Manual home z for different tools
-
Hey there,
got the duet installed on a cr10-s4.
I've modified it with inter-changeable tools with different heights.
Was wondering how to manually home Z ?
cheers,
CJ

Set the probe type to M558 P0 to use manual Z probing. It will pop up a dialogue to jog the tool to Z0 whenever a G30 or G29 probe call is made.

M558
After I set the Z with the dialog box (G30) - if I hit "home all" the Z looses its settings.
Any way to avoid that?
I want the XY to home and the Z to maintain its 'manually-set' home z..
Should I avoid the home all and just do a macro for that?
-
I don't understand what you mean by loses its settings?
-
Can you post you homeall.g file?
-
OH OK ,
Didn't realize I should change the home files....
works like a charm now.thanks!
-
so something weird...
I ran a file and it seems that the Z is off... I thought maybe there's a z offset which is causing it but the offset is set to 0.
it looks like when file runs the tool is about 15mm too high.
I checked the slicer and there's offsets or scripts (as far as i noticed) that could cause it.
I manually homed the z and ran the file.
isn't that suppose to do the trick? should I add an offset tool of the z to compensate for something that I'm missing here?
any thoughts?
-
Can you please post your config file and homing files? It's hard to know what's actually happening without seeing them.

; G1 S1 Z-405 F2500 ; move Z down stopping at the endstop
G90 ; absolute positioning
G92 Z0 ; set Z to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)In homeall.g you are missing a G30 command to do a probe and then you are using G92 to force Z0, so no z homing is actually being done. Remove the G92 Z0 and add a G30.

so I should both in homeall and homez the G30 and G92 Z0 commands?

ok cool.
so I should have the G90 after xy homing and then the G30. what happened to the G92 ?
-
G90 sets it to absolute position mode so we can position X and Y so that the nozzle is the center of the bed. I use G1 X200 Y200, but you'll have to modify that to make it your actual bed center.
Then G30 will probe the bed, which in your case is manually, so it should pop up a dialogue to jog the nozzle to the bed surface. When you press ok on that dialogue, it will set Z0 position for you.
You don't need G92 to force set the Z height, because G30 is doing that for you.
-
aha, yeah that makes sense.
regarding the babyz step :
I'm using a ceramic extruder with a wide nozzle and high layer height - that's why higher babysteps - probably i'll change it to 0.25mm.
thanks !
