Mesh Bed Compensation

Phaedrux

What firmware version specifically are you using?
Can you post your config/tool change files?

If you check M122 does it show mesh compensation in use?

johneato

Phaedrux thanks for your reply.

M122 gives RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet version 2.05.1 running on Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5
....
Bed compensation in use: mesh, comp offset 0.000

The compensation shown is consistent across all tools.

i was under the impression that all tools would be at the same position with a toolchanger.

does the nozzle position really vary by 4 cm between the tools?

"does the nozzle position really vary by 4 cm "
Yes it does. The shortest is T0 with an E3D Aero and the longest is T3, a bondtech with a Volcano

I have just read your post again and realised I miss understood your question. I thought you were referring to the Z offsets.
The X and y offsets have not been setup yet, just positioned to somewhere near the centre of the bed. I'll sort those when I get to multi tool printing.
I would appreciate any steer on the mesh leveling problem

@johneato said in Mesh Bed Compensation:

M376 H15 ; bed compensation taper

Can you try setting your taper height to 0 so that mesh compensation is always applied? I suspect your tool offsets are raising the height above the taper height and so no (or no noticeable) compensation is being applied at that height.

See here for what sounds like a similar problem: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/19190/bed-mesh-compensation-not-applied-to-all-the-tools

That's the one. I removed reference to M376 and now it works fine.
Thanks for your help

Phaedrux

DC42 is taking a look to add a fix for 3.2. So if you want to use taper you'd have to upgrade, otherwise the workaround should be fine if you want to stick with RRF2.
