Duet 3 BLTouch probing issues
-
to me it sound like a problem with the bltouch, but non i have seen before.
is there a different probe you can test? like a capacitive sensor or something? -
i have an IR sensor i could pull off another printer if need be. That is it otherwise they are all BLtouches.
-
want me to pull it and try to set it up?
-
unless someone else has another idea, i would try the ir probe.
-
what if i just hot glue a micro switch on the bottom so it triggers? would that be the simplest?
-
@Vampora
that would also work as a simple probe -
i think i will try that. I dont really want to pull apart my other printer to get to the IR if i dont have to.
-
is there a best in class probe that is highly recommended that for sure works with this system? It has to work with a mag bed though.
-
i am personally not a big fan of the bltouch.
on my ender 3 i use this (more reliable than the bltouch)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3303618the new SuperPINDA probe from prusa looks interesting.
if your bed supports the ir probe, that would be a good choice.
but first lets establish that the bltouch is the problem.

so funny thing..... i just finished printing that was going to order servos

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3303618Interesting, I will try one of these for something to do, and 5 minutes rooting around in a part bin yielded all the required goodies...!!!

this switch does exactly the same thing as the bltouch. All -5.000
-
even the switch gives this error occasionally
G29
Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move -
also probe test with switch
Are we at the definition of insanity yet?

hmm very strange.
to rule out a bad port, can you switch to io5?
-
i am on io4
-
i am out of real ideas why that is happening.
what firmware version are you running on the 3hc?
-
3.1.0 it came up as
-
lol it might be time to try to hire someone to do this for me. I never had issues before, but this thing is just kicking my butt.
-
Am I allowed to commission someone on here? Or put a bounty up? For real though I am debating it at this point.
