Maybe I am doing this wrong.
Right now what I do is turn on the printer and heat up the bed and extruder (to account for thermal expansion).
Making sure I have no filament oozing, I then do an auto bed compensation and let the probe do its thing. I then start the print. Every-time I do this, the print head is too far apart from the bed.
Now, am I supposed to set what z=0 is? Or does auto bed compensation take care of this?
Guys,
Sorry if this comes as a repost, but I never got around to fixing this and I am starting to print again.
Hi all
I'd appreciate some help with an issue I am having with my duet3d setup.
Rostock V3 Max with duet wifi FSR Probing.
I found the measured Z offset needed for my setup (confirmed by the baby stepping amount and also measured when sending Z=0 initially. My Z offset calls for -0.180mm . I set it at the config.g file and found that it does not do anything. Even after I set that value to the Z offset needed, I find I have to baby step by the same amount every print. Can someone see if I am missing something here?
Basically after I do my probing, I have to move my nozzle down about 0.2mm down in the direction of the build plate to get a decent first layer.
Should this value be -0.2 or 0.2 in the G31 code?

@dc42 said in Starting a Print Sequence:
No, if you have set up your FSR probing system correctly, then you can probe just before printing and the firmware will know where Z=0 is. You need to tell the firmware what the trigger height of the Z probe system is in the G31 Z parameter. For FSRs it will be slightly negative, e.g. -0.1 or -0.2mm.
Thanks David for the clarification. Now should I be doing this when the plate is hot?
I’ve done this and it seems as if every single time I start a build my nozzle is either too high or too low.

Sure,

Now Im confused though. Am I supposed to slide a piece of paper or feeler gauge and lower the right amount to barely touch with the nozzle and send the G92 Z0 command to set that as Z=0? Or does the auto calibration do that with my bed.g file?
Do we have to manually tell the printer what z=0 by command when I trap a paper between the bed and the nozzle?
Hi all. I’ve been having issues with my delta and the first layer. Seems to always be a hit or miss. I have an FSR probing system.
My current procedure is, start the printer, heat the bed up to temp and then run auto cal. Once that’s done, heat the nozzle and start print.
Am I supposed to manually set z=0 via the G92 function at first? I currently never do this and find that sometimes baby steps helps and sometimes it doesn’t.
Can we post up a step by step procedure of what should be done?
Thanks!
Actually, my slicer does not include that. I just looked at the script for starting a print...
Guys,
I have a driver motor that is failing and I need to finish a part while I get the board warrantied. I have a rostock v3 and the driver that is failing is the z axis driver. I have E1 stepper driver free, can anyone point me in the right direction to what I have to change in the config file?
Thanks!
Hi all! any ideas how I can wire this guys to control it via the Duet3d web interface?

I was gifted it and I could put it to good use for a heated chamber.
I'd appreciate any help I could receive.
Thank you!
