HELP WITH HEIGHT MAP HAS SUBSTANTIAL Z OFFSET WARNING

[Veti]

thats because you modified the homez and removed the H2 part

[Jaw8850]

@Veti
Thank You!!!!!!!!! I truly appreciate your help. Now I have a baseline I can build from. PID tune in progress

[Jaw8850]

@Veti
OK, I have re-run PID tuning on bed 1st then hotend. I have trimmed down my config files I believe. I am running G32 which homes all then probes center then probes each side lead screws. I then run G1 X137 Y156 Z5 to move the print head to the center of the bed. I then run G30 to get a zero value followed by G29. When done my mesh is a mess and the original z in the center of the bed is WAY BELOW 0, like -.962. any ideas what may cause this? I am running a mini IR probe and probing each spot 5 times with an S value of 0. I am probing a black textured pei sheet.

Can you show a photo of your bed surface?

Was it working at all before you updated from 2.05?

Taking a look at your latest files now.

[Phaedrux]

I notice you have S0 in your M558. Delete that. The default is 0.03 and I don't think 0 is a valid way to use it.

Can you also post the results of M122 and M98 P"config.g"?

[Phaedrux]

By the way, if you're using stall detection for X and Y you really only need to make a single pass. A slower second pass makes no sense in this context since a good stall needs a short sharp shock.

M913 X50 Y50 Z50	    ; drop motor currents to 50%
M915 X Y S3 R0	    	; set sensitivity to +3 unfiltered
G1 H1 X-305  F4800    	; move X all the way left and stop at end

G1 X10 F12000	        ; go back a few mm
G4 P250                 ; wait 250msec
G1 H1 X-305  F4800    	; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 X10 F12000	        ; go back a few mm

G30 Z ; home z by probing the bed
G1 H1 Z3 ; lower bed for clearance

In your homeall there are two things that aren't right.

First G30 doesn't need Z. G30 by itself just means probe z at the current location.

and you definitely don't want G1 H1 Z3 there. The H1 is a homing move. In your case both these things don't really have any effect, but figured you should know.

If you want to raise the Z axis to a certain height at that point just use G1 Z

[Phaedrux]

Looks like you've got some fan problems too.

M950 F1 C"fan1" Q500                               ; create fan 1 on pin fan1 and set its frequency
M106 P1 S1 H1 T70                                  ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on
M950 F2 C"fan1" Q500                               ; create fan 2 on pin fan1 and set its frequency
M106 P2 S0.5 H1 T60                                ; set fan 2 value. Thermostatic control is turned on

You're using fan1 twice. One of them is probably supposed to be fan2.

[Phaedrux]

The position that you use to probe the Z axis should be the same between homeall and homez. It should also be the same point you use for the G30 before running G29.

G1 X137 Y156 F2000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe

G0 X127 Y142 F12000 ; go to back center of bed for measurement

Reference a Mesh Bed Leveling Macro, does this look right? I commented out the temperature settings until I know it's probing correctly etc.

M561 ; clear any bed transform
;M140 S70 ; Start Heating the bed
;M109 S200 ; Start Heating the nozzle
G32 ; Home all & adjust lead screws
G1 X137 Y156 Z5 ; move to center of the bed
G30 ; probe Z
G29 ; run mesh bed leveling
G1 H1 X240 Y240 Z50
;M140 S0

@Phaedrux
Here is a picture of my bed surface. I also have a buildtak flexplate with PEI on it but it's translucent yellow and shiny in spots, I was going to wetsand it with 1000 grit to try and dull it out if I can't get this textured sheet to work

[Phaedrux]

G30 Z					; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger height
G1 Z5 F4000             ; lower Z 5mm
G30 Z                   ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger height (second pass)

In homez you still have the G30 Z. Also, if you want it to do two passes, say a fast pass and then a slower pass use something like this

M558 F500 A1 ; set fast single dive speed
G30 ; probe the bed
M558 F60 A5 ; set slow multi dive speed
G30

That gets you a fast first z homing and then a slower more accurate one.

In your homeall, you should remove this line

G1 H1 X10 ;move X away from frame to home Y

Your mesh macro looks ok, but instead of this

G1 X137 Y156 Z5 ; move to center of the bed
G30 ; probe Z

you could just use G28 Z to home the z axis

[Phaedrux]

Have you recently remeasured your trigger height?

G31 X-27 Y0 Z2.062 P500

[Phaedrux]

As for the bed surface a good way to test if it's a factor you can place a plane piece of paper over the bed and see if the mesh looks much different.

The white lines might have an effect and it looks a bit shiny. Hard to say.... best to test with something matte.

[Jaw8850]

@Phaedrux
with the sensorless homing when I don't move X back away from 0 it hits and stops Y at about 20mm from 0. also when I hit G30 without the G1 command it just probes the bed at the right lead screw where it parked from doing the G32

I have remeasured trigger height what seams like 100 times but not opposed to doing it more. this is the method I'm using for that from https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe

Make sure the dynamic test is successful (Z probe stops when it senses the bed) before doing this.
Cancel any currently active mesh compensation with M561
Use the X and Y jog buttons to position the nozzle over the centre of the bed
Jog the nozzle down until it is just touching the bed or just gripping a sheet of paper. If the firmware doesn't let you jog it down far enough, send M564 S0 to disable axis limits.
Once you have the nozzle touching the bed, send command G92 Z0 to tell the firmware that the head is at Z=0
Jog the head up by 5 to 10mm
Send command G30 S-1. The nozzle will descend or the bed rise until the probe triggers and the Z height at which the probe stopped will be reported. If you are using a nozzle-contact Z probe, the trigger height will be slightly negative. For any other type of Z probe where the probe triggers before the nozzle contacts the bed, it will be positive.
Repeat from step 5 two or three times to make sure that the trigger height is consistent.
In Duet Web Control, go to Settings -> System Editor and edit the config.g file. Set the Z parameter in the G31 command to the trigger height that was reported. Save the file.
Open config-override.g and check that there are no G31 commands in it. If you find any, delete those lines and save the file.
To apply the new trigger height, restart the Duet by sending M999 or pressing Emergency Stop.

@Phaedrux
I ran through Live Z twice - below are screen shots of stopped heights. I set Z offset to 2.075 in config.g after running this twice

Then use just a G1 X move. leave out the H1.

@Jaw8850 said in HELP WITH HEIGHT MAP HAS SUBSTANTIAL Z OFFSET WARNING:

also when I hit G30 without the G1 command it just probes the bed at the right lead screw where it parked from doing the G32

Yes, but what I'm saying is a G28 Z command will do the positioning and probing for you.

That's fine. As long as the trigger height seems consistant. The important thing is that the nozzle is just touching the bed when Z=0.

How does your mesh look now? You're only using 9 points total, so the shape will always look a bit weird if there is some tilt.

Change your M557 command from M557 X40:240 Y30:270 S100 to M557 X40:240 Y30:270 P4

That will add a few more points. 4 in each direction. You could increase it even more to get a more detailed picture of the bed.

I also note that your bed would appear to be tilted in the Y direction. Your 2 point tilt correction along the X axis won't be able to solve for that. You should start from as level a bed as possible.

See if running through this guide helps.
