One of the reasons I like the general 3d community is that you can ask the stupid/obvious question without being patronised or belittled. Everyone is always keen to help the beginner.

Many thanks.

@T3P3Tony I have 3 switches in series under the points on the bed. Calibration fails due to the z probe (bed switches) triggering when doing a move between trigger points, as if the effector isn't travelling horizontally. I'm going to raise the height that the nozzle stops at before starting the probe back to 30mm. Hadn't thought of that earlier, should give me a better chance of getting the auto calibration to complete. I had amended the dive height due to prior successful calibration.

@dugee turns out the switches are normally open so I'll be wiring in parallel.

Once I get this up and running I'll try and put a guide together in case anyone else plans on this board swap.

been working on calibration for about 2 hrs, mostly 3 factor, keeping it simple, then moved onto 6 factor. 1st height map shown here. I am astounded. For a printer I paid less than £90 for (then spent much more on some decent upgrades) I am seriously impressed.

Calibrated 6 factors using 16 points, deviation before 0.887 after 0.071

1st calibration run after putting the decimal place back in!

Dougal, you are my new hero.
