Delta calibration issue

[madmattco]

Moved away from the nozzle probe and have installed an ir sensor. but effector still dances around like its lost.
Here is a video.

If you hold something up to the probe, do you see the value in DWC change?

What is your config.g G31? For example, mine is:

G31 P1000 X0 Y0 Z18.14 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

My X and Y are zero because I run probe that attaches directly below the nozzle. My Z is 18.14 because my probe is below the nozzle. With your kind of probe, there MUST be some values in X and Y, representing the distance between the nozzle and the probe. You may also need a little bit of positive or negative Z, depending on how 'high' the probe is mounted in relation to the nozzle. Note: If you X and Y are not right, the probe will go off the bed, like at the end of your video.

@danal

; Z-Probe
M558 P1 H10 F120 T9000 ; Set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X1 Y-32 Z1.0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 R110 S20 ; Define mesh grid

[madmattco]

Yes my z-probe value will change with distance

Delete your old deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files from the /sys folder on the SD card.

@dc42

Thank you. That worked. What do I need to set to have the auto calibration figure out everything to get as specific as possible with the machine parameters?

@dc42 For some odd reason, it thinks my rod length is 1159.094mm

[dc42]

Use 6- or 8-factor calibration, so that it doesn't adjust the rod length. Check that your steps/mm is set correctly.

@dc42 ty again sir! shes choochin proper now
