Triple z axis bed tramming
-
Alright, so now with that in mind, lead screw positions in M671 correct, M208 axis limits correct, probe offset correct, motor order matches.. that leaves us with the points in bed.g and my original question.
Are the points defined in your bed.g trying to place the probe as close to the lead screws as possible?
A good way to check would be to move your print head such that the probe is as close as possible to the first lead screw, then use that current head position as the point to probe, repeat for the other lead screws.
-
@Phaedrux those are exact. I couldn’t probe them.
-
Can you post your homeall?
When you run G32 does it home correctly and then move to the first point?
Does the probe work otherwise?

Probe works. G32 command only goes near the 0,0 and then just stops.

@Phaedrux found part of the issue. The z motors were not mapped correctly in the bed.g. Fixed that. Now it homes all. Then goes back the home x and y and tries to probe which is off the bed.

G92 Z5This is a problem. You're first using the probe to find Z0, but then you're also homing using an endstop, and then forcing the Z position to Z5. Remove those last 3 lines to maintain the probed Z position, otherwise you're bound to have an offset from where it thinks the bed is and where the bed actually is. Use the probe to home Z. That's what it's meant for.

As I said before, jog your print head such that the probe is where you want it to probe, the XY coordinates of the head at that point is what you want to use in the bed.g points.

That's the assigned motors for Z
Is that not the correct way to put it ?

No, in this context G30 P is the number of the point to probe
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_G30_Single_Z_Probe
You're probing 3 points and doing 3 point correction, so use p1 p2 p3
-
@Phaedrux Ok changed that. It goes to all 3 points now and probes but then says error: 3 points expected 0 probed.
G32
Error: Bed calibration : 3 factor calibration requested but only 0 points provided -
@Phaedrux Should I change Defining my mesh to less points ?
-
Mesh is different. That's G29 and M557. Not related to independent leveling.
My mistake. It should be P0 for the first point and not P1. So P0 P1 P2
There is quite literally an example here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors#Section_Example_for_3_motors
-
@Phaedrux That did it. Now I have an error saying it exceed limits lol. That I can work on.
Thank you so much for your help and patience. -
-
@Phaedrux Did that. Thanks again. Do you know if I can plug a webcam into the SBC ?
-
Yes you can plug an webcam into the SBC but it won't automatically show up in the DWC. I think you'd need it to work as a network streaming webcam and then point DWC to the stream url.
