@fcwilt It's all in the link for the hang printer wiki.
Found it.
Shouldn't the items related to M669 also be in the gcode dictionary along with all the other types?

At this point it would be helpful to be able to test in standalone mode so that we could narrow down if the problem is with the firmware or with DSF on the Pi.
-
@phaedrux
That would be with direct USB connection?
Or is there a way to do it direct with network cable?Mounted on the ceiling connecting through wire with laptop is a challenge. Our print area takes up a 13ftx13ft space.
-
Standalone mode means that the Duet has a direct network connection and an SD card is needed in the Duet with your config files and the files for DWC. The Pi isn't used in this mode. No direct USB connection, but the Duet3 requires ethernet. So that may be a problem if you were depending on wifi for the Pi.

@phaedrux
Yeah we are relying on the PI.We have no networking in this building yet. The pi is connecting to a wifi hotspot on my phone and I'm using that to talk to the printer.
If I can use a network cable to go direct to my laptop I can probably make it work.

@shinomori said in Hang printer - Print stops with mesh leveling:

Yes if you can route the cable that would work. You'd need to manually set an IP address for the Duet in config.g and then manually set an IP address on your laptop. Both IP addresses must be in the same subnet. Then you can connect to DWC via the Duet IP.
-
@phaedrux
Sounds good. Thanks. I'll get a long network cable next time I come down here. So if we need to go direct I'll be able to. Look forward to seeing what DC42 thinks. Thanks again for the help. -
Hi,
Just out of curiosity what is the "raison d'etre" for a hang printer?
Thanks.

@fcwilt We are working with a group that is wanting to print building sized objects with a custom material, but the printer needs to be easy to transport. I know of no other printer that can do such a large print volume with so few materials for the printer itself. So we proposed a hangprinter This is the first phase proof of concept. If it works we'll be moving to a v4 hangprinter with a pellet extruder. This is why the mesh level needs to be working. We are currently trying to print on 4x8 sheets and will eventually be printing straight to the ground.

In case you're still at the printer to test.. Would you be able to try increasing the dive height? M558 H5 to H15? I just noticed that your M208 Z minima is -5mm which is the same as your dive height.
-
@phaedrux
We'll probably be over later this week to work on it some more. I'll try setting the dive height larger than the z minima. And the other way around. It is interesting that probing one point manually currently works. Used to establish Z0 to before trying to create a mesh level. It only fails when trying to do the mesh. So it seems there is something odd there. It still does load the old mesh file from the last time I ran it before doing all the updates. -
Can you post the heightmap.csv file from the previously saved G29 run?

Here is the height map from the old config. -

then G30. The manual probing screen came up but the print head didn't move after setting height it moved up the dive height in M558.
So when G30 is sent with M558 P0 set, there should be a prompt pop up to allow you to jog the Z axis up and down. Did that happen? Are you saying the movement buttons did not respond?
-
@phaedrux
When sending the G30 command the the print head doesn't move and the ui for moving the axis comes up. The buttons work to move the print head. I use those buttons to set the height and hit ok. Then the head moves up to the dive height.When sending G29 there is no motion only errors.
When it was working it would move to the location for each probe at z=H parameter in M558.
I wonder if the lack of motion at the start of G30 is an indication of what is causing the G29 to fail?

That's exactly how M558 P0 and manual probing works. You have to manually move the nozzle to touch the bed. So G30 sounds like it's working.
Once you've done that G30 and set the Z0 position are you able to jog the print head around manually?
With M558 P0 set, using G29 should indeed prompt you to jog down at each point.
And just to confirm, that's with this set?
