Smart effector first layer issues

Lakeman

The new height map, I did not do a delta calibration, and the first layer did fail

Lakeman

Thanks a lot for the help so far, hopefully we will get there. I have to get going a little but, just keep posting, but I will try it later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a lot!!

Wow explosive!

; Heat bed to 60C & nozzle to 130C
M104 S130 T0
M190 S60 T0
M109 S130 T0
M106 P2 S0
G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Reset Z trigger height to 0mm
M290 R0 S0 ; Reset babystepping
G29 S2 ; Clear bed mesh
G28 ; Home the effector
G1 X0 Y0 Z20 F1200 ; Move close to the bed
G30 ; Probe to find a rough Z 0mm

G1 X0 Y0 Z1 F1200 ; Move the nozzle to Z 1mm slowly
G92 Z3.0 ; Set the Z height to 3mm, allowing moves below 0
M291 P"Lower the nozzle to until it touches a 0.10mm shim. Click to continue." S2 Z1
G92 Z0 ; Define this point as 0mm
G1 X0 Y0 Z20 ; Move the probe to Z 20mm
G30 S-3 ; Probe and set the trigger height
G1 Z20 ; Raise Z to 20mm

Try that then G29 dont run calibration

@Lakeman

We will get there I had weeks of this!

Lakeman

ALright, I followed the sequense discribed above, afterwards run a mesh compensation with similar result

Carlo

@Lakeman

Ok add the 2mm back to M665 H run the macro again please then G29

Lakeman

This should be a delta calibration issue I guess. Probably the delta radius or so

Carlo

@Lakeman
We change the height based off of the Z0 yesterday so adding it back to rule that out

Also send M672 see what it spits out

Lakeman

Added 2mm
Ran the macro and g29:

m672
Error: M672: No program bytes provided

Carlo

@Carlo

Run the macro then delta calibrate then G29 sorry Dopy moment here

Carlo

@Lakeman
Wasn't sure it talks back that's fine

Lakeman

Ok. Done the macro again,
G32
Calibrated 6 factors using 16 points, (mean, deviation) before (1.067, 0.643) after (0.000, 0.063)
G29:

Lakeman

m665
Diagonals 440.480:440.480:440.480, delta radius 231.706, homed height 420.175, bed radius 185.0, X 0.287°, Y 0.164°, Z 0.000°

m666
Endstop adjustments X0.28 Y0.16 Z-0.44, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%

@Lakeman This is a good page for visualising the effects of the delta (M665) parameters: http://boim.com/DeltaUtil/CalDoc/Calibration.html
I'd guess your delta radius is wrong. Set up and run autocalibration. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer

Edit: never mind, you got there!

I entered the values of the delta calibration in the config file, ran the macro and G29:

Carlo

@Lakeman
that looks better notice your radius is some 8mm bigger
I would think about resetting your sensitivity back to default also
M672 S131:131 up to you but I've never seen any benefit to adjusting it with the stock bed
or of a config-override on a delta when you do a calibration before a print
Try a print ? fingers crossed ?

Lakeman

I tried printing after this, no succes...
I will set the sensetivity back and try again

Carlo

@Lakeman
Where are you based in the world ?

Lakeman

Germany

Failed again. The weird thing for me is that is is to close at one point, and to high 5mm further. It is so local that calibrition can hardly be a problem. Maybe I should go with an even finer mesh setting, but the original predator did not have a super fine mesh and had no problems at all....

Carlo

@Lakeman

Long shot...
Can you measure the carriage spacing and then effector spacing of the ball joints

or unclip the effector and line it up it to the carriage on all towers ?
