    • G28 Z probe off set

      When I run G28 ( x and y all fine ) the z axis lowers and the probe misses the bed as per picture . How can i compensate for this please .
      I think i can not print with out homing all the axis first ???

      Thanks

    • Is head movement defined in mm ?

      Hopefully this is a silly question .
      I presume that head movement in the Web control interface is defined in mm.

      so when I press x+1 the X should move 1 mm ( exactly , I can hope ) .
      I am at the calibration stage and just wanted to double check.

      Thanks

    • RE: BL Touch what to do next

      Thanks,
      I have worked through this and have hit one problem.
      When I home the z axis the x axis goes across to the side and then slowly lowers the Z but as you can see in the picture the probe is off the bed .
      I have tried the X compensation Both in positive and negative plus increasing the amount Currently at -41 actual amount is more like -27 and I have amended M557 to x35 and y35 to bring the probe in . In all cases the probe does not alter its off the bed position.

    • Stepper motor settings

      Another newbie question

      Do these numbers look sort of right for standard nema 17 steppers 1.8 deg
      The currents are set just below there maximum rating
      The X,Y,Z are v typical 1.8 deg steppers
      The extruder motor is a 0.9 deg ( the stepper for the E3D titan extruder )
      printer is an old formbot raptor , cartesian style .

      The M92 z4000 seems very high .

      I sort of get the meaning of the various lines but I dont know what is normal or at least expected ( ish )

      many thanks

    • BL Touch what to do next

      Help please what to do next ????

      BL Touch installed and seems to be working
      Run : M280 P3 S10 I1 ---- probe extends
      Run : M280 P3 S120 I1 ---- Probe extends , retracts , extends etc etc on about once a second . If I then touch the probe it stops and flashes red .

      Run : M280 P3 S160 I1 ----- Then ran the M code to allow me to lower the Z axis as I have not set up a home for the Z acts yet ( use the Z probe )

      I ended up with a Z axis number of -39.30 . the instructions then say to use that as the Z number in the G32 in the config file .

      surly that number is relative to where i start the the Z moment down from ??

      How do I progress on to using the bl touch as my Z stop , to say nothing to how to get it making up a bed mesh file

      This is the Z probe part from the config

      Z-Probe
      M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
      M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch
      M558 P9 H5 F120 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
      G31 P25 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
      M557 X15:375 Y15:375 S20 ; Define mesh grid

      any help gratefully received I think I am close to finally getting to print a test cube 🙂

    • BL Touch wiring the GND

      I see the bl touch has two GND coming from it and the are connected in the bl touch .
      Due to a lack of wires coming from the slave board at the extruder is it possible to wire the two GND wires to say the GND for the permanent fan or the extruder heater ???

      I have probed the duet board and I can see all the 24v GND ( neg ) are common but from what I can see the Z probe GND and Expansion pin 2 ( GND ) are NOT connected to each other or the 24v GND .
      Are there any solutions to avoid running more wires over from the extruder area .

      Back ground . I am converting a formbot raptor to use the duet wifi + titan extruder and E3D V6 and I am trying to keep it neat rather than a frankenstein of wires .

      Many thanks

    • RE: Newbie set up tools for extruder

      Ok so I have to enable Tool0 and then let the bed heat up . Then and only then I can run the extruder motor to see if I have it wired correctly .
      Understand this for normal operation , but it would be nice in set up mode to be able to just run the stepper on E0.... just saying .

      Thanks for info so easy once you can see what to do 🙂
