      both work fine one minute then one of the points wont trigger.

      You mean that it will move to the probe points but randomly the probe doesn't trigger? Meaning a nozzle crash? An error message?

      You can test and calibrate your probe following this: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_testing

        @phaedrux it won't even crash it will just stop before reaching it. And sometimes the margin of error is -9.

        Now I'm getting a temperature excursion error I'm printing at 230 it will jump to 250 I paid tuned several times. Tried with fan on didn't realize the fan comes on with the newer firmware.

          What do you mean by "reaching it" - what does "it" refer to?

            right before it tries to trigger it will just stop and error out probe was not triggered during move.

              That is usually caused by starting to probe to far from the bed.

              Does the probe move smoothly towards the bed?

                I have the ir probe and my lead screws are independent driven by motors.

                  The offsets for the probe look suspect

                  G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.192

                  There is no X Y offset from the nozzle so the firmware doesn't know where the probe actually is. And the trigger height seems very small.

                  Have you gone through this yet? https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_testing

                  ;Lead screw position
                  M671 X45:45:485:485Y45:424:424:45  s5
                  

                  This command to define your lead screw positions may not be registering correctly because there is a missing space between the X and Y values and an extra space before the S.

                  Can you also post your homeall.g and config-override.g?

                  It would also be nice to see the results of sending M122 and M98 P"config.g" in the gcode console.

                  @trublu89 said in auto calibration:

                  it won't even crash it will just stop before reaching it.

                  Does this happen consistently in the space spot? Or totally randomly?

                  What is your bed surface? The IR probe can be sensitive to reflective or multicolor surfaces. You can try and eliminate this by putting a plane piece of white paper on your bed.

                  It would also be good to get some close up photos of the IR probe itself incase it is damaged in some way.

                    I didn't realize there was a gap in my m671

                    That's how I came up with .192 homing to where the paper grabbed the nozzle and g92 z=0 g30 s1 to get the mean results.

                      Is there anything unique about that corner? Can you try putting the plain white paper there?

                        @phaedrux nope is there a way to just move one z motor instead of all?

                          Have you tried Auto Bed Leveling?

                          Docs where bed leveling is discussed

                          How do the Z steppers connect to the bed? Do the connections have any give? Are the kinematic connections?

                            @fcwilt this is g29 initially and then g29 with s1 at startup code right?

                              G29 is related to Mesh Bed Compensation which is a feature used during printing to try and adjust for an uneven bed.

                              G32 is related to Auto Bed Leveling which is a feature used before printing to level the bed. Since you have multiple Z steppers you may be able to use Auto Bed Leveling but it depended on how much "flex" you have in the connections from the Z lead screws to the bed. The firmware probes the bed with your Z probe and attempts to adjust the Z steppers individually to level the bed.

                              Here is a link to a quick-and-dirty video showing the Auto Bed Leveling feature leveling the bed on my printer. I designed the printer to support bed leveling and I use kinematic mounts to connect the Z belts to the bed. The mounts allow a lot of "flex" so the Z steppers are free to adjust the bed without any binding.

                                  @fcwilt also what would cause temperature excursion. I have paid tuned several times with and without the fan on.

                                    What error exactly are you getting and when are you getting it? Did you save the results of the PID tune and have it loaded again at startup? This is usualy done by sending M500 after the tuning to save it to config-override.g and then adding M501 to the end of config.g to load that file at startup.

                                      @phaedrux I didn't add the 501 I just entered m500.

                                      It said temperature excursion went from 230 to 250. I think the fan might have been too high I tried to make it to where it cuts on but low not on high but it still is 60 or 80 percent.

                                        Ideally you should have a silicone nozzle sock installed to insulate the hotend from the fan. The fan duct itself should be aimed away from the nozzle. And for tuning you can use M303 T0 S245 to tune the hotend as a tool, including using the fan during tuning to help compensate.

                                          @phaedrux I had this volcano way before the silicone socks ever came about.
                                          I have some of the hose printrbot used on their ubis got end but the heat makes it tear. Maybe it was meant for a lower heat.
