Not Homing correctly At all. and nozzle issues
-
Can you post a photo of the hotend?
Is there something in direct physical contact with the heat block?
Is the fan blowing directly on the block without a silicone sock?
Perhaps the Ender 5 Plus is using a different thermistor than other creality hotends and your thermistor values are completely off. -
@Phaedrux hello can you please help me solve this issue so my ender 5 plus has 2 Zmotors and when I run G32 it doesn't compensate or level the bed very well it still off from corner to corner so I found that I need to set an independent Zmotors to get auto bed leveling up and running I connected first Z motor LeftSide to Z-drive and the second one right side to E1 I spent days reading the duet form but it's not working for me or I have no clue what I'm doing, if you please point me in the right direction that would be highly appreciated

You will connect one Z motor to the Z1 (drive 2), put the jumpers back in the second port. Then connect the other Z motor to the E1 (drive 4)
For bed.g you'll also have to find the points to probe with G30
G28 ; home M401 ; deploy Z probe (omit if using bltouch) G30 P0 X20 Y100 Z-99999 ; probe near a leadscrew, half way along Y axis G30 P1 X180 Y100 Z-99999 S2 ; probe near a leadscrew and calibrate 2 motors M402 ; retract probe (omit if using bltouch)The G30 P1 will likely be further to the right on your larger bed so adjust the CX position accordingly.
-
Thank you very much for all your help. I will make these adjustments tomorrow, but how can I find points in M671 coordinates of my own bed measuring, is their sort of documentation can explain how to find the coordinate positions of my bed. thank you again
-
You just need to choose a point close to the lead screw but still on the bed and both need to be in line on the Y axis.

THANK YOU. it worked and I found my correct bed coordinate points. do I have to change any config for my BLtouch current settings are
Z-Probe
M558 P9 H2 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z2 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X5:350 Y5:350 S50 ; define mesh grid
I have version 3 -
The dive height is a little low. It should be at least a mm more than the trigger height. Try M558 H3
Also change G31 P500 to G31 P25
Have you calibrated our probe and measured the offsets yet?

so I have adjusted all the settings accordingly here's a photo of the hight map
so I don't if that's ok or it should be 0 all the way I tried to print a file 340 x 340 and it looks like it's not adjusting probably. here's my updated file config.g; Configuration file for Duet Maestro (firmware version 2.03)

G29 S1I don't know if i have to enable some settings to run hight map while it prints maybe from slicer or from DWC. thank you for all your help
-
when I run G32 here's the message I get
does that meat its successfully calibrated. -
also here's the message when I run G29.
please let me know if that looks good sorry I know I have been asking you a lot. Thanks again -
Print a test file like this one with mesh enabled and again disabled. You should be able to tell if it's being applied correctly.
-
Yes I did what you told me and it looks like its not working properly. Any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
-
@moe-adams9093 What slicer are you using? Please post your start GCode from your slicer.

G31 P25 X0 Y0 Z1.758
You need to measure your X and Y probe offset otherwise the corrections will be off in X Y position.
The heightmap itself looks ok. After measuring the offset redo the G29 and reprint the test file to see if it's behaving better.
-
Thank you for the additional information so my x offset is 44mm and the y offset is -5mm but when I try to run mesh compensation its starting from 44 to 285 and my actual build volume is 350 x 350 so please correct me on that one am I loosing that left over space since it only probing from 44 to 285. Also when I checked my old configuration from the original bord it says offest x0 y0 z1.78 so I don't if that does matter or not. Please let me know thank you
