        Hi there,

        I just installed the mini IR probe. Mounting and cables was no problem.

        Now, i have a problem to set the trigger height.
        I followed those manuals:

        https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe
        https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/mini-height-sensor-board/

        home Z -> M564 S0 -> moving slowly -Z until paper is gripped -> G92 Z0 -> move Z10 -> G30 S-1

        i get a trigger height of 0.46 to 0.48mm. i put this in the G31 command as seen here:

        Endstops
        M574 X1 Y1 S0
        Z-Probe
        M574 Z1 S2
        M558 P1 H5 F120 T6000
        G31 P500 X0 Y50 Z-0.45
        M557 X10:230 Y10:210 S20

        The problem is, that after homing, i have again an offset of -0.45mm.
        home Z, paper is loose, Z-0.45 per baby stepping paper fixed by the nozzle.

        Should i try a G92 Z0.45 in the homeZ/homeall.g files?

          @torro A negative trigger value would usually only apply to contact nozzle probes that actually touch the bed to trigger.

          Try G31 Z0.45.

          You should be homing Z with a G30 movement in your homeall.g. Do not use a G92 Z0.45 The G30 will determine your height.

            seems to work thanks a lot!

            now, i have to figure out, where i need to change that (macros etc...)

            one last question (for today... 😉 )
            after G30, the bed moves to Z5.45
            why? i think i know, where .45mm comes from, but who adds 5mm more?

              @torro Post your homing files.

              The extra 5 is probably your dive height from M558. After probing it returns to this height. The 0.45 is your trigger height, because that's the distance from the bed when it triggered.

              To verify your height from the bed, send the nozzle slowly to Z0 at the same XY position the G30 was done. The nozzle should stop just touching the bed.

              If the nozzle is too high or too low, adjust the Z height in small increments until it's just touching. Now you can use that value to fine tune your G31 Z offset.

                Hi,

                this is homeall.g

                G91 ; relative positioning
                G1 S1 X-300 Y-300 F5000 ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass)
                G1 S1 X-206 ; home X axis
                G1 S1 Y-300 ; home Y axis
                G1 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
                G1 S1 X-206 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
                G1 S1 Y-206 ; then move slowly to Y axis endstop
                G1 S1 Z-300 F3000 ; move Z down stopping at the endstop
                G1 Z4 F200 ; move slowly 4mm in the +Z direction
                G30 X120 Y110
                G90 ; absolute positioning

                  Hi,

                  i have problems to get the compensation to work.

                  i created the heightmap

                  0_1547722934640_heightmap.jpg

                  added a G92 S1 to the start script of s3d

                  M106 P0 S0 ; Stop Part Cooling Fan
                  G28 ; home all axes
                  G29 S1 ; load heightmap
                  G91 ; relative mode
                  G1 E52 F400 ; Fill Nozzle
                  G90 ; absolute Mode
                  M572 D0 S0.1 ; Pressure advance

                  and get this result:

                  0_1547722995932_image.jpg

                  you can see that it´s somehow similar. i have no idea what to do next.

                  config.g:

                  ; Drives
                  M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 goes forwards
                  M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
                  M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
                  M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
                  M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; Configure microstepping with interpolation
                  M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z160 E420.00 ; Set steps per mm
                  M566 X900.00 Y900.00 Z12.00 E120.00 ; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
                  M203 X20000.00 Y20000.00 Z4000.00 E4000.00 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)
                  M201 X1000.00 Y1000.00 Z1000.00 E10000.00 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2)
                  M906 X800.00 Y800.00 Z800.00 E800.00 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
                  M84 S300 ; Set idle timeout

                  ; Axis Limits
                  M208 X0 Y-1 Z0 S1 ; Set axis minima
                  M208 X240 Y222 Z278 S0 ; Set axis maxima

                  ; Endstops
                  M574 X1 Y1 S0 ; Set active high endstops

                  ; Z-Probe
                  M574 Z1 S2
                  M558 P1 H5 F120 T6000 A3
                  G31 P500 X0 Y50 Z0.4
                  M557 X20:220 Y70:220 S20

                  homeall.g
                  G91 ; relative positioning
                  G1 S1 X-300 Y-300 F5000 ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass)
                  G1 S1 X-206 ; home X axis
                  G1 S1 Y-300 ; home Y axis
                  G1 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
                  G1 S1 X-206 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)

                  G90 ; absolute positioning
                  G30 X120 Y110 <- That´s NOT working it probes at X/Y min

                    You better send probe to X120 Y110 by G1, so
                    G1 X120 Y110
                    G30

                      done & works! thanks

                      i took the G29 S1 out of the start script. before starting the print, i activated the mesh per DWC "compensation&calibration". so it says "compensation in use:mesh"

                      i printed a cube with 180x180mm and observed the z motors. they stand still.

                        tried this start script:

                        M106 P0 S0 ; Stop Part Cooling Fan
                        G28 ; home all axes
                        G29
                        G91 ; relative mode
                        G1 E52 F400 ; Fill Nozzle
                        G90 ; absolute Mode

                        same problem, the first layer looks like on the picture above.
                        DWC says "mesh in use"

                          Well, seems we have to start from basic: what version of firmware you use?

                                  it´s the same. left side (Ymin) so close, that there is no layer, right side (Ymax) so far away, that the layer doesn´t stick to the bed

                                    Try reducing the Z acceleration from 1000 to 100. I wonder if it's trying to compensate but trying to move too quickly and not moving at all due to binding.

                                    Does the Z axis move properly otherwise?

                                      Z axis works fine.
                                      tested with acceleration 100, same behavior

                                          @torro One other variable we can control for is that you're using DWC 2. Just incase it's causing an issue, try reverting to the last main release 1.22.6.

                                          I'm doubtful it's the problem since running M122 shows mesh is active.

                                          If that doesn't work I think I would re-run the G29 fresh and print immediately afterwards to see if there was maybe just a problem with the old heightmap.

                                            that´s already tested.
