why are you setting the Y screw location at Y114 but then you're probing at Y190?

[Ducati87]

@jay_s_uk

Y114 is the right probe position in front of the lead screw.

[Phaedrux]

your homeall just calls the individual homing files, can you post those?

0,0 is expected to be the front left corner of the build plate.
-x moves to the left, +x moves to the right
-y moved to the front, +y moves to the back

Does this match what you have?

This is not correct. The second move G1 H1 Y10 should not have H1 if it's a back off move it should just be G1 Y10

H2 should only be used on Z moves to allow the Z axis to move before being homed. It should not be used on XY moves. There is also an error in the block above where the Z axis is lifted, but then the X axis is moved when the comment says to lower the Z axis.

M671 X-15:290 Y114:114 S6

Does driver 2 match the motor at the first XY position?
Does driver 4 match the motor at the second XY position?

G31 P500 X37 Y72 Z-1.044
You have a rather large offset on Y axis. If there is some tilt it can produce different trigger heights depending on XY position.

Your Z trigger height is negative. Is that correct? That would mean the nozzle is pushing a full 1mm into the surface of the bed when the probe triggers? Depending on the probe type this may be the case. What type of probe is it?

thank you for your reply.

yes both of them.

I reduced the gap between the probe and the bed and now the right value is 0.750.

The problem between the left and right side is a bit better than before but the compensation is not perfect.
The right side is still a bit upper than the left side but the compensation doesn't work as well.
Maybe I should to change the probe or install a bltouch in order to improve the accuracy.

[Phaedrux]

What is the probe? Reducing the distance between nozzle and probe may help.

Can you post a photo of your heightmap image?

[Ducati87]

@phaedrux said in Bad mesh compensation:

it's a normal inductive probe NPN.

[Phaedrux]

Have you leveled the bed manually to get it more or less even to the nozzle tip first?

[Ducati87]

@phaedrux said in Bad mesh compensation:

do you mean the z offset?

[Phaedrux]

No i mean manually leveling the bed to try and eliminate as much tilt as possible.

[Ducati87]

@phaedrux said in Bad mesh compensation:

No I'm not. Yes but why there is this problem with automatic leveling?

[engikeneer]

@ducati87 you only have two z lead screws, at the max and min of the x axis (left/right), so the G32 levelling can only level along the x axis. From you heightmap image, it looks like your heightmap is very level in X as expected

You should probably try mechanically levelling your bed a bit better from front to back. From your first image, it seems that's the direction the issue is in?

[Phaedrux]

Yes it seems a large Y tilt, possibly related to the large Y offset of the probe.

[Ducati87]

@phaedrux
is there any chance to fix it?

maybe I should to move the probe in a better position.

[Phaedrux]

It's always best to have the probe as close to the nozzle as possible.

ok I will try to move the probe in a better position. thank you so much.
