Did you get an answer on how to center the probe without hardcoding?

This is my way:

 G1 X{((move.axes[0].max + move.axes[0].min) / 2) - sensors.probes[0].offsets[0]}, Y{((move.axes[1].max + move.axes[1].min) / 2) - sensors.probes[0].offsets[1]}, F1800

@fcwilt You need to change "axis" to "axes".

@fcwilt Thanks, this looks good. From where do you get for example the "sensors.probes[0].offsets[0]"? Is there a list somewhere?

The DWC has a plug-in for browsing the object model:

If it is not started just start it and then you can browse through the object model.

Some of what I know is just from trial-and-error, other things were picked up here on the forum.

Oh, I completely missed that part of dwc somehow, as the plug in section in machine specific was empty. But from where in there do you get that with sensors.probes[0].offsets[0] you can refer to the current value? This is probably possible with most variables?

@fcwilt to which part?

The section you asked about.

[sunToxx]

@fcwilt but I do not see the names you can use to call for those values there. That's what I was refering to. A list of those.

The names you need are shown in the browser.

The order is shown by the position.

For example:

sensors.probes[0].diveHeight

When you can have multiple things, like probes, you will see a number like the 0 beneath probes. You use that number in the square brackets as shown above.

Or are you talking about something else?

@fcwilt ah, damn, i missed that all the way up there to the right. The disadvantage of 43" screens Thanks!

Do you by any chance know how to use the Echo command to create a macro?

I have no idea - I didn't even know that was possible.

Why do you need to do that?

Maybe I can help out?

; create a macro file with all the settings we need to continue the print:
; - first, verify the existence of the appropriate print file ...

var fName = "xfridge.g"
if exists(param.F)
	set var.fName = param.F

echo >{var.fName} "; Frozen print state of """^{job.file.fileName}^""", condition: "^var.cCondition
echo >>{var.fName} ""
echo >>{var.fName} "M38 """^{job.file.fileName}^""""								; on unfreeze, look if the file in print still exists
echo >>{var.fName} "if result > 0"													; result: 0=file exists, 1=call failed, 2=file not found
echo >>{var.fName} "    set global.xFrozenState = 0"
echo >>{var.fName} "    if !exists(param.X)"
echo >>{var.fName} "        M291 S2 R""UNFREEZE:"" P""No file in the fridge :-("""
echo >>{var.fName} "    M99"														; file missing: finish execution
echo >>{var.fName} "if exists(param.X)"												; in case of a parameter "X",
echo >>{var.fName} "    M99"														;	return after the filecheck

That's just a snippet from a macro which mimics some functionality of "resurrect.g" by creating a macro which in turn can be called to recover from an interrupted print. The sample is disfunctional, it just illustrates the usage of echo.

I wanted to handle my filament settings via DWC. My idea was to call for a macro on layer 2 via custom slicer start code, so i can set the other layer temperature for nozzle and bed there. To make this work though, every filament change would need to rewrite this macro. No idea if that is a good aproach though.

Thanks, I will have a look at that!

I handle my filament settings via DWC but I have not find a need to create a macro.

I set my bed and extruder temps in the filament specific config.g file. I invoke that file in my print start code.

What is it you need to do different from that approach?

Frederick

[sunToxx]

@fcwilt how do you set first layer and other layer temperatures in the filament specific config.g? That's what i thought i would need a macro for.

[fcwilt]

@suntoxx said in Strange Z error:

Here is one of my filament specific config.g files:

M221 S100 D0             ; set extrusion multiplier
M568 P0 S190 R100 A2     ; set tool 0 extruder temps
M140 S60 R30             ; set bed temps

Near the beginning of my print start code I have these three essential commands plus several others needed for starting a print:

T0   ; select tool 0
M703 ; run the config.g for the currently selected filament
;... other commands
;... other commands
;... other commands
M116 ; wait for temps to reach set points
;... other commands
;... other commands
;... other commands

Not sure what you mean by the mention of first layer.

Frederick

[sunToxx]

@fcwilt does this mean that you always print first layer and all other layers at the same temperatures?

[fcwilt]

@suntoxx said in Strange Z error:

Yes. I have found no reason to do otherwise.

What led you to use different temperatures?

Thanks.
