Mesh calibration always outside printbed

vcaldas

@Veti
Adding the config fileconfig (2).g

If I go to X0 Y0, the nozzle is exactly at the corner of the printbed and the probe is out of the printbed.
If I go to X35 Y35 , then both are where they should be.

M208 X220 Y220 Z210 S0 ; set axis maxima
G31 P500 X35 Y35 Z0.1 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X35:200 Y35:200 S55 ; define mesh grid

There is your problem 200+35 = 235

that is larger than your bed.

vcaldas

@Veti Thanks for the suggestion.

I changed to X50:150 S50 So it is now for sure smaller than the bed and is still having the same issue.
It's not zeroing on X50 for mesh levelling, but on X0 Y0

what do you mean by zeroing?

vcaldas

Sorry for lack of clarification.
Zeroing was the first point to be probed.

I would expect the probe starts at X50 Y50 but it is going again to X0 Y0

@vcaldas

did you change y as well. it has the same problem as x

did you restart after the changes?

vcaldas

Yes. Both X and Y and giving the same error.
I restarted the machine, Checked the files, all is updated.

I even put the printer and X40 Y40 and I would expect to be on X50 Y50... it went directly to X0 Y50...

Not sure what to do...

@vcaldas
post your changed config

vcaldas

@Veti Found the issue!

G31 P500 X35 Y35 Z0.1 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

I was adding the offsets for X and Y as well and they should be 0
The new line becomes

G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.1 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

Problem solved!
Thanks for the patience and help!

no this is incorrect for a bltouch. this means that the nozzle would be the probing point. this will give you an incorrect mesh.

vcaldas

@Veti that's a very good point.

Fixing it to the correct values, there is no more error.
G31 P500 X-22 Y0 Z0.1

Thanks for pointing that out!
