Z probe... How to define the 3 Points?

HotwireHotwire
in Extruder & Bed
I have been PULLING out the last of my hair... I have defined 3 point that are within the 240 x 140 bed on my Cloner. How ever... when I start an auto leveling... it goes to point 1... NO PROBLEM... point too is a little more off... then point 3.... in centered in the X but crashes into the Y max... What am I doing wrong? are the points ACTUAL points? or are they the location COMPARED to the previous point? Thanks for any help. I hope im not bald by the weekend... its suppose to be sunny out.

    They are points and normally you forgot that they are stored in eeprom when they are not where expected. Just change them in eeprom editor!

    So, I did as you said. I updated the EEPROM. So now it doesn't crash on the 3rd point. What it DOES do is it tries to go past the MIN switches for a second, then moves to the first point. BUT.... If I have NOT homed the X,Y it promptly moves to the first point without the intial crash that it does when it is already X and Y home.

    Do
    G1 X100 Y100 F6000
    before starting autoleveling. My guess is that your z probe position is such that activating it on 0,0 crashes it past limit switch.

    Thank you, that's exactly what was happenening. Even if I had it already homed, it would try to re-home PAST the current position. I put in the G1 X100 y100 F6000 it would move to the X100 and y100, THEN it would re-home and start as if it was normal... As we all know so far... my printer... is NOT NORMAL!

    I can not follow. You don't have a delta or why should it home when starting autoleveling? Only deltas home and then all types activate probe and go to first test position.
