E3D BigBox
Hi,
I have a E3D BigBox Dual and considering giving Repetier a go. The controller is a RUMBA board. My setup is a bit different than regular BigBox as I use two Z stepper drivers, Z and Z1 where Z1 is connected to RUMBA motor out E2.
The BigBox has two lead screws centered on the left and right side of the bed and a smooth rod in each corner to make it as level/tram as possible. Then I have the usual 4 corner screws to manual level the bed. I use manual Mesh Bed Levling today to compensate for sag in the rods holding the carriage. I can get 0.15mm difference in the middle of the bed. The Z-probe is only used for homing today.
If anyone could enlighten me I would be very happy.
- The BigBox has a dump bucket / docking area where the extruder can go Y_MAX + 40, It does not have much room in the X axis so whenever there is a tool change between extruders it must not move along X. Will this be a problem?
- Does Repetier support dual Z endstops to level the bed?
- Does Repetier support the Z-probe to level the bed with dual Z stepper drivers?
- Does it support a grid Z-probe leveling together with dual Z stepper drivers?
- It looks like what I'm really looking for is an automated grid leveling saving a "distortion map". This sounds like Marlins Mesh Bed Leveling (MBL)

Should P1 be front (towards me) left corner,
P2 front right corner and
P3 back left corner?
Probably just something I do not understand but why do you have the option of a grid autolevel (G32)? What is the point with a autolevel grid when the distortion map will take care of the bumps/sag? Wouldn't the BED_LEVELING_METHOD 0 or 2 suffice?
Bed coating (Z_PROBE_Z_OFFSET) is 0. My Config.
