      Good,

      At the end of the G32 calibration process I do not get any results. I manually test the points and there is no calibration.

      This is my bed.g

      ; Auto calibration routine for delta printers
      ; Before running this, you should have set up your zprobe Z offset to suit your build, in the G31 command in config.g.

      M561 ; clear any bed transform, otherwise homing may be at the wrong height
      G31 X0 Y0 ; don't want any probe offset for this
      G28 ; home the printer

      ;* Remove the following line if your Z probe does not need to be deployed
      M98 Pdeployprobe.g ; deploy the mechanical Z probe**

      ; The first time the mechanical probe is used after deployment, it gives slightly different results.
      ; So do an extra dummy probe here. The value stored gets overwritten later. You can remove this if you use an IR probe.
      G30 P0 X0 Y0 Z-99999

      ; Probe the bed and do 6- or 7-factor auto calibration
      G30 P0 X0 Y115.00 Z-99999
      G30 P1 X82.27 Y76.15 Z-99999
      G30 P2 X90.93 Y-23.85 Z-99999
      G30 P3 X0 Y-76.35 Z-99999
      G30 P4 X-90.93 Y-23.85 Z-99999
      G30 P5 X-82.27 Y76.15 Z-99999
      G30 P6 X0 Y57.50 Z-99999
      G30 P7 X41.14 Y30.08 Z-99999
      G30 P8 X45.47 Y-11.93 Z-99999
      G30 P9 X0 Y-38.18 Z-99999
      G30 P10 X-45.47 Y-11.93 Z-99999
      G30 P11 X-41.14 Y30.08 Z-99999
      G30 P12 X0 Y28.65 Z-99999 S6

      ;* Remove the following line if your Z probe does not need to be retracted
      M98 Pretractprobe.g ; retract the mechanical Z probe**

      G1 X0 Y0 Z215 F10000 ; get the head out of the way of the bed

      Yes that completes the process of testing the 13 points, but when finished in Z215 does not show the results and if I do a manual check the bed is uneven.

      I am using Duet Eternet v1.21 + Bltouch in my Mini Kossel.

      I hope you help me.

      Thank you

        Someone correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't the line below

        G30 P12 X0 Y28.65 Z-99999 S6

        be something like below for the 13 points?

          Hello,

          It is assumed that the "S" is for the type of calibration. An S6 adjust homing switch corrections, delta radius, and X and Y tower position offsets

            Correct. The number of probe points must be at least as high as that S parameter.

              1. Which firmware version are you using?

              2. What M558 and G31 commands do you have in config.g?

              3. Does the bltouch probe all the points when you run G32?

              4. After running G32, are there any messages in the GCode Console page of DWC?

                1.21

                Yes

                No message

                And another anomaly that I have also detected recently has happened to me with this firmware that the config.g file has disappeared from the micro sd repeatedly.

                  I can see a few things that are for much older firmware than 1.21 although I don't think they should cause the problem you describe.

                  In the M558 command in config.g:

                  • change P5 to P9
                  • remove the X0 Y0 Z0 commands
                  • change H5 to H20 until your calibration is good
                  • F2000 is very high, I suggest you reduce it to F500 until you have this working. Later you can test the bltouch reproducibility at various speeds.

                  In bed.g:

                  • remove the G31 command. Note that this will place the Z probe at the point in bed.g, nit the nozzle, so the probe points will shift 2.64mm in the Y direction. So check that they are all still on the bed and reachable by the bltouch.
                  • remove both M98 commands
                  • remove the G30 dummy probe command

                  Please check on the Settings General page of DWC that all 3 firmware versions are 1.21.

                  If the config.g file has disappeared, that suggests a problem with the SD card or the associated subsystem. It may be wise to try another SD card.

                    Perfect,

                    When I return home, I will make the changes suggested.

                    If I have any questions, I will ask you again.

                    Thanks and best regards

                      Hello,

                      I have made the changes and now it seems that the G32 calibration is running correctly.

                      On the other hand, when it says "remove the G30 dummy probe command" does it mean removing all G30 from the bed.g file?

                      As for the firmware, that's how I got it

                      Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi / Ethernet
                      Firmware Electronics: Duet Ethernet 1.02 or later
                      Firmware Version: 1.21 (2018-03-21)
                      Web Interface Version: 1.21

                        No, just the first one, which had the comment about it being a dummy probe on the previous line. That additional probe is only needed for the Mini Kossel Allen key type of probe.

                        It sounds like you are good to go! If you have copied the new M665 and M666 parameters into your config.g file, then you can reduce the M558 H parameter back to about 5 to speed up probing.

                              I calculated the probe positions, to match the coordinates in a macro, to check, if the calibration has an effect.
                              it looks like the "H correction" makes no difference. No matter what i do.
                              Because i use a glass surface, i think it should be flat.
                              So endstop correction or tilt correction should be enough to meassure before i start a print.

                              Thank you for your time

                                When you run G32 to auto-calibrate:

                                • Does the calibration operation report success?
                                • If so, what deviation is reported, and what happens when you try to print?

                                  Sorry for my late answer.

                                  The deviation is zero after calibration:
                                  Calibrated 4 factors using 4 points, deviation before 4.954 after 0.000
                                  When i tried to print, the nozzle is to high/low always at the same areas.
                                  Even when i changed an H-parameter to 0.8.
                                  One thing is a bit strange. When i try to print, the intro line is always a bit higher than the rest of the first layer. I had this behaviour already with ramps.

                                  Edit:
                                  It looks, like this guy has the same problems as i:
                                  https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5175/duet-level-bed-and-g29-32

                                  Edit2:
                                  Inbetween i changed every of the three H-parameter between 0.5 and 1.5 milimeter and printed some small 10x10mm surfaces as close to the probe point as possible.
                                  There is no visible difference between the prints.
                                  Deviation is always more or less the same before and zero after calibration.
                                  I think there is something in the firmware, that overrides the results.
                                  which sys-files could i delete? are there some values which could be safed accidently to the eeprom?
                                  I changed to 3 factor calibration but there was no visible difference.

                                    You will always get zero deviation if the number of probe points is equal to the number of factors you calibrate. To get a better idea of how good the calibration is, use more probe points. Most people use 6 or 8 factor calibration.

                                      Thank you. I will try more calibration points or factors next time.
                                      My idea was, to calibrate not to many factors every time. Just the ones, which could change between the prints.
                                      Delta radius, tower angular position and diagonal rod length should always stay the same, once they are calibratet. Or am i wrong?

                                        That is correct. So 3-factor calibration before each print should be sufficient. But you might still want to use more than 3 points.

                                          After a while i found a bit of time to work on my delta again.
                                          Thought about setting the duet up completely from zero.
                                          Is it possible that i have to put a "S2" after the G32 to get an effect?
                                          I tried now to print some small surfaces, just where to probe touches the glass.
                                          Then i adjusted the H values in bed.g. Now it looks a bit better, everytime i do this.
                                          The deviation is still a bit high, i think:
                                          Calibrated 3 factors using 7 points, deviation before 0.249 after 0.131
                                          Is it possible to do a double touch with the sensor?
                                          Thank you for your time

                                            Multi-touch is controlled by the A and S parameters in the M558 command, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M558_Set_Z_probe_type.

                                            A reminder: H corrections to the G30 probe points in bed.g should only be made if you have established that your Z probe has a different trigger height at different probe points (typically caused by effector tilt that varies with XY position).
