"Error: Probe was not triggered during probing move"
-
@T3P3Tony First of all, thank you very much for your time.
I have done the change you suggested to G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z-0.1
But I keep having the same Error when I do a G30. There is no "config-override. g" since I deleted the existing one and have not issued a M500 yet.
This is really driving me crazy...Any clue of what can be happening here?
Thanks in advance
-
@ignacmc is the Z0 being set correctly despite the error by the probing move?
-
@T3P3Tony You mean by jogging the nozzle down until touching the bed or gripping a sheet of paper and then issuing a G92 Z0?
-
@ignacmc I mean jogging the nozzle down and seeing if Z0 is infact at the bed (you can use a sheet of paper as you suggest to test this, accounting for the paper thickness it should grip a little above Z0.
I am not suggesting that you G92 to set Z0 at that point as a solution, just trying to get o the bottom of this because I have a quite similar setup to you on a delta printer a do not get the error at all.
-
@T3P3Tony Ok. First I have disabled axis with M564 S0, then I jog the nozzle down til it grabs the paper on the bed. Reading the display it says I am at X0 Y0 Z-9.92
In my config.g I have:
M665 R227.445 L440.718 B185 H420.232
I can't remember where this H420.232 came from, probably from a Delta Calibration long time ago. Should I add 9.92 to it?
Yesterday I tried with H450 without any success...
-
@ignacmc Ahh thats interesting, so the H value may be wrong - maybe that was from the set of config you generated recently. what was the H value before that?
What i meant for you to do was:
Home the printerSend G30 for a single probe.
then jog the nozzle down to see what height Z0 corresponded to.
-
@T3P3Tony Ok. done exactly as you asked me to do: First G28, then G30 and the nozzle hits the bed, gives me the same error again and it goes up to Z 29.90. jogging it down to Z 0 it is still like 10mm above bed. See photo at Z=0
-
@ignacmc ok for now set the H value in M665 to 435 and try again.
once this is working, you will need to run delta calibration again anyway.
Are the other M665 parameters correct, e.g. R and L?
-
@T3P3Tony Yes, I had tried with higher H before without success. Now I have just tried with:
M665 R227.445 L440.718 B185 H435
I believe that R, L and B are correct for a Anycubic Predator
Error keeps happening
-
@ignacmc ok so with the higher H, go through the steps again:
home the printer
send G30
then jog down and see where Z0 is
-
@T3P3Tony OK, repeating all process with H435 in M665. G28, then G30, touch bed, Error again and now after hitting bed it goes up to Z29.90, jogging down manually, the paper gets gripped at Z4.80 (positive)
-
-
@ignacmc one thing to check, please send G31 with no parameters after running through the last test.
Also to triple check, you are still on RRF 3.4.5?
-
@T3P3Tony Yes. I am still on 3.4.5 (2022-11-30) My birthday by the way ;-)...what a bad luck!
if I do G28, then G30 and finally G31 I got:
By the way even with the nozzle resting on the bed I still get "current reading 0" Is this normal?
Should I try to downgrade the firmware to an older version or upgrade to the latest beta?
Thank you so much for you time, Tony!
-
@ignacmc by the way, other people in my spanish Telegram group are telling me to change the cable, but I am reluctant to do it unless it is the last choice.
If the probe is detecting the bed and going back despite the Error this should prove the wiring is ok, right?
-
@ignacmc I think the wiring is correct, If the probe is resting on the bed with no force then it may still show 0, if you jog it down slightly it should trigger.
The only difference I can see is that you have the threshold set to 500, and I have it set to 100. Just to rule this out try:
G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z-0.1 -
@T3P3Tony Yes I had played with P100 sensivity before, but just in case I have followed your suggestion and retried just now.
Still getting the same error after G30
I am starting to hate this machine....;-) It is kinda cursed!
-
Have you recently disassembled the smart effector and reassembled?

Any clue about what is happening here? Can it be a hardware fault on the Smarteffector or the Duet3 Mini5+? How could I check this?
