Mesh compensation and tool changer
-
Hi!
Today I have strange issue with mesh compensation, yesterday probing before printing worked well, and this morning I had this when I'd prob my bed before printing, and probing finish with this this message:Warning: the height map has a substantial Z offset. Suggest use Z-probe to establish Z=0 datum, then re-probe the mesh. 16 points probed, min error -0.465, max error -0.102, mean -0.279, deviation 0.103 Height map saved to file 0:/sys/heightmap.csv
But if I using mesh compensation manually on the dashborad all is ok:
I had investigated but no find the reason of this issue. I using RRF3.1.1, and maybe that is linked with other strange issue I have where my printer arm try to catch my tool0 at old place at first execution of it and catch at right place at second execution of the script. I had posted some days ago about this issue her https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/16740/bug-moving-to-ghost-position
Her some files can help you to help me and my start script in Simplify3D, thx!

I juste find some thing, I can have this issue with manual mod, I explain me. When start my printer and home all and execute mesh compensation all is good, but after if I execute my macro like tpost0.g and try again to start mesh compensation I have same issue than when I start printing and probing before printing.
The problem is locate in tpost0.g but I dont know where.; tpost0.g ; called after firmware thinks Tool0 is selected ; Note: tool offsets are applied at this point!

I had do new step in identification of issue. When I manually execute this sequence I haven't problem mesh compensation work well:
1 - power on print
2 - Home all
3 - tpost0.g(macro)
4 - Mesh compensationBut when I execute manually this sequence I have issue
1 - power on print
2 - Home all
3 - tpost0.g(macro)
4 - Home all
5 - Mesh compensationIssue is locate at second Home all juste after my arm catch tool0.

I have fond where is issue but dont understand what it appear now.
When I worked to my tpost0.g at begin of configuration of my tool changer I needed to add M564 S0 for allow my printer arm to catch tool0 outside of limits of my bed to make some thing more clean I had added M564 S1 to activate again limits, after that when I tried to printing one problem is appear where my DC42 IR prob dont allow me to printing correctly because the offset not be able to going more dow the the IR prob zone detection, in this case I had removed M564 S1 at end of my tpost0.g and all worked find.
Now to resolve my issue I had added again M564 S1 at end of my tpost0.g, but I had also added M564 S0 at end of homeall.g and now it's work like a charm. But what the problem coming today I dont know
