Delta - Nozzle crashing into bed

blt3dp

In your start gcode, you don't really need do do M558 again as you already have that in config.g

I'm assuming the M665 in your config is the same as it was before? Specifically the H parameter for homed height? If that were off, it may think it's farther away from the bed than it is.

Also in your start gcode, you'll want a G30 between the G28 and G32 lines. That will set the 0 position.

Hi and thanks for the fast reply.

They are the same
M665 L400.350 R172.703 H511.873 B155.0 X-0.022 Y-0.040 Z0.000
M666 X-0.599 Y-0.539 Z1.138 A0.04 B0.33

I've just put the G30 between G28 and G32.
So after homing with G28 my printer starts to single probe from the very top.
It takes about 5 minutes to get the nozzle to the bottom

Why is the single probe necessary before auto calibration (G32)?

blt3dp

@malkem G30 gets the Z0 position. You could add something like G0 X0 Y0 Z10 F1800 before the g30 just to move the nozzle down towards the bed a little faster.

@blt3dp
I dont get it. I put the G30 between G28 and G32, the result is the same. As soon as the printer starts to print it crashes into the bed, not by much but I can hear the knock.
Would it help to decrease the Z-value in G31 P50 X0 Y0 Z-0.07?

The larger the Z Trigger Height value the closer the nozzle ends up to the bed when Z is set to 0.

So make the value smaller could help with your problem.

@fcwilt
Tried it out to decrease Z to -2 (G31 P50 X0 Y0 Z-2).
My printer doesn't care anymore. He lower the nozzle always to the same height, what is likely Z0.
I remember increasing/decreasing the G31 Z value helped me in version 2.05.

Any other ideas?
Maybe the whole config.g will help?

@malkem

You don't need to run a print to verify that things are OK.

Move the probe to the center of the bed. Execute G30. When done it should end up at appx Z=16.

Then jog down until the nozzle is just touching the bed. Check the Z position in the DWC. It should be close to 0 if all is well.

Have you actually tried to measure your probe trigger height yet?

https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_testing#calibrate-the-z-probe-trigger-height

I've done this in the past but I will give it another try.
I haven't change any hardware components.

malkem

Just measured the Z trigger height. It is -0.15
I've set the Z value to -2 so the nozzle should be far above the bed, am I right?

Phaedrux

@malkem said in Delta - Nozzle crashing into bed:

Yes. -2mm is pretty extreme. That would make it think that the nozzle is 2mm below the bed surface when the probe triggers.

So tell me this, set your G31 Z trigger height correctly to -0.15 and then if you do a G28 to home the towers and then a G30 to probe the bed to set Z0, if you then send G1 Z0 does the nozzle end up just touching the bed?

malkem

@phaedrux
Good morning phaedrux

I just did how you said and the nozzle was not crashing into the bed.
The space between nozzle and bed was just enough to slide in the sheet of paper I used to determine the Z trigger height.
I've send G32 after G30 and went again to Z0 and nothing has changed, it was enough space to slide in the sheet of paper.
This part seems working fine.

So what the hell is the problem of my printer?
I'm close to toss him out the window

malkem

I'm running out of ideas.

Should I downgrade? Is it even possible?
In my old config.g (v2.05) I've used P1 instead of P8 "M558 P1 H18 F240 R0.4 T4000"
Could it change anything?

I took a look into the gcode file, there is also nothing suspicious in my opinion.

Why did you change to probe type 8?

I would think the strain gauge would output an analog signal.

I changed it back to P1, it didn't help. Got the same results.
If I do it manually G28 -> G30 -> G32 and move the nozzle to Z0, there is a gap between bed and nozzle, just how we would expect.

If I upload a gcode file and start to print, the DWC shows that the nozzle is moving to the first layer height to Z.35. But the nozzle is actually flat on the bed.

Well in the print file you have G28 then G30 then G32 then G29.

Remember that G29 is going to change the Z position based on the X/Y position.

Also for the height map to work correctly you need to set the Z=0 Datum before creating the height map and before loading the height map. Moreover the X/Y position used for setting the Z=0 Datum must always be the same. I use the center of the bed which for me is at X=0 Y=0.

I don't have a delta so I am not sure what G32 does, exactly, but I think you should still have a G30 at your reference point before you do the G29.

And did you set the Z=-0 Datum before creating the height map?

Hi and thanks for your time helping me out here

heightmap and G29 was never a problem before. I've also tried without G29.
I downgraded to version 2.05 and my printer works again.

I dont know if this is a bug or just me doing something wrong.
If you guys want me to try something out, I will do it. But for now I'll stay on version 2.05.
