Z axis adjustment

synergy41

Hello everyone,

Here I am back with my TEVO LITTLE MONSTER.

After trying to adjust my Z axis, I followed the following procedure:

1- Approach of the nozzle on a block of 0,10mm, after I enter the command G92 Z0 to define the current position as z = 0.

2-Then I enter G30 S-1 the value that is displayed is Z 2,745.

3- Then I open my file "Config.g" and I enter the value 2,745 at this line

Z probe and compensation definition; *** If you have a switch instead of an IR probe, change P1 to P4 in the following M558 command
G31 X0 Y25 Z2.745 P500; Set the zprobe height and threshold

4- I then run G29 S0 to probe the entire bed, no worries everything goes smoothly.

5- Then when I run an impression my nozzle is found 2mm off the board.

What can be my problem.

Thank you .

What does the height map look like after you run G29 S0 ?

Hello,
here is what the map looks like.

I am attaching my print start code if it can help you.

"M280 P3 S160 I1 ; Reset the error status of the BL Touch probe
M140 S60 ; Set Bed Temperature
M104 S220 ; Set Extruder Temperature
G28 ; Home all axes
G28 ; Home all axes
G29 S1 ; load the height map
G1 Y-145 X0 Z60 ; Move to 145mm on the Y axis and 0mm on the X axis
G1 E35 ; Extruding 35.00mm of material
G4 P7000"

Thank you

Try adding G29 S2 before the G28 command. Homing with the height map already activated can give some surprising results.

David
I just entered the command G29 S2 before the command G28, but still nothing new, my nozzle is always above the board.
At this line "G31 X0 Y25 Z2.745 P500" the value Z must be in positive sign?
I have a bl touch.

dc42

Yes, the Z parameter is positive if the probe triggers before the nozzle touches the bed.

What I suspect has happened is that before you ran G29 S0 to generate the height map, you ran auto calibration, which set accurate delta parameters; but you didn't copy them back into config.g.

Run auto calibration.
Run M665 and M666 without parameters and note the values down.
Compare those values with the M665 and M666 parameters in config.g.

Thank you David,
That seems a lot to me now.
On the other hand if I want to crush one can my 1st layer, I must play on this line: G31 X0 Y25 Z2.745 P500; Set the zprobe height and threshold.
That's right ?
you must increase or decrease the value of Z.
Thank you for everything.

You can do that; however if you want to crush the first layer deliberately, I suggest you either use the "Z offset" facility of your slicer if it has one, or use M290 to send an absolute babystepping command in your start GCode.
