IR sensor and 2 differen Flexplate system surfaces

caviara

Good morning/day everyone,

I know it is a pretty newbie/stupid question, but can someone please point me in a direction on how to do a simple (or not so simple) thing:
Currently i have a Buildtak Flexplate system with two plates with different surfaces. First one is a Buildtak for general printing and the other one is using "Painters tape" for printing of flexibles and Nylon.

Is it possible to make some kind of macro that will change Z offset value depending on plate currently in use?

Printer is using Z-min end-stop for homing and IR sensor is used for bed leveling only.

Yes, you just need to have that macro set the G30 Z parameter to the trigger height for that build surface.

Thanks again for the ultra-fast response.

I thought about it but this will involve calling this macro before every print.
I was wondering is it possible to make it more permanent - like to change the value for good in config.g/config-overwrite.g from PanelDue (or something like this), until next macro is run?

you could do it via filement settings

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Filaments

create one for like
pla on buildtrack
and
pla on painters tape

add the settings in the filament config
and add
M703
to your start g code
