Probing grid
-
I still haven't gotten my head around how the boundry's are sett in the probing grid, as to how thing corespond with eachother.
A little preliminary info about my printer:
Firmware 2.03RC4
Physical boundaries on my printer is X: -8 to 338 Y:-21 to 323
Build surface being X: 0 to 328 Y: 0 to 323
My Z-probe offset is X: 38 and Y4If i set a probing grid to "M557 X5:300 Y5:323 S58" i get a error at each of the "last" probing points it should have done in the X axis saying it can't reach it. And thats X:295, why does it think it can't reach that? I can't wrap my head around this.

try
M557 X38:300 Y5:319its complaining about the first point X5 which it cant reach because of the offset of 38

No it don't complain about the first point, its the last ones at X298 it whines about lol
If i do that it will probe the first probe point 38mm in on the X axis, and that isn't much good?
I want the bastard to probe as much as possible of the bed, like the pysical limitations of where the Probe can reach the bed is X0:300 Y0:319 so i want it to probe something like 5mm from the bed edge at max/min? -
can you post your config.g

Haha, i just meassured the Z-probe offset again, and it's time for me to take a break or somehting.
The correct offeset it X38 Y-1.2
Think it's beer-o'clock now.And i've put M208 to X338 in the printer btw, forgot to say that later.
But i think i read somewhere in the Dozuki that probing points is allowed outside the max/min?
-
Ok so now i srsly can't understand carp.
I've reconfigrued the config.g to this:
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch M558 P9 H5 F600 T7200 S0.05 B1 R0.1 A5 ; Set Z probe type to BLTouch, dive height, G31 P287 X38.2 Y-1.2 Z1.5 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M280 P7 S150 ; Set Logic voltage Free Zmin (3.3V) M557 X43:338 Y4:323 S45 ; Define probing gridAnd what happens now when the printer is homed on all axis is that the probe moves so slow to the first probing spot that the bed catches up and it rams the printhead.
If i first home all axis, send Z to 390 and then issue G29 the bed hotend/probe just snailpace out and the bed catches up with it. So i have to do an Emergency stop.
Then i tried homing all axis, move the probe/printhad to X43 Y 4. With the bed at Z 380, and when i issue G29 it start snailpacing the printhead backwards to home position while the bed meets up??
Like i initialy said, i can't understand how this is meant to work at this point.

post your homeall.g

post your homeall.g
I updated the previous post just 1 second after your reply btw!
Here is my homeall.g
G91 ; Relative positioning G1 Z3 F2000 S2 ; Lower Z(bed) 3mm relative to current position G1 S1 X-341 Y-354 F3000 ; Move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass/coarse home) G1 S1 X-341 ; Home X axis G1 S1 Y-354 ; Home Y axis G1 X5 Y5 F2000 ; Go back a few mm G1 S1 X-341 F360 ; Move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass/fine home) G1 S1 Y-354 ; Then move slowly to Y axis endstop (second pass/fine home) G90 ; Absolute positioning G1 X44 Y5 F3500 ; Go to first bed probe point and home Z G30 ; Home Z by probing the bed G1 S1 X-341 ; Home X axis G1 S1 Y-354 ; Home Y axis G90 ; Absolute positioning G1 Z5 F6000 ; Lower Z(bed) 5mm from NozzleWhen i'm sitting here pulling my hair out i start thinking, i haven't got the X/Y offset inverted?
Like it should be G31 P287 X-38.2 Y1.2 Z1.5 ??
The probe is to closer to X0 than the nozzle and farther away from Y0 than the nozzle.

- if to the left of hotend + to the right
also in your homing script you dont need anything after G30
-
Yeah then X-38.2 and Y1.2 should be correct shouldn't it?
If i want to move the printhead away from the printhead after homing Z i do have to have something after G30. Which i do
-

kind of hard to tell without a picture.
-
Have to do that tomorrow, if i don't walk away from the printer now shit might start hitting the
fan.But, to put it this way: When i move the printer to X43.2 Y3.8 the probe is 5mm from the edge in both directions.
-
Refering to the G31 section in the Dozuki:
"X 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.".
If i understand correct this means that with the G31 setup correct and the printer have room for the movement, that the firmware will compensate for the z-probe offset. Right?
So if i put X5 Y5 in the M557 first PROBE spot ie. the PROBE position, not the nozzle wil be 5:5? In that case it must be a bug somewhere, because thats not my printers doing at all.
-
I'm not exactly sure how it's supposed to work but for my grid I choose the x y coordinates of where the probe can reach, not the nozzle.
-
@phaedrux
Yeah i have no problem with that being the way it should work either, but if i define x43.2:305.2 Y3.8:321.8 in M557 it still don't move hotend to that spot before it starts the probing (like i mention farther up it just moves in a snailspace outwards and the bed crashes in the hotend).So somethings either bugged in the firmware, or i have an error or something conflicting in my codes somewhere š¤®
-
That's definitely odd sounding behavior for the mesh compensation. How are you starting the g29?
If you switch back to 2.02 does it behave the same ? -
@exerqtor said in Probing grid:

Probing using G30 commands (for example, in bed.g for delta calibration or true bed levelling) outside the area defined by M208 is allowed. Grid probing is constrained to keep the head reference point within the M208 area.
