hey guys, so my buddy just put a BLtouch on his non duet board and he had to set the touch to probe before the print then save the points it pulled to get the first layer, here is the gcode he used.

do we need to do something like that?

G28 ; home all axes
G1 Z10 F600 ; raise Z axis
M190 S[bed0_temperature] ; stabilize bed
M109 S[extruder0_temperature] ; stabilize extruder
G1 X5 Y10 Z0.2 F3000 ; move to wait position
G28; Home all axes
G29; bed leveling
M500; Store bed settings
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 E90 F1500 ; load filament
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 X160 E15 F600 ; prime nozzle
G1 X180 F5000 ; quick wipe

I reprinted the mount, this was for the ender 3 but fits okay on my ender 5.

I have taped a white paper and the results were the same as without it.

What you see in the picture is as close as I can get it withought having th nozzle drag on the glass. I can use the baby steps during a print to move it but when I remove that amount in my config it makes no difference.

@Phaedrux

Of course.

@Phaedrux I’m not sure my probe is working correctly, no matter what I do it either eaves the nozzle to far from the bed (this is 85% of the time) or it is way to close and no filament comes out. Should I try moving the probe up a tad bit?

I checked the squareness of the frame when I put it together and thought it was pretty damn good.

@JoergS5

i have went around multiple points on the bed and done the paper trick to get the bed as level as i think i possible can. advice on how to get it more accurate? thank you!

@Phaedrux

got it to finally work, but it looks worse lol

@jumpedwithbothfeet

hey guys, sorry for the delay, got sick and was having a down system at work.

so i set it back to:
M557 X10:175 Y10:215 P8

and here is what i get:

GCode end-of-file being interpreted.

@JoergS5 soooooo i need a new bed?

@JoergS5 hmmmmm when i untighten the screws the bed goes up, when i tighten its pulled down.

@JoergS5

not sure what you mean int the xy but not the z direction
