Solved Duet2 wifi setting bl touch z offset help.
-
So im running into an issue with the z offset on my ender 5 plus with bltouch. I got it printing beautifully and my only issue was a slightly too high first layer. (Getting gaps in my base layer) so i figured i just need to lower my z offset just a little. Im new to abl so i had to look up some guides on how to do it. So essentially im setting the z offset in the config to zero.. going to mid bed about 10mm z height. Sending g30... jogging down to a .1 feeler gauge... m92 z.1. Raising 10mm again ans sending g30 s-1... (its displayed around 2.15 every time)... gone into my config and changed the z offset to what my readout was.... and when i save and restart... after re-homing im always about 7.5mm off the print bed and z reads at 2.5mm. Ive even tried changing the offset to something crazy like 4.5 and it doest change.... im almost really wishing i just left the first layer as is... is there something im missing? Do i need to modif another one of my sys files to get the changes to stick? Do i need to make all the changes in the console instead of modifying the config file and saving?

Hi,
Well if it was too high then you needed to increase the probe Z trigger height setting.
I don't put my probe settings in config.g since I would then have to reboot the printer to use the new values.
I have a system file I created called configprobe.g which I can edit or run as needed. So in any place I need to be sure that probe is configured with the most current values I simply add the command M98 P"configprobe.g"

post your config overwrite

hmm its unlikely that your leadscrew is really that values. when you measured it it was most likely backlash that your measured.
-
Ill post the overwrite config when i get back from lunch.
But what did you mean to say about my thermistors? They look.... ?
And im not sure what you mean about measuring the backlash on the leadscrew?
Everything was printing perfectly before i tried to adjust the z offset. Temps were consistent and those are the step values after adjusting for a calibration cube. So it was printing spot on dimensions. Just had gaps in my first layer.

And im not sure what you mean about measuring the backlash on the leadscrew?
how did you arrive at your z steps?
for some info what backlash is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)But what did you mean to say about my thermistors? They look.... ?
every type of thermistor has a specific beta value.
this determines the resistance at a specific temperature.
if you are using the wrong value it might display 200C but the read temperature can easily be 20C off. -
most likely creality uses the same thermistors as the ender 3. see

I know what backlash is, im a machinist. Im just not sure what you mean by how it applies to measuring my z steps. I copied a friends config file and checked it against another persons ender 5 plus steps... both stock values were 80, 80, and 800... then mine is minus some for the calibration adjustment to land on 20mm height of a calibration cube. Like i said... other than the first layer... it was printing perfectly before i attempted to change the z offset.
ah... well for the thermistors... The whole sys config I got from a friends sys config files for a baseline. Ive copied his printer exactly (which is tuned and printing great). and just been tweaking to get mine dialed...but i mean when the bed and hotend are at idle it reads the exact room temperature in my house.... I'm not sure if that makes any difference but... again everything was printing perfectly... im even using the same temps for filaments that i use on my other printer and if anything im noticing better performance... but i have no idea about thermistor beta values so i dont really know.
anywho... here's my overwrite config.

but either way... you seem very knowledgeable about this sort of thing Whats the normal procedure for adjusting the z offset so i can tweak my first layer? do you have a link to any good guide? Thanks for all the replies and insight.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe
Once The probe and extruder are calibrated and the bed level, you can print a large first layer and adjust the z height with baby stepping to get it just right, then use that amount and modify the G31 Z offset by that amount. If it doesn't stay consistent then it's either the probe that is inconsistent or the bed/z axis isn't stable.

@Phaedrux Thanks so much man. Just reloaded my backup stock sys files and then plugged in my steps and used the info you sent. running like a champ now!
