Dual Z setup help
-
ok i have read the dozuki on bed lvling with multiple independent z motors and its very vague on how to do it and im having a hard time even figuring out how to setup 3.0. Is there a walk through on how to set it up especially on 3.0 and newer?
-
there is no difference here from rrf2 to rrf3.
start with connecting two z motors by changing the M584 command.
if you have everything working for that move on to define the M671 command and the bed.g file.what command are you unclear about or need help?
-
Its not the commands its the setup. I understand i need to configure most of it by hand i was just hoping there was a clearer walk through of setting dual z up. So far i have gotten E0 seen as z2 and they workish together i think i need to add E0 to the z probe endstop list so it will stop z and E0. Really most of the gcode im not sure of. im mainly cobbling together what i can and trying and going forward if it works and back if it doesnt.
-
you either need 2 endstops for each z motor, or your replace the z endstop with a probe.
the second is the better option because then the levelling is based on your actual bed.
do you have a probe?
-
yeah i have a bltouch and sofar ive gotten the location its at compared to the hotend and the trigger distance setup.
-
post your current config.g

your bed is not configured correctly B4138 is not correct for an ender they use epocs 100k

I have a tronxy x5sa pro i wish i had an ender lol. Ill check to see if the bed setting is wrong but sofar its printed like that just fine so far. Well except for the lifting i get with large prints. The stock setting is exactly what i have for lead screws and motor. And when i tell it to move 10mm it moves 10 mm so id say it is the right setting. But ill check.

tronxy x5sa
according to marlins config
https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations/blob/import-2.0.x/config/examples/Tronxy/X5SA/Configuration.hthats also a epcos 100k
-
1 : 100k thermistor - best choice for EPCOS 100k (4.7k pullup)
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1
-
-
ah ok never thought to look at marlin for the configs. ill set that up then and see how it works. and you where right about the 4000 i measured with my calipers and it was off. im sorry i doubted you on those.
-
Well so far im getting way to frustrated with 3. Im gonna stick with 2 for now.
-
what bit are you still struggling with?
-
I think its me but i cant seem to get 3 to work with my printer. It doesnt seem to like the e3d hotend or the bltouch or the bed. Ive being working on trying to get 3 to work for about 42 hours and cant seem to get off first base. so im gonna stick with what i know. The only thing is the dang z motors cant seem to stay in sync too well.

are all 3 motors the same model?
-
@Veti all of the motors are the exact same model. They are all tronxy SL42STH40-1684A-23 motors. 1.8* motors with belts or .8 pitch lead screws or a 7.3 hobb on the extruder motor. I think that most of my troubles are either the download that im getting from the configurator for the firmware update is not completely downloaded or the file coming from the server is not complete which is causing my issues with 3 not working 100% heck i cant even update my firmware to the latest 2.05 im stuck on 2.03 for some odd reason.

what is the error you are getting?
-
Just after i got your question veti i tried the update again and got this error its this one every time too. M997 S0
Error: M997: In-application programming binary "iap4e.bin" not found -

just upload this file to the duet. it contains all the required files. you dont even need to unpack it

@Veti thank you that worked like a charm.
