  • Hi,I finally found the solution - z-axis had wrong step setup - too many steps, I found the appropriate data for z-axis screws and recalculated. Instead 1600 it is 400 :-).I also use Cura slicer now, giving the best results for this machine. Thanks …
  • It seems I have to "deep dive" to mechanics, as seller is unable to tell me appropriate info for setup (delivered with Merlin). I will investigate, setup and let you know results. Thanks.
  • I think I have found it - 0.3 is first layer height, so I think I must recalculate Z stepping, as I used data from the seller, but its data  could be wrong. Printer goes to the first layer, but it is not right height, as stepping is wrong, so the he…
  • Gcode manually: M107M190 S65 ; set bed temperatureM104 S205 ; set temperatureG28 ; home all axesG1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle M109 S205 ; wait for temperature to be reachedG21 ; set units to millimetersG90 ; use absolute coordinatesM82 ; use absolute di…
  • Yes, G1 Z0  works, only one problem which lasts is printing in wrong height.OK, I will send gcodes manualy and will let you know. Thanks.
  • This was caused by Y coordinate, that probe was not 100% above bed, so did not triggered. It triggers, when 100% of the probe area is above the bed. I had to setup Y offset to asure right position above bed and reliable triggering.
  • How to proceed? Is there some config.h I could use to test the printer, or what you would recommend? I think somewhere in the firmware setting (I tested all slicers in R host) is command to rise the level and printer does not go to the Z0 then. When…
  • I have   #define ZHOME_PRE_RAISE 0#define ZHOME_PRE_RAISE_DISTANCE 0
  • I see, the error (L/H) was caused by position of the probe - on the bed edge, so it did not triggered. I set up small y offset, and it is OK. You are right, I do not modify Z, it is 0 in slicer (checked all slicers in Repetier Host V2.0.0) but it st…
  • I experimented with changing board from MPX3 to RAMPS 1.4, but x/y movements didnt function well.Compiled completely new dev version, chcecked endstops, did G32 S2 autoleveling Old Z+2 printing level is still there. Homing Z sets the correct Z0...  …
  • But after emergency stop homing Z goes to Z0...Reset g92 Z0, then print again (now Z_min is still OK)In fact, after bed heating G1 Z5 F5000 - lift nozzle - waits for heating, then prints in the lift nozzle height - does not go down to the Z0. G-code…

  • Missing Z_min is peculiar, as I use the same config.h for dev and stable versions. Stable has z_min, dev not. I will double check again - I think sometimes the configuration tool alters some parameters if I switch dev and stable, so I rather edit co…
  • I changed firmware to 0.9.2.9, probe leveling function better, than Dev (same config.h).  Printing: Prusa Slicer - best result, but when printing, it goes into bed, probably - 2 mm :-) // dev goes + 2mmSlicer - good, goes + 2 mmCura - bad, goes + 2 …

  • now playing with g30 on different x/y. When almost on the odge opposite x/y home, G30 causes moving UP with error "could not activate z-probe offset due to coordinate constrains... why? almost all bed G30 is OK... because it could be over config set…

  • Stop before trigger: there is no message in the log. It just stops, no info in the log. Homing with preheat: I have never used this - how to activate? I have found M109 S[temperature] ; set the extruder temp and wait - is that OK? M119 will test whe…
  • g92 does nothing... (any parameter x, y, z)
  • After print:G28G1 Z0it does nothing - it think it has z at 0G1 Z2 goes 2 upG1 Z-2 does nothinghoming Z stops on 2.3 without probe trigger
  • Interesting is, that in the past, with using the recommended Z calibration, once the first layer was OK - but the other were +2.3 mm... then all the time the Z0 is Z0 + 2.3 mm
  • G32, G1 Z0 is Z0 = m114 - 0.00 Print - + cca 2.3 mm, but m114 says z 0.00 #define ALWAYS_CHECK_ENDSTOPS 0 Printer heats, but when heat is OK, go downs to "Z0" which is not real Z0... (+ 2,...mm).
  • Printing adds cca 2.3 mm (from z0) G32 again after print  19:19:52.821 : g32 s219:19:52.914 : Z correction disabled19:19:52.915 : Info:Autoleveling disabled19:19:55.002 : Z-probe:1.259 X:0.00 Y:0.0019:19:56.196 : Z-probe:1.350 X:0.00 Y:60.0019:19:58…

  • I changed Z_PROBE_ON_HIGH 0 (was 1), G32 OK, but prints still high - its lower, but not on Z :-(
  • Now endstops m119: x_min:L y_min:L Z-probe state:H but probe is off... (using case 2)
  • OK, thanks!
  • Thanks,  so  both cases are equal for autoleveling probe as Z-Min without Z-Max endstop? I am little confused, I cant understand the basic principle...
  • So I set and will test: #define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 1 #define MOVE_Z_WHEN_HOMED 2 #define ENDSTOP_PULLUP_Z_MAX false#define ENDSTOP_Z_MAX_INVERTING false#define MAX_HARDWARE_ENDSTOP_Z false#define max_software_endstop_r true #define min_software…
  • I can´t find any reason, why it prints 1.9 mm above the surface...  Thanks for any idea...
