Ender 3 RRF v1.1 setting up BLtouch

re_tour

@gixxerfast Oh alright, so its gonna be this in the config.g:

G31 P500 X-44 Y-18 Z3.55

this in the mesh.g:

var xoffset = -44
var yoffset = -18
var xpos = {117.5 - var.xoffset}
var ypos = {117.5 - var.yoffset}

But for some strange reason my nozzle homes to X130 Y160

Gixxerfast

@re_tour That looks better.

Well, that's where you go in your homez.g

G1 X130 Y160 F6000

You can change it to the same as in the mesh.g

re_tour

@gixxerfast Oh my god I'm starting to get really exhausted

Gixxerfast

@re_tour Yeah, take a break. Start again tomorrow

It will work now as it is. Maybe not perfectly but good enough to print PLA and stuff.

With PC, ABS and ASA it need to be pretty spot on but with PLA it should work fine.

You should not print those others anyway with your PTFE lined hotend.

re_tour

@gixxerfast You're right, I'll leave it be for today. I can't thank you enough for all the help, I would be nowhere without your assistance.

Gixxerfast

@re_tour No problems, happy to help out when I can

re_tour

@gixxerfast I'm bosting everythin here so that it won't get lost somehow and I can better check it tomorrow Maybe someone can find it helpful as well

@gixxerfast Hey there! So today I've tried the mesh and it works! This is what I see after running it:
3dc79a59-05f3-40c1-8ebe-e15e64d77d03-kép.png
So now all is left is to slice the things I want in Cura and upload the gcode which I get?

re_tour

So I started the print, and the filament started to go in the opposite direction. I haven't the slightest clue why.

Gixxerfast

@re_tour Hi there, reverse the extruder motor

@gixxerfast said in Ender 3 RRF v1.1 setting up BLtouch:

M569 P3 S0

Thank you so much. Do I have to reverse it every time I turn the printer on or was it just an initial setting mistake I didn't pay attention to?

Gixxerfast

@re_tour No, just change it once in config.g and it wasn't a mistake. Really hard to know how the wires are supposed to be, just as long as the pairs are correct it's good. Many has to adjust that AFAIK.

re_tour

@gixxerfast Thank you very much!

re_tour

@gixxerfast So I didn't input that change into the config.g yet, but wrote it into the console. Printed 2 things, the strange thing is that at the end of each print the mechanism pulls the filament all the way out. Why could that be?

Gixxerfast

@re_tour You must have something wonky in your slicer. Check if there some custom end print gcode in Cura (it was Cura you were using, right?)

re_tour

@gixxerfast Yes sir, let me check.

@gixxerfast This is the last few lines of the first gcode:

G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z

I really don't have a clue. I'm just guessing but...

Try to find where these are inserted

And comment them out /remove them.

See if it makes any difference.

re_tour

@gixxerfast You were right, G1 E-2 F2700 pulls the filament nearly all the way out. Thank you (once again)

Gixxerfast

@re_tour That's great!
Happy printing!

I think you might have to revisit the offset configuration. The mesh looked a bit shifted. But that's for another day

and as long as it prints and you get the first layer right, it works
