Fantastic, thank you. I'd never have thought of trying that. Richard
-
Thanks for your response. The weird thing is that the Z-probe was triggering when the nozzle was about 5 - 6mm above the bed, the range of the sensor (yes, it is an IR sensor), is about 1.5 - 2.5mm so maximum range is only a few tenths of a millimet…
-
No unfortunately it is something else. The probe is not triggering and something else is causing this. I thought the auto levelling was working OK but the Z0 position was varying with no reason. One print would be fine but the next would be up to …

I'm embarrassed to say that I think you were correct on this - the sunlight was strong and must have been hiding the flashes! It seems to be working fine now, thanks. Richard

Yes, sorry, Z2 was a typo. It did exactly as it would when the Z-probe triggers except that the LED did not light thus indicating that it did not go close enough to the bed to detect it. This log extract follows a G32 S2 command. 12:36:01.070 : X…

I have run into a problem that I can't figure out with the Z-probing. Using the Z-max endstop, I set Z-height (189.827mm), then set the Z-probe Height (2.4mm) and executed a G32 Z2. did this but about 3mm higher than the bed and the probe did not t…

Thanks again - very useful! Richard
-
Fantastic, thank you! Is that a 1:1 relationship? By that I mean is 1mm/s Start Speed = 1mm/sec jerk or is there some other ratio involved? Thanks. Richard
-
Sorry, I should have been clearer - they need the low jerk setting for the extruders only, not other steppers. Richard
-
Thanks, Repetier, and apologies for the 'stupid' questions! This is way out of my comfort zone! Your response makes perfect sense but as a safeguard I added a G1 X100 Y100 command to the probe start script to ensure that the Z-probe starts off ove…
-
Thanks, both. Yes, Martin, it did add a G28 - removed now. Repetier, could I explore this a little further please? What I meant was - once it has homed to Z-max, and then done the G32 to determine tilt, why could it not Z-probe in one known spot (…
-
I'm still working on the adjustments but am intrigued by the logic employed. Why does it home to Z Max before a print starts? I would have thought that homing to Z Max to get the maximum height then probe at the print origin (bed centre) and apply…

Thank you for the explanation - I also found a setting in the menu on the printer LCD display that was set to auto-level off - I changed that to on and then did as you outlined above and it now works much better. I still have some tuning to do but I…

After issuing G32, I find following errors in the log: 1. Unknown command:M340 S550 P0 2. Error:Z-probe failed3. Error:Probing had returned errors - autoleveling canceled. 4. fatal:G32 leveling failed! Printer stopped and heaters disabled due to thi…

Thanks again - much appreciated! I'll be able to play with the values and then lock them in to the firmware when I've goyt them sorted. Richard
-
Oh, and one further question - is it possible to edit the Jam settings anywhere other than by recompiling the firmware and uploading it? Is it available in the EEPROM or elsewhere accessible from the Repetier Server or Host? I've looked in both but …
-
Repetier said: Optimum would be a Jam_Slowdown_Steps bigger than anything you experience in normal working situations. WIth debug you can already see what it really measures then add sone 30% on it as a start. Error should be again 30-50% on …

I think I've answered some of my questions. I found the M602 command and have been using that to debug and to see the pulses and am now tuning it to work effectively. I'd still like to know if there is an optimum pulse / mm or pulse / extruder steps…
-
Thanks, Rossini - I never thought to look in the configurator so I'm feeling a bit foolish!

I found my answer, you use \n to separate the commands. Richard
