Unsolved Using the Manual Bed Levelling Assistant
-
Hello, I am trying to use the Manual Bed leveling Assistant. I have a BL Touch and 4 bed adjusting screws (.5mm pitch). The coordinates are (X, Y) (310, 18), (22, 18), (22, 284), (310, 284). How would I update the config.g and bed.g according to these specifications?

@phaedrux Correct, I'm just not sure how to to it

You must use the M671 command to define the X and Y coordinates of the adjusting screws. These coordinates will usually be outside the normal printable area defined by M208. The M671 command must come after any M667 or M669 command in config.g.
You must set up a bed.g file in the usual way with at least as many probe points as adjusting screws. As a minimum, you should have one probe point close to each adjusting screw. You can have more probe points if you wish. For example, with a square bed you might choose to probe close to each corner even if you have just 3 bed levelling screws.
The value of the S parameter on the final G30 command in bed.g must equal the number of adjusting screws.The link also contains examples.

@phaedrux Yes I know, I'm just confused as how to set the coordinates with m667
-
could you give an example?

Example
File config.g:M671 X-15:100:215 Y190:-10:190 P0.5 ; adjusting screws at rear left (-15,190), front middle (100,-10) and rear right (215,190), thread pitch 0.5mmFile bed.g:
G28 ; home M401 ; deploy Z probe G30 P0 X20 Y190 Z-99999 ; probe near an adjusting screw G30 P1 X180 Y190 Z-99999 ; probe near an adjusting screw G30 P2 X100 Y10 Z-99999 S3 ; probe near an adjusting screw and report adjustments needed M402 ; retract probe -

@tratoon It says to put it after a m669 command, my config.g doesn't have one

@tratoon said in Using the Manual Bed Levelling Assistant:

I think that when M669 is missing the default is a Cartesian kinematics as if you had M669 K0.
M669 is normally placed near the start of config.g.
I put the M671 in my bed.g as I like to keep all related commands close together.
