Ender 3 homing and Mesh Grid Compensation
-
Greetings!
I'm having an issue correcting my z-homing and Mesh Grid Compensation.The first problem is when I Home All. The Z will rise several mm, home x and y, move to the center of the bed on y, grinds against x end stop, moves down x slightly, moves to coordinates specified and homes z, raises back up, grinds against x end stop again, then parks at roughly x0 and yMid. I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Attached is my config.g and homeall.g. I have a sensor that is offset from the nozzle at X40 y-2.

You can step through each line of your home all.g (cut and paste them one by one into the console) that allows you to tune exactly what behaviour you want from homing. Normally it's best to get homex,y,z working individually and then combine them.

I ran through it line by line using G-Code Console. I still do not know were I am going wrong in my homez.g. Moving or swapping the G90 and G91 commands produces similar results. Below is what I have tried using for homez and below that is the result.

G91 ; All cordinates based on last position
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z 5mm
G90 ; All cordinates based on origin
G1 X62 Y117 ; Move to center of bed (roughly)
G30 ; Probe straight down;Grinds X end stop
;Z probes X0 Y0
;Grinds X end stop
;Places probe at X62 Y0 Z35 but Head position reads X0 Y0 Z35 -
@pratical I am not sure what exactly the problem is. you say a particulat move grinds the X endstop. so why not send a move the moves to the correct position rather than into the X endstop?

I meant to say that the result at the bottom happens when G30 is sent. My apologies.

you have the X offset to 48mm, is that correct? you report that its moving to X62 as well which is weird.
If you centre the nozzle in X and Y and make a mark on the bed just under the nozzle, then job the axis until the probe is over that mark, the difference in X and Y reading will be your probe offset to setup G31 correctly.

G30 ; Probe straight downThat Z homing file uses a Z probe for homing. Do you have a Z probe on your machine? If so, have you tested and calibrated it? See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe.

What was the fix for your X grinding at endstop?
