Macro for Automatic Z Tool Offset for IDEX Printers
-
Hi Community,
we would like to implement a strategy for automatically calculating the tool offset in the Z direction for IDEX printers.
For this we have installed an additional Z switch on the print bed carrier which both tools can approach.
Has anyone written a macro for this?
I would assign the coordinates 0/0/0 to tool 0 (on the left when viewed from the side) and only adjust the values of tool 1 (on the right).
Thank you for your help and have a nice evening!

Any Ideas?

@cr3d if you have already homes Z by other means, one approach would be to configure that switch as an additional Z probe, then probe it with each tool using the G30 S-2 command to set the Z offset of the tool.
