Z calibration offset
-
your coming file does not use the bltouch. ( missing g30 command instead of switch command)
also the height map must be loaded after z=0 determination
-
-
there is no g30 in your home script.

Great.
It looks like you attempted to post an updated homeall.g file but something went wrong.

I don't use v2 firmware but I think that command above should be M574 Z1 S2

@Thunder said in Z calibration offset:
G1 X100 Y100 F2000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe
G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger heightI don't think X100 Y100 is going to put your probe over the center of the bed which is really the best place.
i dont understand "Where is the your code to create the height map?" ?
I guess you are issuing the G29 command from the DWC?

Yes, this is right. Ok, came home and started the machine and a couple of settings were wrong. Now I have managed the home all to touch the probe for z and started the G29 S0
but I still get the same result. Can anybody point out what I am doing wrong?

And here is the picture

@Thunder said in Z calibration offset:
G1 X250 Y250 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
For now that G1 command above is OK but it doesn't take into account the z probe X and Y offsets - so you're getting close to the center of the bed but you're not at the center.
You have to be sure that G30 is setting the Z co-ordinate correctly before G29 will work as desired.
So do the following:
After the G30 in homeall.g comment out the G91 and the G1 commands.
Run homeall.g and see what the Z co-ordinate readout in the DWC is after the execution of G30.
Verify that it is correct either by measuring the gap between the nozzle and the bed OR jog down to Z=0 and see if the nozzle is just touching the bed.
Let me know what you find.

Ok, I have now managed the calibration. But when I start the program from the slicer I get the Error: M375: Heightmap file bareplate.csv not found I think this means my startup code is not ok
thank you
-
Well you must have a command somewhere like this G29 S1 P"bareplate.scv".
For that to work at some point you would have to created that file with G29 S3 P"bareplate.csv".
Did you do so?
Frederick
-
Ok i checked and you are right. In the startup i had a M375 command. I deleted the line and replaced the command with G29 S1. And now my next question if load the g code of a part for printing the machine homes and makes the printer use the height map that i did eariler with G29 S0. But my nozzle is stil a few 0.1 mm from build plate. Do i correct this with baby steps ?
Thanks for all of your input

Refresh my memory please.
When creating the height map do you have commands something like these:
G90 G1 Xaaa Ybbb ; move the z probe to the center of the bed G30 ; set the Z=0 datum G29 ; probe the bed and create the height mapWhen loading the height map do you have commands something like these:
G90 G1 Xaaa Ybbb ; move the z probe to the center of the bed G30 ; set the Z=0 datum G29 S1 ; load the height mapFrederick
-
Yes like the last one, this code is in slicer start program.

Great.
How about when creating the height map?
The G30 for creating and loading need to use the exact same X and Y position.
