Issues bed levelling
Hi
I'm having issues setting up bed levelling.
I have a Melzi board and so don't have the option of using Z_Max as I don't have a Z_MAX pin. (I have tried changing the Z_MIN pin to Z_Max but I can't figure it out - Have tried changing pin in pins.h, also specifying pin in config.h. with no joy) Any suggestions?
I get the whole Z_MAX argument, I just can't implement it with my board and I don't want to completely change my board.
So if I can't use a Z_MAX endstop, I'm left with either disabling my Z endstop and always G32 as the first thing (which I'm not wanting to do), or figuring a way to use Z min endstop and Z probe together. I feel like I'm nearly there but my issue with disabling the endstop checks is that when I place a G32 my probe/extruder always want to crash into my X min endstop. (I really want a way to have my Z_Min endstop only for homing like in Marlin Firmware) The only way I seem to be able to bypass this issue is to put a 'G1 X50 Y50' into the probing start up scrip to move it away from the X min endstop. but this is not consistently working in combination with a G28. This is why I wanted to try the development firmware, but I'm getting a:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It misses the comments and unused parts. Open this file file in the config tool

If the firmware is in CNC mode, it can control a mill with M3/M4/M5. It works
similar to laser mode, but mill keeps enabled during G0 moves and it allows
setting rpm (only with event extension that supports this) and milling direction.
It also can add a delay to wait for spindle to run on full speed.

========== End configuration string ==========
You need a separate pin for z probe. You can use any free digital pin on the board. The endstop pins just have the advantage of having 5V/GND as additional pins so you have power in addition by just using a 3 pin switch, but if you connect power somewhere else it would also work.
off the top of my head i’m Not sure the melzi has any other spare digital pins unless I mess with the LCD connector port (which I don’t want to do.)
thanks
Now to calibrate the Z probe!
MISO/SCK/MOSI can only be used if you do not need them for sd card or other SPI devices, but you seem to have found a free pin, so good job.
Thanks again
1. issue above of once homed planning to move any step in the negative z axis (0.01mm or above) and the hot end automatically lowers to the z Max length but when I send an M114 the z is at 0.0 ( its 0.0 when it’s homed at Z Max) is this normal or is there an issue with my configuration.h?
2. I can do a z probe calibration and then Home and send a G32 S2, and I got it to print once. (Hence I thought success) but when I go to print now, once it’s probed the bed and then homed it lowers to the bed but then goes bellow it causing a crash. I’m confused.
When I go to print I want it to lower to a safe height then move to the bed, not crash into it.
3. When I calibrate the probe, I’ve been doing it in the centre of the bed, is this correct? Or should I do it close to 0,0
Thanks
Then next question is right z probe height. Autoleveling with that value set wrong can crash into bed at z=0. You can use that as calibration to correct z probe height. Go to Z=10 and then slowly till you hit bottom. Then remaining z is the error in z probe height. So correct and repeat until z=0 is where you need it.
I just can’t seem to calibrate my z probe correctly.
I have followed your instructions both here and the online z probe calibration instructions.
My printer is now doing all movements as it should. I have also physically levelled the bed as best as I can.
I move my hot end to the centre of the bed with G1 X75 Y75 Z5 (so 5mm off the bed)
So ZHold=5.0
Then I send a G30 P0 and get a probing distance of 6.29
So Z0 = 6.29
Then I heat my hot end and bed and remove all excess filament and retract
M114 returns a Zprobe height of 5.0mm
So Z old = 5.0mm (ZHold = Zold)
Then I adjust my nozzle so it touches my metal block of known height (2.1mm)
So Ref Height = 2.1 mm
I send an M114 - Znew= 2.89
This gives me an offset of 2.82
I set this in to my probe height in EEPROM. I ensure my Print bed offsets and dimensions match the printer host but I still get the probe too close to the bed.
G31 tells me my probe is working correctly.
When I go to print I am always too close to the bed by 0.5mm
With baby stepping i can adjust during the first layers and I am 0.5mm too close. However when I then adjust my probe height to account for this in EEPROM I am still too close by 0.5mm. Each time I adjust by the baby stepping amount of 0.5mm off the bed I get closer. (I am homing after each adjustment)
I am now at -0.2mm z probe height (and this can’t be correct even just by eyeballing!
Which is miles off my calibration. I want to calibrate it properly not achieve a probe height by trial and error and even that isn’t working. Where am I going wrong? Please help.
Thanks
Homing adds extra correction for z homing like bed coating under some configurations. So that can influence result. Also make sure
#define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 2
so if it moves xy at top it will not block z by triggering it due to correction. This reduces z length by 2mm. And at the end you can still correct z probe length by the error you have if nothing helps.
My bed coating setting is off (0)
I will check the
#define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 2
My main issue I also need help with was in the previous post which I have inserted here:

#define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 2
and bed coating tweaked so start height is now good, what does "my layers are still poor" mean? Bed is mainly responsible for first layer and following layer are independent, so what exactly do they look like (photo). Flow rate and temperature and speed are the typical parameters to tweak mid print layer quality.
Can I assume that now the bed levelling has been set up, that the probe is no longer used for the prints unless further adjustment is required. What I mean is that do I need the probe switched on for every print now or can I leave it off until I need to readjust the probing?
Thanks for all you help. Fingers crossed that’s me now.
Results are stored in eeprom so unless you change bed or screws etc no leveling is needed.
I set the Z height both in EEPROM and the host. I also have my bed coating set. The calibration for the z probe height is loaded to EPROM. and all is set.
I then perform a G32 S2
Following completion of homing prior to setting a print, my EEPROM Z Max Hright has changed to a highe value. I have no idea why as I have not personally made any changes. Do you have any suggestions?
Loaded EEPROM/ host Z height 122.77
(Following G32 S2 and then homing- Z Max height in EEPROM = 128.52 ????????????????? Why??
