@dc42 My replacement for the thermistor is arrived. That solved the problem.

Calibration is now the problem. After setting the trigger height and z0 I wanted to Run Delta calibration. This is going well. But the mesh compansation is not going well : Error: G29: Probe was not triggered during probing move
The nozzle even goes besides the bed? I have in config.g : M557 R95 S10. The bed is 20cm in diameter,

Z probing works fine. If I touch/push bed it gets a z-probe 1000 in stead of 0.

When I test a print it first touches the bed. Then it goes up a bit during moving. Than it touches the bed and then up again. It prints in the air. So the calibration is very wrong.

@droftarts

You can see my daughterboard (yellow arrow). I ordered a PT100 for a e3D.

@droftarts oh sorry, it is a spare. So I think it is a original. An thank you for your patience. Due to lack of time I'm on and off with this printer conquest.

@droftarts do you know how? When the two wires Connect I get as circuit error.
The sensor itself is a resistor? So soldering without touching eachother?

@droftarts aha oke the wires are lose from the temperature sensor. Is this fixable?

@dc42 the wires have to be connected to that round thing?

They are now lose

@dc42 still this even I plugged it to spi.cs2 and changed the code M308 S1 P"spi.cs2" Y"rtd-max31865"

Heater 1 fault: failed to read sensor: hardwareError

@dc42 Sensor 1 type PT100 (MAX31865) using pin spi.cs1, last error hardwareError, reading 2000.0, 2/4 wires, reject 50Hz, reference resistor 400.00 ohms

@dc42 Another problem. I had to change the cilinder and the heat block. Now it gives : Heater 1 fault: failed to read sensor: hardwareError

The heater gives 2000deg C. The 2 wires of the thermistor where lose in the heat block.
I connected the wires like this. So it doesn't toch the heat block.

@droftarts what about M557?

For a round printbed diameter 20cm?

M557 R95 S30

is this a good approach (chatgpt)?

@droftarts Oke this seems to work.

But my print is still letting lose on the bed. What can I do about that.
Temp bed is 60deg. Or is PLA not good anymore

@Phaedrux I'm really close now. But the calibration is not going well. It seems that 1 side is slightly lower than other. With the delta calibration button it gives errors:

Error: Compensation or calibration cancelled due to probing errors

Error: G30: Probe already triggered at start of probing move

Is there a way to calibrate manually?

@Phaedrux in my last picture you See the glass plate. At the back a metal thing is slightly bend. The plate gets a little stuck in the metal frame. So the plate is not levelled well.

@Phaedrux yes the trigger works over the hole plate. Where I push It, the trigger response with m119.
It Will be a hard task to get the plate straight. Stupid metal pins are bend.

@Phaedrux I'm getting close.
The print bed is still a problem. It is not flat. Te clips are bend.

I printed something and it looked like it. But still not very good.

The calibrating is not good yet due to the print bed.

@Phaedrux Yes, I changed the mm steps.

*Have you gone through the probe testing and calibration steps from that link earlier?
I tried that but it seems I'm missing something.

For instance, have you confirmed that you can stop Z movement during a G30 by taping the bed manually? As in, does the probe seem to be working?
Aha. One side it's not responding. The plate has 3 blocks underneath. At 2 sides the nozzle stops.
I will check the wiring again.

Triggerheight testing:
G30 S-1
Stopped at height -0.375 mm

So I did G92 Z0. After that G31 command gives:
Z probe 0: current reading 0, threshold 500, trigger height -4.700, offsets X0.0 Y0.0

@Phaedrux when I push a button in the webbrowser like z-50 then the nozzle seems to go 50mm down.
I followed the step as in the document for the Trigger height.
M561
M564 S0
G92 Z0
Jog the head up by 5 to 10mm
G30 S-1
Then g31 and then that value into the config.g. When I perform a delta calibration afterwards the nozzle seems to be 5mm above the bed.
Mesh calibration is not working proberly because I don’t know how that is working.
M557 R100 S20 is What I created.

@Phaedrux It's still not clear to me what kind of probe I have got. If I have the configuration right for the probe I have declared now (see history). Something is not right. Also mesh compensation is doing strange things. I think I declared it right for my Delta : M557 R100 S10. But the nozzle goes down and to the x axis and off the bed.

@Phaedrux
After delta calibration (button) the z is made 0 again. But The nozzle tip is about 6mm above printbed.
I did :
M564 S0
G30 S-1
G92 Z0
G31 adjustment in the code
many times. After calibrating it is again off.
I think my height in config (override config and homedelte) of Z320mm is wrong. I also tried 300, 310, 315. It is still going wrong.
What am I missing?

Spec of tractus 3d t650p says:
Build Volume with Lexan (mm) 170 diameter x 285 height (315 center)
Build height 300 mm (11.8”)

When I print benchy. The print is not what it should be...

@droftarts
It seems that with 50mm the nozzle only goes 25mm down
