Dc42 ir probe on the way

Torro

it was not enabled. tried M376 H10 and have the same problem.

Torro

i have to print some parts, so i loaded the "old" config.g and leveld like before.

is there a way to configure the printer like it is now and i can play around with the probe?

that´s the "old" config.g before the probe came.

Endstops
M574 X1 Y1 S0 ; Set active high endstops

; Z-Probe
;M558 P0 H5 F120 T6000 ; Disable Z probe but set dive height, probe speed and travel speed
;M557 X14:13 Y14:195 S20 ; Define mesh grid

When you enable the height map (G29 S1), if you send G1 X commands to do left/right moves, can you see the bed dropping when you move the carriage to low X and rising when you move it to high X?

Torro

No, there is no movement.

Z0 @ Xmin pushes the nozzle in the bed, Z0 @Xmax is too far away. When i use babystepping to get the nozzle to the correct distance, i have an offset of about 0,2mm. In the middle of the bed, it's fine.

@Torro, did you resolve this?

Torro

no, the probe seems to have problems with my bed surface.
i gave up the leveling.

If it's a transparent surface then the IR probe doesn't give good results unless the underside of the transparent surface is black and the top surface is clean (not coated or scuffed).

@dc42 I'm having that issue with a PEI sheet unfortunately. I'm going to try to find a way to get a superthin, or at least even, coat of hairspray or something over it to get a decent height map generated.

Torro

It's not transparent and not shiny.
the probe measures different trigger heights at different positions.

dc42

PEI is transparent to near IR light.
