HEVO triple kinematic bed configuration

dingo007

Has anyone accomplished the HEVO triple kinematic bed configuration on a duet 3 ?

Im trying to work through it,m they have no example for the duet 3. Anyone?

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about having 3 Z steppers?

If it's a triple lead screw with 3 motors then this should apply: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors

@fcwilt yes, 3 steppers, auto bed leveling with bltouch

Then you might enjoy this video of my own design using 3 Z steppers.

Printer with 3 Z Steppers

Notice that I included an endstop sensor for each Z axis to allow for quickly getting the bed homed and mostly level. Then the Z probe is used to do the final leveling.

@fcwilt

nice vid, im not using endstops on Z though, just the bltouch, still trying to figure out the whole configuration

@fcwilt

ok whats your configuration look like, ill never accomplish this without help

I would be glad to generate one but the one I have working is for a Duet 2 WiFi/Duex 5 setup.

@dingo007

i have a 300x300 triple Z scew... and a BLTouch, no endstops on Z with a Duet3 board... think you can take a crack at it getting a config done for levelling

right now

@dingo007 that config looks OK to me, but you need to add a M671 command to tell the firmware the coordinates of the leadscrews. You will also need to construct a bed.g file.

dingo007

@dc42

great are those cordinate defined as where the lead screw physically is, or where it mounts to the bed, as there are ball screws under the hot bed, these are extended a bit inwards by the mount from the lead screws, basically we followed the HEVO triple Z axis design, tough its modified a bit.

Front Left

Center rear

However notice the screw is offset and the rear is actually mounted at the rail

ill look around for an example bed.g

So Im pretty sure im not understanding the M671 Logic i read in that guide. Ive tried from the guide however

@dingo007

You don't want to do a G29 in bed.g - that file is just for auto-leveling of the bed.

The file mesh.g is for creating the height map needed for mesh bed compensation.

So first get auto-leveling working and then work on mesh bed compensation.

@dingo007

I removed the G29 And still thats whats giving me the error, so im not sure im measuring the probe points right. is it where the physical screws actually are? or where the ball mounts are under the board??

@dingo007

Well that is not really an error, more of an informational message.

You have the S parameter in your M671 set to 0.5 which limits the correct for a single pass to 0.5 mm which is not very much. The default value is 1.0.

You see that one of the adjustments required was going to be 3.362.

So as a test change the S parameter to 4.0 and see what happens.

mmm think i nailed it now...

You can if you wish put those three G30 command inside while loop with a few other commands and it will run multiple passes until an acceptable degree of levelness (is that word) is reached.

Here is an example:

; start of bed.g

while true
    G30 P0 X-145 Y-65 Z-99999    ; probe near ball stud #1
    G30 P1 X0    Y100 Z-99999    ; probe near ball stud #2
    G30 P2 X145  Y-65 Z-99999 S3 ; probe near ball stud #3
  
  ; check results - exit loop if results are good

  if move.calibration.initial.deviation < 0.02
    break

  ; check pass limit - abort if pass limit reached

  if iterations = 5
    M291 P"Bed Leveling Aborted" R"Pass Limit Reached"
    abort "Bed Leveling Aborted - Pass Limit Reached"

; end of bed .g

You would just need to put your own G30 commands in there.

ok here is the top and bottom side cad of the bed, plus the photos of it above, im literally not sure what/where to measure. Am I measuring at the screws, or the ball studs, which align under the board and offset slightly with a bracket, am i measuring at the screws, or the ball studs, also do i include the offset from the board to the ball stud? and you will also notice on the rear screw it has a mount from the Z rail with a ball screw, the board sits on it centered.

for M671 ... I tried the below thinking i would measure at the ball screws, yet when i run the G32 leveling the right and read go way out of whack.

; Screws
M671 X20:125:230 Y20:280:20 S4.5 ; leadscrews at rear left, front middle and rear right
