      No need to run it in stages, you can use S6 or S8 from the start.

        Hi dc42

        Thanks! I have run it with 4 and have moved on to 6.

        How do I know if it is working? I get not feedback at all.

        Thanks
        Tim

          Feedback appears in the console section of the interface, either PanelDue or DWC, depending on where you ran it from.

            Hi
            Here's what I see after running G32

            3:42:51 PMM665
            Diagonal 360.200, delta radius 103.000, homed height 203.000, bed radius 85.0, X 0.000°, Y 0.000°, Z 0.000°

            3:43:04 PMM666
            Endstop adjustments X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%

            So, these parameters are what I entered in my config.g file. Nothing has been added / changed by running G32. Since it does not say if it was successful, or not, I don't know what to do with this information, and I don't know what steps to take next to understand why the effecter is moving down into the bed when I start to print.

            I am including the Config-override.g content again as I see nothing there to indicate any changes or overrides.

            ; This is a system-generated file - do not edit
            ; Delta parameters
            M665 L360.200 R103.000 H203.000 B85.0 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000
            M666 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 A0.00 B0.00
            ; Heater model parameters
            M307 H0 A90.0 C700.0 D10.0 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H1 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H2 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H3 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H4 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H5 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H6 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0
            M307 H7 A340.0 C140.0 D5.5 S1.00 V0.0 B0

            It would appear, then, (to me), that my configuration information is ok.

            Where do I go from here?

            Should I now be looking at bed levelling?

            Thanks
            Tim

              There should be a response from the G32 command, provided that the last G30 command in bed.g has the S parameter. Please share the bed.g file you used.

                  That looks OK to me. After probing the centre point, whichever device you sent the G32 command from should display the calibration result (on the Console page if it was sent from DWC or PanelDue). Something like this:

                  G32
                  Calibrated 8 factors using 16 points, deviation before 0.186 after 0.026

                    I started G32 from the duet display. (pushed on the keyboard picture, entered G32 and return) The machine goes through the process. At the end, the process stopped centered on the bed.

                    There was no text displayed in the little screen.

                    While running, the effector does not dive far enough to click the Effecter switch at every position. It clicks on most, but certainly not all.

                    I have cleared the log file in the browser

                    "1:01:18 PMG32
                    12:57:55 PMG32
                    12:57:47 PMMessage Log cleared!"

                    That's all I see.

                        I should have added above that I cleared the log before I ran G32 from the browser window.
                        Nothing shows. That's the version of the log that is displayed

                          @timvukman said in effector tilting into bed on print:

                          G30 P6 X0 Y0 H0 Z-99999 S6 ;Center

                          If it is probing all the points including the centre one at the end, then it looks like it isn't processing the S6 part of the final G30 command. So I suggest you try deleting and re-typing that line in case it contains a non-printing character. You could also try changing S6 to something non-sensical such as S20, which should provoke an error message

                            This is the result of clearing the log and running G32. Please note that the value in Bed.g for S in the last G30 is S30.

                            I have retyped the line

                              I deleted Bed.g. That was noticed! G32 would not run since the Macro was deemed missing

                                  I would appreciate so clarification on the G31 in Config.g
                                  Here is mine
                                  G31 P500 X11 Y0 Z-1.209

                                  I am clear on Z-1.209 as that is my actual trigger height at center
                                  I am clear on the P500 as that is the value of the Z probe for a mechanical switch

                                  I'm not so clear on the X and Y values. In reading the documentation here,
                                  https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_G30_Single_Z_Probe

                                  for the G31 code,

                                  "Xnnn Probe X offset(note)1
                                  Ynnn Probe Y offset(note)1

                                  Notes

                                  (note)1X and Y offsets of the Z probe relative to the print head (i.e. the position when the empty tool is selected) can be specified. This allows you to calculate your probe coordinates based on the geometry of the bed, without having to correct them for Z probe X and Y offset."

                                  I do not see how this functions. My understanding is that these values should identify the location of the actual switch relative to the nozzle since in my case, the nozzle contacts the bed to trip the switch.
                                  In my G31 above, is it not saying that my nozzle is 11mm closer to the X pillar than my switch is? This would make the switch think it is measuring a value for X0, Z0 when the nozzle is physically at X0, Y0. I'm going to have to measure the 11mm. I don't think it is correct and I don't know where it came from. I might be a number from the manufacturer.

                                    Yes. Conceptually correct.

                                    .

                                    Imagine a printer where the Z-Probe just triggered, and that the particular nozzle and Z-probe on our imaginary printer are mounted such that the probe triggers when the bed is 8.492mm below the nozzle, and the probe is mounted so that the probe's "sensor center" is 10mm in the plus X direction from the nozzle, and 5mm in the minus Y direction.

                                    That would result in:

                                    G31 X10 Y-5 Z-8.492

                                    If, in your case, the nozzle IS the probe, the G31 will probably look something like this:

                                    G31 X0 Y0 Z-0.1

                                    Zero for X and Y, because the nozzle is the probe. Z- because the nozzle has to move a tiny bit "up" to sense, thus making it as though "the sensor is mounted a fraction above the nozzle". -0.1 is a starting guess. It may be -0.05 or -0.15 or ...

                                      I watched it very carefully as something caught my eye while doing this so many times.

                                      The effector goes off to a spot between my X and Z columns and lowers, but not enough to trip the Z switch, and then it moves left to just past the Z column and dips down again without triggering. It then centers and triggers.

                                      I think it is doing the same thing 10 times and then stops.

                                      Do you think maybe I've got a couple of axis motors mixed up?

                                      I will check, but that is going to make me feel terrible if this has been for a dumb mistake.
                                      If that's the case, it would still home properly, right? and I could still set my trigger height?
                                      I'll update soon

                                        my columns are

                                         Z
                                        

                                        Y X

                                        Is this correct?

                                          Ok, The correct wires from the board go to the correct motors.

                                          Whew!!

                                            @timvukman said in effector tilting into bed on print:

                                            The effector goes off to a spot between my X and Z columns and lowers, but not enough to trip the Z switch, and then it moves left to just past the Z column and dips down again without triggering. It then centers and triggers.

                                            If you have deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files in /sys that you didn't create yourself, delete them.
