Endstop compensation

dc42

The problem is that even without any compensation in the config.g file I can see my printer making this compensation after homing (X doesn't move while Y and Z go further).

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this. Please explain.

Hello,

If I'm correct, the homing works in 3 steps on delta printer : full speed to the top until reaching the endstop, go down and then up at lower speed until reaching endstop again and, finally, all carriages go down a bit more (it's 5mm by default in the home.g file if I'm right).

At this point the compensation is done by modifing carriage's position (if compensation is X0, Y1 and Z3 the X carriage wont move, the Y carriage will go 1mm down and the Z will go 3mm).

My problem is that even without any compensation I can see that my printer does this "correction" after homing (X stay at his initial position but Y and Z go down), it's not "a little movement", it's something more like 1 or 2 mm.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough and I hope this will help you understand what's going on.

Don't mind to ask again if it's not clear (I'm not that good with english when it happends to explain this kind of stuff ).

Thank you for your support.

Axel.

The tower angle adjustments (X and Y parameters in the M665 command) will also cause the centre position to be adjusted. So try clearing those out too.

Hello,

it didn't work either, M665 X,Y and Z are deleted and M666 X, Y and Z values are clear :

M665 L269.000 R164.761 H299.868 B140.0
M666 X0 Y0 Z0 A0.00 B0.00

do you have any idea what goes wrong ?

once again, thank you for your help.

Please post your homedelta.g file.

It should end with a "G1 X0 Y0" move. If you comment that line out, what XY coordinates does DWC report, and what M665 and M666 parameters does it report?

AV13091

Hello,

you're right, it's the "G1 X0 Y0" move that make this !

when it's line out DWC report me X9,5 Y-0,5
M665 report me (...), X 1.075°, Y 1.130°, Z 0.000° and
M666 Endstop adjustments X-0.34 Y0.74 Z-0.40, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%.

It's amazing, thank you for your help !

If you have the time to, could you explain me why it does this ?

once again, thank you for your assistance and your patience.

@av13091 said in Endstop compensation:

when it's line out DWC report me X9,5 Y-0,5
M665 report me (...), X 1.075°, Y 1.130°, Z 0.000° and
M666 Endstop adjustments X-0.34 Y0.74 Z-0.40, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%.

So you didn't reset the endstop adjustments and tower angles to zero after all. Could it be that you have two sets of M665 and M666 parameters in config.g and you only changed the first one?

AV13091

Sorry, it's my bad, I just realised i did an auto calibration before sending this to you (I can print little part without problem even if my bed is not well calibrate).

So in my config.g file it's well put to zero :

M665 L269.000 R164.761 H299.868 B140.0
M666 X0 Y0 Z0 A0.00 B0.00

sorry for the mistake,

Axel.

OK, what do M665 and M666 report after homing if you don't auto calibrate, and what are the XY coordinates when you don't execute the G1 X0 Y0 in homedelta.g ?

AV13091

Without any auto calibration i got
DWC report : X9 and Y0
M665 : Diagonal 269.000, delta radius 164.761, homed height 299.868, bed radius 140.0, X 0.000°, Y 0.000°, Z 0.000°
M666 : Endstop adjustments X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%

The X9 is wrong, unless you have a tool offset configured in config.g. Please post your entire config.g file.

AV13091

Hello,

I use an offset for my extruder, well see ! (I have a chimera with only one extruder for now, I plan to mount the second in a few week).
As you expected their is an offset of X=9, what a coincidence !

As you've ask for, here is my config.g :

If I'm right I have to make it X=0 in my tool section ?

So the "compensation" that you reported is caused by the firmware bringing your offset nozzle to be above bed centre. This is as expected, if you have Tool 0 selected when you home the printer. If you do not have a tool selected (for example, you send T-1 before homing), then it will not centre the nozzle.

Hello,

thank you for your help, I wouldn't find this out without you !

Have a good day,

Axel.
