Only probe where printed. Solution here!

dc42

@exerqtor each GCode input channel has its own set of local variables. So a local variable created by a print file will not be visible from the console.

easier solution

(Cura slicer plugin) To make the macro to work in Cura slicer, you need to install the post process plugin by frankbags - In cura menu Help -> Show configuration folder. - Copy the python script from the above link in to plugins folder. - Restart Cura - In cura menu Extensions -> Post processing -> Modify G-Code and select Mesh Print Size (PLUGIN)

the
M557 X%MINX%:%MAXX% Y%MINY%:%MAXY% S8

Not sure if you can help, but running the python plugin and enabling the M557 in start gcode I always get a huge max X

For example:

looking at the gcode output:

M557 X131.900:1500.000 Y131.900:168.100 S35.000 ; Leveling mesh defined by LevelingMeshOptimizer

Not sure where 1500 comes from.. any idea where to look for in fixing/address that? Or anyone getting this in latest cura?

Exerqtor

Well in that case I have no idea what to do except declare them as global instead of local, and reset them to the default in the end of each probing session.

@exerqtor yes that should work.

supernovae

@supernovae

Found the issue, I have some commands to set speed on layers and it shows up as X1500 which the regex catches... maybe i'll try and see if i can limit/exclude it lol

I'm trying to do this on my printer right now, but somehow I can't get S3D to output the min/max XY for the file to be printed.
Anyone have a tip on how to do this with S3D?
