Testing Resolution / accuracy , Your results wanted! Z Probe Results
-
I hooked up my servo controlled switch for comparison to my IR setup and here are the results:
interesting, its a bit more sloppy. but very close. still way good i think…
i would like to see you do a contact contact test... see if you can pull off a perfect score...
Or if you have some slop in that Cartesian...
here are the results of both the last 2 entry's.
any other takers... please post results.
the more data i ( we) have the better idea we have of types of probes... and printers. + errorsyour data added to the workbook.
Higher rez http://open-source-energy.org/rwg42985/russ/Projects/3D%20printer/micro%20switch%20Z%20probe%20Data/Bed%20Probes%20accuracy%20others%20added.jpgby the way if you guys look at the spreed sheet there is plots for each run like Yonkiman posted….
and it is interesting so see the plot.
i have also seen where the first probe or 2 is off but then flat lines , kinda interesting.

[h]MORE TESTING PLEASE

I would like to be able to contribute some data for under-bed piezo sensors but unfortunately the cost of the Duet3D prevents me from doing so at the moment. I suspect from oscilloscope and logic analyzer traces that it is at least in the 1 micron region but Arduino/Ramps/Repetier firmware only reports to 0.01mm. Of course, if anybody knows how I can coax Repetier firmware to report G30 either to 0.001mm or in raw Z stepper steps I may be able to give you the data

if you can, just run the test any way. post the numbers. if there all flat lined then your under your liniment of the Repetier… but that's ok. because if your way out we will see that too
Thanks!!
do you have some links / photos of the bed with Piezo's?

Hi Russ, some more data for you:
My machine:
Basically a Think3dPrint3D mini Kossel.
4mm aluminium heated bed + 4mm glas with Filaprint sheet.
20T pulleys, 1,8 deg stepper.
3 FSR sensors under the bed connected to 3 ADC on ATmega8. I created circuit and program myself (no Arduino).
Homing switches are Hall-sensors.
Flying extruder with counterweight.Bed cold, Nozzle 140C cleaned.

Just bought one of those from your early bird special.
Looking forward to trying it.
Planning on using that on a Hypercube Evolution that I am in the process of building.
Thanks for putting in the time and effort needed to develop such a product, and still making it easily available to everyone!Sandro

Mike,
I've been in the giving mood lately, and similarly to how I hooked up DJDemon's with a diet wifi, I am inclined to gift one to you as well as a personal thank you for all the contributing you do toward this hobby. Shoot me your address and I'll replace the vssa fuse on one of the other 3 boards I'd accidentally fried over the months and didn't know the fuse was replaceable. LoL. Anyway, what I'm gonna do with 4 Duet Wifi boards? ? -

I'm just hoping the modules will live up to expectations, have quite a few orders now, so give me a few days guys to make them. But thank you for your support.

Hi Russ, any chance of an update of the graphs with the latest results?
-
will do, its been on my list of To Do's . lots of excitement lately with the release of the QSN.
(if you haven't see that let me know, i haven't posted it here because its not directly Duet related… but soon ill be!)
so i haven't had time to work on this project so sorry for my lack of attendance one day at a time.let me this new data now!
Thanks for all who have added!!

Not heard of that Russ please do post the links?

DjDemonD and dc42
can you run the test 2 times ( please post one more run of each. I need more data to do the equally with the rest of the data!)
also David, can you run the IR probe you have built, do you have it installed on something you can test? that one is a real mystery still
know one has given data on it anywhere! Thanks!Jrlederer,
That was kind of you to gift a Bord!
Can I ask you to trade an old version 0.8.5 for a Duet Wifi? I have a good never used ( was for a project that i haven't finished yet) 0.8.5 that i did some testing with. then i upgraded that new Delta to a duet wifi. I would just sell it and get a Duet Wifi but no funds for that…
( hey mamma always said its never a bad idea to ask)and for some reason you say yes but dont want the 0.8.5 ill do a give a give away on my YT channel.. ( sponcerd by you )
ok.
Here is the data from AndreS
still waiting on he second run from you other guys! ( please)your data added to the workbook.

ok updated Charts.
I found a few errors on my data selection so I corrected those, That change a few results. but , all for the better.
its all correct now…
also, i added Davids data but would like to have the other data set. all ways better to have a pool of data as a one time run can make you look to good
heheyour data added to the workbook.

Russ, if you have a Duet 0.8.5 that you don't want, you can probably find a buyer for it on the reprap.org forum.
My delta is down for maintenance right now, I'll generate another set of date when it is running again
