BL Touch Z Offset Problem

dezender

Ill Setup BLTouch using https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/7972/bl-touch-install-success
But the Offset will not be used the Nozzle always is more then 5mm over the bed.
Ill stored the M31 commands in config.cfg AND in config Override but if ill Use G1 Z0 after homing ist stay too high over the bed.

What is wrong?

Fixt it, the Value must be Positive instead negative

G31 X0 Y0 Z-3.495

to

G31 X0 Y0 Z3.495

Glad you figured it out.

Just a note though about your trigger height, when mounted correctly the base of the BLtouch should be ~8mm above the nozzle tip. This should lead to a trigger height of ~2mm. This ensures that the pin will clear the printed object when retracted, and that the pin will hit the bed and trigger before the nozzle does. It also ensures that the pin is in the sweet spot for trigger range.

Also don't forget to measure your X and Y offset. You can get some unintended consequences if you leave them out.

One last thing, your G31 is missing the P value for trigger sensitivity. Use P25.

I have a similar problem with my z offset... so far i have tried everything but nothing works. Nozel is still 2mm above build plate. Jason Znack suggested that my home configurations are faulty. is it because i removed my z axis trigger, or is there anything else wrong. config files seamed to be ok so far as i can tell.

@4thddoughnut Please start a new thread for your issue. Please also include some useful information, for example as described here: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5909/guide-for-posting-requests-for-help eg printer description, Duet hardware, firmware version, config.g, homeall.g as a minimum. This should mean that your issue can be solved quickly.
