Triple Z motors not correcting

When I run bed leveling it checks all lead screws and then seems to tilt the wrong way.

Is there an order that should be setup for which is right or left ? Current configuration is 0,0 far left.

[nriviera]

You're correct in that the error is in your config file with the order in the M671. Annoyingly you can't make each Z axis move independent of the other to test that they are correct in the config. I just trial and error'd my way around until I got it correct.

You can if you temporarily bind each Z motor driver to its own axis. Then you can move them independently manually. Just be careful not to rip your bed apart.

Current configuration is 0,0 far left.

Far left as in rear left? That may be a bit of a problem as you're not using a right handed coordinate system. 0,0 should be in the front left, +X to the right, -X to the left, -Y to the front, +Y to the back.

Regardless, this is the key part of the configuration that you're missing

You must use the M671 command to define the X and Y coordinates of the leadscrews. The M671 command must come after the M584 command and must specify the same number of X and Y coordinates as the number of motors assigned to the Z axis in the M584 command; and these coordinates must be in the same order as the driver numbers of the associated motors in the M584 command. The M671 command must also come after any M667 or M669 command.

@Phaedrux A right handed system ? My endstops are Y to the far rear and x to the left. Therefore, Y + is towards the front and X+ is to the right.

[Phaedrux]

With Y flipped like that you're likely to get mirrored prints.

Your Y axis endstop is at the high end of travel in that case and when triggered would set the coordinate position to the M208 Y maxima, rather than 0.

[mrenz999]

@Phaedrux As my endstops are to the rear and left what should I change to make that flip without changing where the endstops are ?

[Phaedrux]

Post your config.g and homeall.g

M574 Y2 and in homeall the direction of the Y homing move would be positive instead of negative.

If this is corexy you'll also need to do some tests to verify your motor connections and rotation directions are correct.

are you sure thats correct? this would mean the leadscrews are inside the bed.

[mrenz999]

@Veti It's the probe spot. On the bed where it can probe closest to the leadscrew.

In your homeall switch the direction of all the Y moves as shown here. Also the move to position the probe should probably be defined in absolute coordinates.

Then in config.g you'd need to change the M574 for the Y axis to tell it the endstop is at the high end. That's Y2 instead of Y1

The order and position of the lead screws will need to change, first to match the order of the motors defined in M584 but also the coordinates will be different now that your Y axis is flipped.

And as Veti says, try to estimate where the lead screws are actually positioned in absolute space relative to the 0,0 position in the front left corner even if they are outside the reachable area. It's only the points defined in the bed.g that need to be within the reachable area.

Which leads us to the bed.g points. You'll need to amend those as well now that the Y axis is flipped.

Also, don't forget to do those motor movement tests for corexy I linked.

Oh and your Z probe offset will need to be redone to reflect the new Y axis direction.

Oh and you might want to edit homey.g as well to change the directions of the homing moves.

those go in the bed.g not the M671 command.

the M671 are the actual positions of the leadscrew.
