Dive height for mesh bed compensation
-
Hi,, I want to optimize mesh bed leveling, so I wanted to tweak dive height to not go as high between probing point. What I understood height where printer start probing should be calculated from G31 Z value + M558 H value. But whatever I do with M558 H value, it behaves all the times same. Probing starts at Z 2.6 mm. What am I doing wrong?
Here my config.g

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
But M558 H dive height should be slightly larger than the trigger height set in G31 Z.
So based on your trigger height of 1.6mm I would suggest you use a dive height of ~3mm.

Citation from wiwki to M558 command:
"Hnnn Dive height (mm). When using mesh bed compensation or running G30 commands with specified XY coordinates (for example from the bed.g file), the firmware moves the Z probe to this height above where it expects the bed to be before commencing probing. The maximum depth of probing from this position is twice the dive height. A large dive height will tolerate a very uneven bed or poor calibration. A small dive height will make probing faster, because the Z probe has less distance to travel before reaching the bed. Default value if omitted is 5mm."
So it moves Z probe to the height where it expect the bed + Hmm above, or am I wrong? I think I tuned it before (year or two ago) and it worked as I was expecting.
However if I set H parameter to 20, it still moves the Z to 2.6mm when probing.
BTW I'm using RRF 3.2 on Duet 2 Meastro
PS: From GCODE wiki example section for M558:
"The H parameter defines the Z probe dive height, which is the height above the trigger height from which probing starts. The default is 3mm or 5mm depending on firmware version. You may wish to increase it during initial calibration." -
Alright. I'd still use M558 H3

OK, thanks for your opinion. You'll use 3mm. My printer now use 1mm and everything is flawless, by the sensor hysteresis which is around 0.1mm and my bed flatness (max deviation +/- 0.1) I don't need to use anything more than 0.3-0.4 (just in case something go wrong).
And anyway, my printer use 1mm even if I set 20mm. That's my problem... -

I assume you are re-booting or resetting the board after changing the H parameter?
As a test I set the Z trigger height parameter to 10 and the H dive height parameter to 20.
If the starting Z position was Z=15 then it started probing from there.
If the starting Z position was Z=35 then it started probing from there.
After the first probe it moved to Z=30 and probed again.
After the second probe it moved to Z=30 and was done.

I changed M558 in config.g. to:
M558 P5 F100 H20 C"!zprobe.in" A3 T1200 S0.02Thinking order of parameters can affect it. But no result. Even probing speed is not working for me
It still go to 2.6mm and speed of probing is 10mm/s.
To be sure I checked in console and it reports parameters which I set, but probing is doing differently.
"Z Probe 0: type 5, input pin !zprobe.in, output pin nil, dive height 20.0mm, probe speed 100mm/min, travel speed 1200mm/min, recovery time 0.00 sec, heaters normal, max taps 3, max diff 0.02" -
Do you have m558 commands elsewhere?
If you send m558 during the mesh run does it still show 20mm dive height?

@Cecil
maybe in config-override? -
I'm stupid. I don't know why but I had it in homeall.g
I didn't notice it before.
Thanks everybody for help
