Z (as reported by M114) increases by ~0.02mm with X or Y home command
-
Almost have my Duet Wifi printing on my newly built Voron CoreXY. I'm running Firmware Version: 1.18beta1 (2017-02-21). Was leveling my bed when I noticed that every time I home X, Z increases by 0.02 or 0.03mm. Then I tried homing Y, and that increases Z by 0 or 0.01mm after every Y home. Here's the trend, with 10mm being the base Z (to make sure the Z end stop is not involved):
Here are the Z heights as I home X 10 times:
10
10.02
10.05
10.07
10.10
10.12
10.15
10.17
10.20
10.22
10.25From the pattern it looks like Z is increasing 0.025mm each time I home X.
Y is similar but the error introduced is smaller:
10
10
10.01
10.01
10.01
10.01
10.02
10.02
10.02
10.02
10.03
10.03It looks like Z increases by 0.0025 every time I home Y.
Here are my X and Y homing scripts:
; X axis homing file for dc42 Duet firmware
G91 ; relative mode
G1 Z4.0 F6000 ; raise head to avoid dragging nozzle over the bed
G1 X-240 F2000 S1 ; move up to 240mm in the -X direction, stopping if the homing switch is triggered
G1 X2 F2000 ; move slowly 2mm in the +X direction
G1 X-10 F 360 S1 ; move slowly 10mm in the -X direction, stopping at the homing switch
G90 ; absolute mode
G1 X0 F2000 ; Move head to 0 to get it over the bed (actual home position is slightly negative)
G91 ; relative mode
G1 Z-4.0 F6000 ; lower the head again

Are you using either bed compensation or orthogonal axis compensation?

Ah…you're right. Problem occurs only after I do an Auto Bed Compensation. Before I do an ABC there's no creeping Z error.

Just saw that this is a known issue:

You may find it fixed in 1.18beta3.
