Auto Bed Compensation Issue

otislehawk

I am having an issue with Auto Bed Compensation. When I run it I am receaving this error, Error: Probe points P0 to P3 must be in clockwise order starting near X=0 Y=0 and P4 must be near the centre.

My current bed.g file looks like this,

M561 ; clear any bed transform
M98 Pdeployprobe.g ; deploy mechanical Z probe
; Probe the bed at 5 points

G30 P0 X33 Y1 H0 Z-99999
G30 P1 X187 Y1 H0 Z-99999
G30 P2 X187 Y218 H0 Z-99999
G30 P3 X33 Y218 H0 Z-99999
G30 P4 X110 Y110 H0 Z-99999 S
M98 Pretractprobe.g ; retract mechanical Z probe

It seems to probe fine but it shows the error on my web browser when it finishes? I have played around with the probe coordinates and the direction it probe but haven't had any luck. Ill also attach my config file too if that helps. Thanks in advance

As the message says. Your points are in anticlockwise order.

otislehawk

In that case I'm not sure what the correct order should be, right now I have it starting at the top left of the bed and moving, right, down, left, then center. but I've also tried it the other way starting at the bottom left of the bed.

dc42

If P0 to P1 is right and P1 to P2 is towards you, then you have a left hand coordinate system. Your prints will come out mirrored. Seen from above, the +Y direction must be 90 degrees anticlockwise from the +X direction.

@otislehawk This can be especially confusing with a moving bed as the bed travels in the opposite direction to what you'd expect in order to generate the correct relative motion of the nozzle.

@dc42 I looked again at my printer and I think I have it set up correctly but it's still not working, I'm attempting to modify a prusa mk2 if that helps future explaining. I took a look at it and from what I understand looking at it from the top the y-axis should move backwards when i click y+, which sounds correct based on your explanation.. looking at it from the front, Y+ moves the bed backwards, X+ moves the head right, and Z+ is Up. I also tried reversing the y-axis movement to see if that helps but I got the same error.
Sorry that I'm not catching on, this is my first printer build so I'm stumbling my way through it lol

dc42

That sounds correct, +X moves the head to the right and +Y moves the head away from you or the bed towards you.

But you have declared the probe points in the wrong order. They go anticlockwise around the bed. Try exchanging the coordinates of the P1 and P3 points. Or switch to mesh bed compensation, which is what we recommend now.

otislehawk

So if I used mesh bed compensation I don't have to worry about running the auto bed compensation? Because I've ran the mesh bed compensation a couple times, and it finishes correctly and then shows me the graph thing afterwards. And yeah I'll try playing around with the points again tonight.

@otislehawk Yes. Mesh compensation allows for finer adjustment than the older bed compensation. You still need to have as level a bed as possible (manually or using multiple Z motors depending on your setup), or a well calibrated delta printer if using a delta. See
