Bed mesh compensation not applied to all the tools

duetlover

Hi everybody

I'm using E3D Tool Changer :
Board: Duet 2 Ethernet (2Ethernet)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.1.1 (2020-05-19b2)

I discovered that bed mesh compensation is not applied to tool 3.

My gcode contains G29 S1 at the beginning of file.

I see bed compensation on tool 2, but not on tool 3.

This print uses only T2 and T3. Print starts with T2.

What is the reason ? How could I solve it ?

Thanks !

What do you mean by this? What makes you think it's not active? When you send M122 does it say compensation: mesh?

Can you provide your config.g and tool change files?

duetlover

I see Z screw turning when T2 is active, not turning when T3 is active.

M122 says "Bed compensation in use: mesh, comp offset 0.000"

Thanks !

The more config files you can share the better we can see what's going on with the gcode otherwise we're just guessing in the dark.

Why is mesh levelling disabled in tfree and then reenabled in tpost?

duetlover

This is default configuration of E3D Tool Changer bundle.

Phaedrux

Can you try commenting out those lines? I'm not sure why it would be desirable to disable and re-enable mesh compensation during a tool change.

duetlover

I already tried commenting all G29 in tfree and tpost wihtout success

Phaedrux

Can you upload all of the tool files. (drag and drop into the post window show do it)

duetlover

Job starts with T2, I see bed compensation running

then T3 becomes active.
gcode file :

T3

G91
G1 Z5 F600
G90

As you can see I use G91 / G90 afteer T3 selection.
Could this explain that after this bed compensation doesn't work ?

Thanks

I don't think so.

I do think maybe there is a command to disable compensation in your tool changes, but I can't see the files to check.

Here it is.

I made severall tests again.

I can see bed levelling on T2 (the fist tool used).
When switched to T3, no bed levelling.

Thanks !

Do you get any errors if you send M98 P"config.g"?

G29 S1 is commented out (turned off) in your tpost3.g (and your tpost2.g you just uploaded!!!) whereas it is not commented out (turned on) in your tpost1.g.

In addition to that, like @Phaedrux said, some of your tfree files have G29 S2 still active. Going from T0 to some other tool, you are disabling mesh compensation via tfree0.g, but then because it is G29 S1 is commented out in T2 and T3 it wont turn back on.

Phaedrux

Tfree1 tfree0 still has

;mesh levelling off
G29 S2

And you've commented out all the G29 S1 to turn them on. Just remove all references to G29 in your tool files.

duetlover

@Phaedrux said in Bed mesh compensation not applied to all the tools:

M98 P"config.g"?

=> no error

I will test with all G29 commented.

But as I told you I only use T2 and T3.

How could G29 in T0 or T1 could affect my print ?

All the more the print starts with T2 and bed levelling is active for this first tool.

Keep you updated !

How high (in millimeters) is the object you are printing when the printer changes from T2 to T3?

duetlover

The change to T3 is done at about 3 mm.

I also thought at M376 H15

but the bed levlling is stopped before.

Thanks

Phaedrux

You have T-1 in your config to deselect all tools, so perhaps that's when the tfree files are getting called.

Removing all references should tell us.
