Heigh error after calibrating

@Phaedrux here are all my files:
homez.g homeall.g config.g bed.g
Startcode:
M98 P"/macros/PLA_Offset" ;set z probe offsets
G29 S1 ;load heighmap
@Stephen6309 i add the macro thing xD

Adjusting the probe Z trigger height is a curious way to make such an adjustment.

The probe Z trigger height should be a constant that only varies with temperature perhaps.

If you wish to tweak the Z height when printing different materials you may want to use the "baby steps" setting instead - see M290.

You can, if you wish, make use of the filament handling feature of DWC to specify different filaments at the start of a print and obtain different Z height "tweaks" using M290 based on the selected filament.

@fcwilt thx for you advice, but first i want that my printer prints something befor i will realy start tweaking out some thing, right now my problem is that the nozzel is allways 1-2 mm to high

OK that should be easy to correct.

One thing you need to remember is that before creating a height map with G29 S0 and before loading the height map with G29 S1 you need to perform a G1 to move the probe to the center of the bed and then do a single G30 to set the Z=0 datum.

And of course for the Z probe to work properly it's Z trigger height value (in G31) needs to be set to the correct value.

@fcwilt all of that is done see in the homeZ and the trigger hiegh is calibrated with :
Move the nozzel to the middle
G30
than moving nozzel down till it hits the bed
G92 Z0
G1 Z10
G30 S-1

That calibration looks fine.

However homeZ.g looks a bit wonky.

I've re-posted it here using the </> tag:

; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing

;G1 Z10 F100      ; lift Z relative to current position
G90              ; absolute positioning

This line, which occurs after the G30, may be the cause of your problems:

G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)

On my printer, running firmware 3.2.2, after a G30 the Z position is the probe dive height (the H parameter in M558) plus the Z trigger height (the Z parameter in G31).

But the G92 is telling the firmware that the Z position is 0.

Perhaps that is correct for your firmware but it would cause a problem with mine.

@fcwilt with the G92 Z(dive heigh+triger high)
is still the same problem

After you performed the calibration routine you posted did you go back and update the G31 command with the correct Z trigger height as reported by the G30 S-1?

@fcwilt jup its 3.760

Since the G30 leaves Z at dive height + trigger height setting it again to the same value with G92 is redundant.

It doesn't hurt but isn't needed.

Are you still running the "PLA" macro?

If so what does it look like.

And that is the height reported by your calibration routine?

@fcwilt ya

fcwilt

Hi,

Recall that before creating a height map with G29 S0 or before loading the height map with G29 S1 you need to position the probe to the center of the bed and do a single G30 to set the Z=0 datum.

Having set the Z trigger height to the value as reported by your calibration routine did you go back and re-create the height map using the new value?

Are you also setting the Z=0 datum when loading the new height map?

I mentioned that changing the Z trigger height to accommodate different filaments was not a good approach - one reason being is that it will mess up setting the Z=0 datum which may cause the height map to not work right.

@fcwilt i reprobed everything still same problem, could it be something with the zmin stop and the prob are on 2 diff heights? if yes what would be the solution

fcwilt

Hi,

I've re-posted your files using the </> tag - it saves everyone the trouble of downloading your files.

Would you look at them and verify they are your current files?

Thanks.

@fcwilt I adjust the Z offset so I don't have to remember to do baby steps on every print. Currently I only change the filament when I run out on the spool.

As I said changing the Z trigger height may cause the height map to not work correctly.

And as I said you can use the filament management feature of DWC to allow you to select different filament types and make any adjustments desired to things like extruder temp, extrusion multiplier, baby step settings and more.

You don't have to do it for every print - it will happen automatically if your "print start" code invokes the the command needed to trigger the changes specified by the current filament.

Here is an example of a filament configuration file. Every filament type you enter into the DWC filament management feature will have it's own configuration file.

M221 S100 D0    ; set extrusion multiplier
G10 S200 R0	; set extruder temps
M140 S60 R0	; set bed temps

Here are the commands you would place into your "print start" code that will invoke the configuration file for the currently selected filament type.

T0		; select tool 0 so extruder commands below will work
M703		; configure selected filament

So once you select a filament type it will remain selected and every print will run the commands you have entered into the configuration file for that filament type.

@fcwilt In my slicer's start gcode, I call the macros, then home, then G32 which does a G29 S1 or S0 depending on if it finds heightmap.csv. Never had a problem with the heightmap working correctly.
