Problem using bed leveling
-
Hello guys, been at this for 3 days and can't make it out.
I've set up a Ender 3 Pro with a Duet 3 6HC. (Cartesian)
Using a Escher 3D Mini IR Probe.
activated probe, works well. I get a fairly decent height map. (max difference is .2mm)
But for some reason, when I print, I cannot get the print to be level all the way around. Like the print doesn't compensate for the heightmap differences.
I have my homeall.g set as:
G91 ; relative mode
G1 H2 Z4 F200 ; raise head 4mm
G1 H1 X-250 Y-240 F3000 ; move up to 250mm in the -X and -Y directions until the homing switches are triggered
G1 H2 X4 Y4 F600; move slowly 6mm in +X and +Y directions
G1 H1 X-10 Y-10 ; move up to 10mm in the -X and -Y directions until the homing switches are triggered
G90 ; back to absolute mode
G1 X118 Y118 F3000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe
G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger height
G29 S1
; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z2.5 F150 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioningMy prints (using Prusa Slicer) has a G28 in the start gcode to homeall. The G29 S1 is in the homeall.g
I made a test print of 9 circles and they seem to be like the height map. I have a good one, and some others are too squished, some are too high. Same thing as if it ignores the height map. I thought it was supposed to compensate and make the prints all the same height at different spots on the bed? On the original card, I had Manual mesh bed levelling and it worked fairly well (much better than what I have now).
Any pointers?
Oh, using:
Duet 3 6HC
Escher 3D mini IR probe
Firmware 3.01RC10
DWC 2.1.5You can see in the attache picture that the front ones are super squished, the back ones are ok.

Here's my height map if that helps..

I suspect that your bed surface isn't playing nice with the IR probe. It could be the white speckle pattern. Try putting a sheet of matte paper on the surface and re probing the mesh. The glass should be much flatter than that.
-
I tried to probe without the glass on and it is all super straight (all green) so yes, my glass (Creality glass) is causing a weird pattern.
But still, shouldn't my printer compensate for these differences?
I'm seeing the exact same issue that this user does:

Just in case, here's my bed.g, homeall.g, config.g, config-override.g

I till sand down the speckled face after dinner and repaint it black then report back! thanks
