  • Thank you all for the help and guidance!!! I have success!! I went back to basics.. started with a new config and watched the instructions posted by Pigeon print (). I think there were 2 settings I had different. I actually mirrored his settin…
  • it was on Repetier (I don't know the version and don't have the original files). I did confirm that the commands to deploy and stow the probe do work when issued from Repetier Host.
  • This is a 3d touch (bltouch clone).. I worked for homing the z axis before I started.. just not for the auto level. I am not sure where I went off the rails. I can make the probe deploy and stow (the fact that I cannot read a change at this po…
  • I changed the pullup value.. I can send the m340 po s700 and m340 p0 s1500 to get the pin to deploy and stow. I cannot get the value to change (it always stays low). It still does not deploy the pin when I try to home the printer...
  • ok... I have been able to compile version 1.0.5 I am still not able to get the z home to function (right now I am chasing my tail.. I think I am missing something simple) when I send an m117 to get the status of the end stops, z shows low (with the …
  • Nevermind that last question..  I actually READ the github readme that says "SdFat requires Arduino 1.6x or greater"..
  • I think I may have uncovered the root of my issues...   I believe I initially downloaded the firmware files (a long time ago for a different printer.. When version .92 was active). From there on, I have always just gone to the config tool web page, …
  • I uploaded the file from .92. The m340 p0 S1500 and m340 p0 S700 does deploy and retract the probe. The self test does not work, it sends it into an error condition (the clear error code does clear it). When I home z, the probe does not deploy …
  • using the same file and version 1.0.4 i get the same error. Same file with 92.9 does compile (I have not yet had a chance to upload it and test).
  • Thank you for the responses.. I tried to use 1.0.5 and the compile gives the error UI_SET__PRESET_EXTRUDER_TEMP_PLA was not declared in this scope. Here is the configuration.h file that was generated with 1.0.5 and gave the error /*    This file i…
  • ok.. i will try to compile with 1.0.5Dev later tonight If i read your response correctly, the z probe pin should be set to D11?
  • Thank you.. I think I have it all messed up at now..   I was never able to make the probe deploy with a G32, x and y would home, but the probe would not deploy when starting the z home. (it would however deploy correctly with a regular z home comm…
  • I have confirmed that sending m340 p0 s700 deploys the pin and m340 p0 s1500 retracts the pin..  M340 p0 s120 does not however put this into self test mode where the pin goes in an out until cleared.
  • no.. sorry for the confusion..  I have only 1 machine that has an issue.. I was using the other machine as a comparison (it has an SN04 sensor and everything is working).  I am working only with the Geeetech that has the 3d touch. When I power the p…
  • Ok..  Please let me know if i understand this correctly (I "think" i do).. On my machine that has the SN04 inductive sensor, there are only 3 wires and they get connected to the Z min stop. The firmware features tab is configured for Z-probing and N…
  • Thank you for the reply. I think everything is in place as everything homes as expected. The only thing that does not work us the bed auto level.  I will check this forum for configuration examples to see if there are other codes I need to add.
  • ok. found the issue with the X Offset (in the Repetier Host EEProm Editor).. There was an offset defined for extruder #2 (this printer has 3 extruders) that was not evident in the online configuration tool.  Thank you for the information !!
  • i change the eeprom from 1 to 2 (not sure how to get the information from the board itself to see if changes have actually been made. I did find that the configuration.h file had one line that included 3 !!!.. I removed 2 of those and the file "says…
  • found the issue.. when all else fails... open yer eyes.. the z motor wire got pulled out..

  • i think i am missing a step here.. every time i"think" i have this process down, i change the tape, or the buildtak or whatever surface i have, and the numbers dont give me the results i thought i should. here is what i am doing.. I power up the pri…
  • ok.. now i think i have totally messed it all up..  After working with this for a few days, i found that the only way i could get even close to a good first layer was to enter a negative offset.  I re-loaded the firmware (version 1.0.2) and still wa…
  • reading https://www.repetier.com/documentation/repetier-firmware/z-probing/..If i have ZHold (this is the current EEProm value for Z_Probe_Height).. Is this correct? Is the formula i used initially correct?I will re-run the process when i get back i…
  • i have an SN04 sensor.When i moved it, i set the nozzle onto the bed, then put a quarter under the sensor to get a good distance above the hot end to trigger.This is why this does not make any sense to me...
  • sorry... I totally understand that you have no idea what is going on with my specific printer. I should have been clearer in my response.What that "should" have said was What would be a possible cause for a situation like this? or What should I be…
  • What could cause this type of situation?  After setting this to a negative number, i did rerun a g32 s2 and then a g33.  After this i was able to get the first layer to print.
  • Once again THANK YOU for the help I was able to get the autotune to run successfully for all 3 extruders and the bed. Can you tell me if these numbers seem within reason? I know you cannot say exact numbers, I am just checking to see if these would…
  • Thank you! I have been able to get this to function now. As turns out, it was working, but the adjustment screw in the top was not set right and when the probe would trigger, it would not activate the end stop. Thank you again!
  • Is there a manual way to test the z-min part of the probe? I can get the pin to cycle up and down, but cannot get it to trigger the z-stop when homing. The pin drops down, but when it hits the bed, it does not stop. I want to verify (off machine) th…
  • Ok.. Here is what I have so far.  I connect this 3dTouch to the Servo output and the z-min stop on the board. I power up the printer and the 3dtouch runs the self test. I send M340 P0 S700 and the pin goes down  M119 shows that Z is High I send M3…
