Mesh bed compensation issue

[Norder]

@kiki0000 said in Mesh bed compensation issue:

I assume this sheet in 0,5mm thickness is pretty flexible.

No, it can be compared to the spring steel plate and the PEI.
However, it is more dimensionally stable than spring steel and retains its shape after bending.
It is slightly lighter than the spring steel plate.

I just measured both plates again.
The spring steel with PEI is almost 1.8mm thick.
The black print is 1.9mm.
I made a mistake... the FR4 without a magnetic plate is 1mm thick and not 0.5mm as I wrote earlier by mistake.
I would have bet it would have been 0.5mm... Lost.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

OK, though if it does not smell it does not mean it is healthy

No, it's definitely not healthy. Whether PETG or TPU etc. are better ?... I doubt it.

I assume this sheet in 0,5mm thickness is pretty flexible.

Nein, es ist zu vergleichen mit der Federstahlplatte und dem PEI.
Sie ist aber formstabiler wie Federstahl, behält ihre Form nach dem biegen.
Sie ist etwas leichter wie die Federstahlplatte.

Ich habe beide Platten gerade noch einmal gemessen.
Die Federstahl mit PEI ist knapp 1,8mm dick.
Die Blackprint ist 1,9mm.
Ich habe mich versehen... die FR4 ohne Magnetplatte ist 1mm dick und nicht 0,5mm wie vorher von mir fälschlicherweise geschrieben.
Ich hätte drauf wetten können es wäre 0,5mm gewesen... Verloren.
Sorry für das Missverständnis.

OK, though if it does not smell it does not mean it is healthy

Nein, gesund ist es garantiert nicht. Ob PETG oder TPU etc. da besser sind ?... ich waage es zu bezweifeln.

Here are my findings. When i first started using Duet with the RatRig, I had similar issues. My 3 probe points were taken from the online example, and this gave me problems where my LEFT FRONT corner was always higher than the rest of the bed. I finally solved this issue by realizing the probe points must be symmetrical. Its all about the G29 G32 level command.

My original probe points were:

Left X5 Y5, Back X150 Y285, Right X270 Y5

I tried for 2 weeks to fix by adjusting my 3030 extrusion, reversing my bed, etc, but the left side always remained higher no matter what i did, so it hit me that it was not hardware related.

The fix was making the 3 probe points SYMMETRICAL, as follows:

Left X30 Y5 Back X150 Y285 Right X270 Y5

It is imperative that the distance from each leadscrew to the probe be IDENTICAL. during a bed level, when the bed is being raised , the probe is being intercepted a few milliseconds earlier than on the other probe point, but i dont think the software can compensate for this, because it doesnt know where in physical space the leadscrews are actually located, so it trusts that the user is giving it identically spaced probe points. so it tricks the bed mesh into thinking one side is higher than the other, when in reality it just closed a shorter distance in the same amount of time. so it essentially tricked the Z adjustment.

Once I made my probe points truly symmetrical, my bed mesh became like this:

[Norder]

@rogerpodacter

It is exactly like that.
I have a cascading printer with an 8mm aluminum plate as a print bed, so I also have three level screws because four level screws make little sense and there would only be tension because the silicone dampers cannot bend the 8mm aluminum plate.

With your printers, the bed leveling is automatic, I have to adjust the bed level wheels by hand.
I don't use a sheet of paper for this, but the IR-Probe shows me the correct height... if I see 0.000 then the level screw is set perfectly (I created my own macros for this).
That's just a side note.

I measure directly above each of the three level screws.
And you are absolutely right, if these points are not symmetrical or if all measuring points are not on the right line from the spindle to the middle of the bed, then the measuring results are incorrect.
That's why I pointed out in post #6 that the measuring points in the bed.g file are not symmetrical.
I don't know the new coordinates, but @kiki0000 wrote in post #8 that he has now arranged the measuring points symmetrically.

Your MBL or your print surface is extremely flat.
Congratulations... the best MBL I've ever seen.
Could almost be Photoshop.

Genau so ist es.
Ich habe ein kaskadischen Drucker mit einer 8mm Aluplatte als Druckbett, daher habe ich auch drei Levelschrauben denn vier Levelschrauben machen da wenig Sinn und es würden nur Spannungen entstehen da sie Silikondämpfer die 8mm Aluplatte nicht verbiegen können.

Bei Euren Druckern ist das Bettlevelling automatisch, ich muss dazu die Bettlevelräder per Hand anpassen.
Ich nutze dazu aber kein Blatt Papier sondern die IR-Probe zeigt mir die richtige Höhe an... wird mir 0,000 angezeigt dann ist die Levelschraube perfekt eingestellt (Habe mir dazu eigene Makros erstellt).
Das nur so am Rande.

Bei mir wird direkt über jeder der drei Levelschrauben gemessen.
Und Du hast vollkommen Recht, sind diese Punkte nicht symmetrisch bzw alle Messpunkte nicht auf der richtigen Linie von der Spindel bis zur Bettmitte, dann sind die Messergebnisse nicht korrekt.
Daher habe ich in Post #6 auch darauf hingewiesen dass die Messpunkte in der bed.g Datei nicht symmetrisch sind.
Ich kenne zwar die neuen Koordinaten nicht, aber @kiki0000 hat in Post #8 geschrieben dass er die Messpunkte jetzt symmetrisch angeordnet hat.

Dein MBL bzw Deine Druckoberfläche ist ja extrem plan.
Glückwunsch... das beste MBL was ich je gesehen habe.
Könnte fast Photoshop sein.

[RogerPodacter]

@norder I promise it is my actual bed mesh.:)

But i made one mistake in my post, i meant to reference G32, which needs symmetrical probe points, not G29. Although G29 also needs to be symmetrical as well. But the G32 symmetry is what finally gave me my good results because this is where bed angle can be affected.

Thanks for the info.
I will go and grab one with a magnetic sheet and my bed magnets and the sheet magnet will grab onto each other.

Yes, this is still my problem. I will go ahead and really define all the bed probing points and Z axis points simmetrically.
What I find a little bit strange that certain commands are taking into account the offset of the probe others not and this is nowhere really documented (at least I could not find these comments at the G29 and G32 command in the doku). Ok, for sure I can see while testing if it is off by 50mm or not but anyway it would be easier if they would all show the same.
One thing I never really tought about is that it is really important that the probe points for the 3 Z axis must also be simmetrical to everything. I thought 3 points are defining a shape and as soon as my Z axis points are properly defined it should be able to calculate from this wherever I probe. But it looks likie this i snot the case. I also started to mess with my Y rails to compensate for the bed misalignment on on side but maybe this is similarly to you not really my problem.

I did not even mention to you yet that after putting my printer back to its original place mesh bed leveling wasn't perfect again. Significantly bettern then before but not perfect. So now I will really define all the probing points to

[kiki0000]

@norder and @rogerpodacter I 3D drew my printer with the correct positions and really certains things were off. Now I perfectly symmetrically defined everything. All the Z axis probe points are an eqal distance from the axes, everything is in line etc. The 3 axis automatic leveling is now really finding the right plane in no time.
This is how my heightmap looks like:

As you can see from the left view I definitely have an alignment problem with one of the Y rail. There is a nice slope in it. So I will try to compensate this now and lets see... This might have happened when I lifted up my heavy printer at the rail and put it down. Something might have shifted although I have now idea how was this possible because everything is perfectly definted by the aluminium brackets.... Lets see...

@norder and @rogerpodacter after correcting the Y rail alignment the heightmap looks pretty good. No more slope on hte left side.
But my first layer is still not perfect especially on the left side.

Maybe now it is really the BL touch?

[Norder]

@kiki0000

I think you have a little misconception here.
The super result of @rogerpodacter on his heihtmap, that everything is very flat there and one corner of yours turns red, simply has to do with the fact that @rogerpodacter's printing surface has no bumps or is bent, yours seems to be a little bent in one corner .
Mine too, by the way.

This is how my heihgtmap looks like with the IR probe.
The manual leveling was done, which the G32 command does automatically for you.
After that an MBL was made with G29.
My first layer of 0.1mm across the entire print bed would be perfectly even.

The heihgtmap shows the unevenness of the pressure plate somewhat exaggerated. The differences are hardly bigger than a hair is thick. My FR4 pressure plate is as smooth as a mirror when you look at it.

Here is a heightmap with the BLTouch where I haven't done the manual leveling yet, you can see everything is red and I was also warned that the MBL cannot compensate for this extreme difference, I should level the print bed manually first.

You can also see that both probes have the same measuring points with me.
All around is an area of ​​30mm that is not measured because the BLTouch doesn't quite reach the right edge.
It is not important that both probes have the same measuring points, I just wanted it to be identical and it makes it easier for me to compare the two probes to each other.
So not important for you.


.

---

.

But this plan is important for you after I have calculated my level points.
In your case it would be the coordinates in your bed.g file.
So what is manual leveling for me is the bed.g file for you, which you call up with the G32 command.

My level screws (red dots) are 10mm from the edge but my BLTouch can only get up to 30mm on one side of the print bed.
Shown in the sketch as a somewhat reddish area, here it is given as 20mm and in the lower area of ​​the print bed.
But that doesn't matter because you have to determine beforehand where your probe goes and where it doesn't go.
Often it's an area on the print bed... right edge, left edge, top or bottom depending on where your probe is mounted on the print head.

Now you have to draw a line from each mounting point of the spindles (red dots) to the middle of the print bed (green lines).
Then calculate the area where the probe cannot reach.
And with these measurements you can calculate where the coordinates for the bed.g file are (yellow dots).
They must be on the green line and all the same distance from the attachment point.

I saw that your axis limits are not quite OK.
At minimal you have a positive value (X2).
M208 X2 Y-40 Z0 S1 ; set axis minimum

And at maximum you have a value that is smaller than the actual print bed (Y303).
M208 X320 Y303 Z300 S0 ; set axis maxima

Topic G32 + G30..
Yes, sometimes it is a bit confusing whether the offset values ​​of the probe are taken into account or whether you have to do it yourself.
If you enter G30 without coordinates, then the probe measures where the print head is currently located.
If it is to be a specific point that is to be measured, such as X20 Y30, then you have to go there beforehand with G1 and calculate the offset yourself, i.e. G1 X78 Y30.
Your new probe offsets are included here.

If you enter G30 P0 X20 Y30 Z-99999 as in the bed.g file, then the probe will measure exactly at the point, the offset of the probe will be automatically taken into account.

So enter the coordinates in bed.g that you would calculate with such a sketch, you don't have to consider the offset of the probe.

Phew... written a lot.
I hope Google doesn't translate it into cryptic and it helps you get there.
Conclusion: Not many people have such a nice, flat and uniformly green heightmap as @rogerpodacter has, which does not mean that the first layer cannot be printed absolutely perfectly.

Your task in my eyes would be...
Measure the area where the BLTouch goes after the conversion, remember the M564 command I gave you in comment #15.

Measure the points and coordinates from the example sketch.

Changing the axis limits in the config.g with the new insights from the M564 thingy.

So I have to vote now. Today is elected here in Germany / Lower Saxony.
I hope there will be positive changes after that.
It can't go on like this.

-- Original Text--

Ich glaube Du hast hier einen kleinen Denkfehler.
Das Super Ergebnis von @rogerpodacter seiner heihtmap das dort alles sehr plan ist und bei Dir eine Ecke ins Rot geht, hat einfach damit zu tun das die Druckoberfläche von @rogerpodacter keine Unebenheiten hat oder verbogen ist, Deine scheint in einer Ecke etwas verbogen zu sein.
Meine übrigens auch.

So sieht zB meine heihgtmap mit dem IR-Probe aus.
Das manuelle Leveling wurde gemacht, was bei Dir der G32 Befehl automatisch macht.
Danach wurde ein MBL mit G29 gemacht.
Mein erster Layer mit 0,1mm über das gesamte Druckbett wäre absolut gleichmäßig.

Die heihgtmap zeigt die Unebenheiten der Druckplatte etwas übertrieben dar. Die unterschiede sind kaum größer wie ein Haar dick ist. Meine FR4 Druckplatte ist so glatt wie ein Spiegel wenn man sie sich ansieht.

Hier eine heightmap mit dem BLTouch wo ich das manuelle Leveling noch nicht gemacht habe, man sieht alles ist Rot und es wurde mir auch eine Warnung angezeigt dass das MBL diesen extremen Unterschied nicht ausgleichen kann, ich möge doch erst einmal das Druckbett manuell leveln.

Du siehst auch das beide Sonden die gleichen Messpunkte bei mir haben.
Rundherum ist ein Bereich von 30mm der nicht gemessen wird, weil der BLTouch nicht ganz bis an die rechte Kante kommt.
Es ist nicht wichtig das beide Sonden den gleichen Messpunkte haben, ich wollte es nur identisch haben und es erleichtert mir etwas beim Vergleich der beiden Sonden zueinander.
Also nicht wichtig für Dich.

Wichtig für Dich ist aber dieser Plan nachdem ich meine Levelpunkte ausgerechnet habe.
Es wären in Deinem Fall die Koordinaten in Deiner bed.g Datei.
Also das was bei mir das manuelle Leveln ist, ist bei Dir die bed.g Datei die Du mit dem Befehl G32 aufrufst.

Meine Levelschrauben (Rote Punkte) sind 10mm vom Rand entfernt aber mein BLTouch kommt an einer Seite des Druckbettes nur bis 30mm heran.
In der Skizze als etwas rötlichen Bereich dargestellt, hier jetzt mal mit 20mm angegeben und im unteren Bereich des Druckbettes.
Aber das ist egal denn Du muss vorher feststellen wo Deine Sonde hin kommt bzw wo sie nicht hin kommt.
Oft ist es ein Bereich auf dem Druckbett... rechter Rand, linker Rand, oben oder unten, je nachdem wo Deine Sonde am Druckkopf montiert ist.

Jetzt musst Du eine Linie von jedem Befestigungspunkt der Spindeln (Rote Punkte) bis zur Mitte des Druckbettes eine Linie (Grüne Linien) ziehen.
Dann den Bereich einberechnen wo die Sonde nicht hin kommt.
Und mit diesen Maßen kannst Du ausrechnen wo die Koordinaten für die bed.g Datei sind (Gelbe Punkte).
Sie müssen auf der grünen Linie sein und alle den gleichen Abstand zum Befestigungspunkt haben.

Ich habe gesehen das Deine Axis Limits nicht ganz OK sind.
Bei minimal hast Du einen positiven Wert (X2).
M208 X2 Y-40 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima

Und bei maximal hast Du einen Wert der kleiner wie das tatsächliche Druckbett ist (Y303).
M208 X320 Y303 Z300 S0 ; set axis maxima

Thema G32 + G30..
Ja, manchmal ist es etwas verwirren ob die Offset Werte der Sonde mit einberechent werden oder ob man es selber machen muss.
Gibst Du G30 ohne Koordinaten an, dann misst die Sonde dort wo der Druckkopf gerade steht.
Soll es ein bestimmter Punkt sein der gemessen werden soll wie zB X20 Y30, dann muss man dort vorher mit G1 hingefahren sein und das Offset selber mit berechen, also G1 X78 Y30.
Hier sind Deine neuen Offsets der Sonde mit drin.

Gibst Du wie in der bed.g Datei G30 P0 X20 Y30 Z-99999 ein, dann misst die Sonde genau an dem Punkt, der Offset der Sonde wird automatisch mit einberechnet.

Also in bed.g die Koordinaten eingeben die Du mit so einer Skizze ausrechnen würdest, den Offset der Sonde musst Du nicht beachten.

Puh... viel geschrieben.
Ich hoffe Google übersetzt es nicht ins Kryptische und es hilft Dir ans Ziel zu kommen.
Fazit: So eine schöne plane und einheitlich Grüne heightmap wie @rogerpodacter er sie hat, haben nicht viele, was aber nicht bedeutet das der erste Layer nicht absolut perfekt gedruckt werden kann.

Deine Aufgabe in meinen Augen, wäre...
Bereich ausmessen wohin der BLTouch nach dem Umbau überall hin kommt, denke dabei an den M564 Befehl den ich Dir in Kommentar #15 gegeben habe.

Ausmessen der Punkte und Koordinaten aus der Beispiel-Skizze.

Ändern der Axis Limits in der config.g mit den neuen Erkenntnissen aus dem M564 Dingsbums.

So, ich muss nun zur Wahl. Heute wird hier in Germany / Lower Saxony gewählt.
Ich hoffe es gibt danach positive Veränderungen.
So kann das ja nicht weiter gehen.

I have done a similar CAD drawing already in the morning the only difference was that I did not put hte G31 points onto the line pointing into the middle of the bed only the same distance from the Z axes in all 3 cases. Now I changed this according to your proposal.
This is how it looks like (I know it i sa mess just because I wanted to put all the measurements from the frame etc onto the drawing.)
The biggest rectangle is my frame (I cannot reach with the current setup the rear 5mm of the bed this is why my max Y limit is 305. I know this is stupid because I could move the complete Z assmebly 5-10mm forward and then I could reach it but I have just done some changes and I was too lazy to do this up to now ).
The bed is clearly the 310 x 310. Furhtermore you can see the 3 outside points (41mm from the frame on both sides ) for the 3 axis and the 3 inner points on the lines now are the probing points for the G32 (262mm is my max Y reach point on the right for the BL touch).

This is how my heightmap looks like with a narrow space all around (after the Y axis realignment now this is on the same level in the entire bed length but ca 0.13mm higher than the rest of teh bed.).

I saw that your axis limits are not quite OK.
At minimal you have a positive value (X2).
M208 X2 Y-40 Z0 S1 ; set axis minimum
And at maximum you have a value that is smaller than the actual print bed (Y303).
M208 X320 Y303 Z300 S0 ; set axis maxima

As I wrote above I am limited at 305mm at the moment because of the bed position on the actuan assembly. I will later on move the complete Z assembly forward by 10-15mm.

@norder said in Mesh bed compensation issue:

Yes, sometimes it is a bit confusing whether the offset values ​​of the probe are taken into account or whether you have to do it yourself.
If you enter G30 without coordinates, then the probe measures where the print head is currently located.
If it is to be a specific point that is to be measured, such as X20 Y30, then you have to go there beforehand with G1 and calculate the offset yourself, i.e. G1 X78 Y30.
Your new probe offsets are included here.

Yes, little bit confusing but now I already figured out which is taking into account the offset and which not. Thanks a lot

@norder said in Mesh bed compensation issue:

I hope Google doesn't translate it into cryptic and it helps you get there.

No, it was perfect. Thanks for the lots of help again

@norder said in Mesh bed compensation issue:

Not many people have such a nice, flat and uniformly green heightmap as @rogerpodacter has, which does not mean that the first layer cannot be printed absolutely perfectly

Unfortunatley not... and this is my 2nd cast alu bed for a hell amount of money.......

@norder said in Mesh bed compensation issue:

Measure the area where the BLTouch goes after the conversion, remember the M564 command I gave you in comment #15.
Measure the points and coordinates from the example sketch.
Changing the axis limits in the config.g with the new insights from the M564 thingy.

I have done these all now I am just printing my test.

So I have to vote now. Today is elected here in Germany / Lower Saxony.
I hope there will be positive changes after that.
It can't go on like this.

Haha By the way I am also living in Germany at the moment (since 4 years) but I am moving in 1,5 month

@norder it turned out perfect on the entire surface really close to the sides too. Ignore that single ca 5x5 mm spot on the fron left short piece (picture is rotate 90 deg to the right now...). All around is perfect so it was jsut some grease on the plate. It is nice to work on the print surface....
I hope it will stay like this now forever

Thank you for all the support.

@kiki0000 I was going to respond to your updated bed mesh, where the left side was angled sloping downwards. this to me is a very good result and shows your bed is very flat, but the left horizontal Y rail was simply out of plane with the other Y rail. Once you get symmetrical probe points, the left over is is hardware related, which one final adjustment should fix it permanently.

Then i see you mentioned something about grease, and now you have good results. I hope your bed mesh is looking good now.

@kiki0000
It's wonderful that the print result is now usable. The thing about the unusable area because of the offset Z assembly is annoying, but not a broken leg.
In all the years I have only used the complete print bed for one printed part, there was only a few mm of space at the edge.

Oh, you live in Germany, where about?
Then you can speak German and I'll break one off here to write it in such a way that even a cryptic translation can still be understood.
Where should we go at the turn of the year (relocation)... in the south?

[kiki0000]

@rogerpodacter this is how my heightmap looks like. I definitely have a higher band on the left side but now it is straight and the prints look perfect.

Thank you for the support.

I could somehow make my print head smaller and putting the BL touch closer to the head. Then I would get my ca 30mm back.

I think I have never printed full bed...

I live in Munich.

I can speak German a little bit but English is definitely better for me.

I am originally hungarian and we will move back there. We bought a house there (around Munich this is impossible) and now I will have a nice workshop at home (basically 2 because an electrical and a mechanical in the garage) I am super excited.

@kiki0000
Munich... expensive patch.

Hungary... very nice... when I hear Hungary I always think of lots of nature and friendly down-to-earth people who are content with what they have.
I would like to see Hungary for myself.
Who knows, if my dream of an expedition vehicle comes true, we might meet at the gas station or in the supermarket and nobody will know about the other.

I would recommend to visit lake Balaton (Plattensee) . It is really nice and huge.
