M84 error after upgrade to 3.3

M84 E ; disable for more accurate probing,is what is says.

Well there is why you are getting an error. Whatever is generating that line of code is not putting the number(s) after the E.

If you use to work possibly the older firmware didn't handle that error properly or perhaps in the absence of any number(s) it used a default.

Also why is the Z axis staying up so high the nozzle is about 6mm from the bed. and during probing i does not go down much at all before it goes back up the probe is triggering way early not even close to the bed when I home the printer the probe works as expected don't get it.

We would need to see your homing files first.

Have you made any changes to your config file? If so post it again.

If you change that line to M84 E0 that should solve that error, though I'm not sure it's related to your homing problem. For that we would need to see your homing files and start gcode as well.

mringersoll

@phaedrux Ok here are the homing files but my problem is the nozzle stays like 3mm above bed when it prints.

What type of Z probe do you have?

Have you calibrated the z trigger height recently?

What do you have in your slicer start gcode? I don't see anything wrong with your homing files.

@phaedrux Hello Again
I am using an EZabl for my probe and calibration about 2 days ago. I am using an Ender 3 Cura or simplfy3d slicer i tried to copy and paste to get my cura Start G code but does not work.

Where did that code come from?

@fcwilt Hello That is the Start gcode from my Slicer like i was asked for.
Also as i said before there is something triggering my Z probe way off the print bed i mean the probe is nowhere near the bed when it triggers. When i run G28 the probe works as expected goes close to bed, anything after the probe might get 4mm from bed so something is messing with the Z Probe.

You mentioned Cura and Simplify3D as the slicers you use. Is that correct?

Which slicer was the code you post from?

Was this code you entered in the user code location in the slicer or was it completely generated by the slicer?

Thanks.

Frederick

@fcwilt Hello
slicer generated with the addition for mesh bed probing

mringersoll

@fcwilt oh sorry Cura 4.12.1

@fcwilt Hello
well not sure how to fix it but when i turn on the printer in the console menu of my Paneldue there are two lines back to back that say bad model perimeter it is at the beginning seems to be after the network stuff than wifi starts so how do i start all over with this firmware and such.

I would suspect your M307 commands in the heater section.

The first is M307 H0 B1 S1.5. The S parameter is limited to 0 to 1.

The second is M307 H1 B0 S0.00. While the S parameter is within range it doesn't make sense.

Try setting them both to 1.0 and check again.

I'd suggest going through the calibration again. See if the trigger height is what it should be. I don't see anything in the gcode that would cause it to trigger so high. so it may be an issue with the probe. Recalibrating would let you test it's trigger height.

@fcwilt Hello
well if this is not in the 1.3,1.5 Range i get a heater error that says heater not heating at a fast enough rate.
The first is M307 H0 B1 S1.5. how do i solve that problem.

Mike

@phaedrux hello i have recalibrated many times still same problem

I was just trying to determine if those two error messages were coming from these two commands.

The M307 values shown indicate the heater tuning had not been done so the message about not heating fast enough may go away once tuning is complete.

Frederick

mringersoll

@fcwilt Hello so how is the heater tuning done never done it before please explain.

In the docs for M303 there is a link to heater tuning in greater detail:
