german source, and then i will get one from here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mk42-heated-bed-ultimate-3d-printer-build-plate/x/16302496#/

code for the feature can maybe be taken from here: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/blob/MK2/Firmware/mesh_bed_calibration.cpp#L53

but that might not be the whole picture

In no particular order my votes are:

4/5) does this mean that say 2 corners of the bed can be fixed and 2 Z's steppers are then driven to get the same Z at both corners? ie like on the mendel90 where you only adjust 2 of 4 screws at the bed corners

Consider: Use Stallguard to perform bed levelling/compensation. GCode that sets lower current, slower moves, low Stallguard Threshold (SGT) and uses this to find the bed with the hotend by treating stall notification as trigger. Once complete, returns to normal current/speed/accel settings. Complications that may arise and require a lot of custom tuning per individual printer are outlined very well in section 4.1 of the datasheet: https://www.trinamic.com/fileadmin/assets/Products/ICs_Documents/TMC2660_datasheet.pdf.
Perhaps flag that allows SGT triggers for each driver to be displayed as they are triggered to assist in tuning the individual printer's motors?

that would only work where the Z steppers are able to push the nozzle down

if the X ends rest on Z isolators there will be no resistance when the nozzle touches the bed, but maybe the load will lighten enough that you can say that you are at the bed

You have a valid point - in all fairness I admit that I was particularly focused on deltas, because, I design/build/use deltas.
This idea does seem to me to be a very similar concept to the accelerometers recently being used, without having to implement any new hardware. And pretty cool that Duet is the only board that I'm familiar with that could do it.

Sadly not possible. StallGuard only updates the stall status every full step, so the resolution would be too low. Also StallGuard doesn't work at low speed because the motor back EMF is too low.

What might be possible is to use StallGuard and reduced motor current to eliminate the homing switches on a Delta printer. The homing positions do not need to be accurate if auto calibration is run after homing.

Thanks for all your votes. I am currently working on #1, and when that is complete I will total the votes up.

What happens with ideas that made it to the list but got no votes?

will they stay for a next round of voting?

Probably, and if not then you can suggest them again.

Is there current support for bed probing more than once ? ( i dont think there is?)

Probing the same point lets say 5 times then taking the average of that point?
when i was using other firmware that was nice because some probes were just not that accurate. so this helped even out that problem.

also just a simple Request, on a G30 command we can also have the Max and Min values?

so the code that comes back looks like this:

[c] 8:52:14 PM
M98 P0:/macros/probetesting/Probe Testing moving 100 -100 probe 0,0 25 Point.p values .gcode
Bed probe heights: -0.009 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.003 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.006 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003 -0.003,
mean -0.005, deviation from mean 0.002[/c]

Could we also have the max and min value from the mean? ( the span)

i use (=ABS) in excel to handle the + and - values.

Thanks,
