  • OK, that makes sense. An incorrect rotation would cause a corresponding reduction in the back right of the bed. Nevertheless, small (~0.5mm) imperfections in the bed like this are exactly why I went through the effort of installing a z-probe on my p…
  • I turned off G33, and I still see the front left of the build surface (i.e. X and Y both lower than ~75mm) raise about 0.5mm higher than the rest of the plate. So this doesn't seem to be introduced by G33, although I would have hoped that G33 would …
  • Fair enough. I plotted the correction matrices in a surface chart and the results do look pretty consistent, so that's good, and I'm learning lots. Having said that, I don't really know where to go from here. I still can't reliably print, what with…
  • So I heated up my bed and extruder this evening and did 4 sequential distortion measurements, one right after the other. I don't know... there's more variation in the successive correction matrices than I would have expected. Clearly that's not in m…
  • I always perform auto-level and distortion measuring with the bed heated to 70 degrees, and the extruder at 205 degrees. These are the temperatures that I intend to print under normal circumstances w/ PLA. Even cold, I know there's >0.1mm of dis…
  • Sorry for the delay; busy weekend. I've had a chance today to continue playing. Unfortunately, I'm still not quite there, though accuracy seems a little better... I adjusted accelerations as I mentioned above, and then I redid the z-probe height ca…
  • Hm. I think we might have found something here. I did the test you suggested where I used G33 X100 Y100 Z5 and changed distortion start/end heights to 5/10mm, just to test the compensation. When I moved to X10,Y100, and then jogged the extruder left…
  • Thanks for reviewing this for me! I did mention in my previous message that I am actually using 1.0dev. It was a long message though, you might have missed it Originally I was using the checkin from April 19th. Last night I did a repo pull just to…
  • Just a quick update on my problem: I wound up trying both a TrippLite Smart1000RM1U UPS, as well as an APC BackUPS Pro 700. Both of these UPSs have AVR, and neither of them solved the problem. I could still trigger a loss of communication between th…
  • Well that's frustrating. I thought the UPS that I'd purchased had voltage regulation, but it turns our after double-checking that it doesn't. I'll have to go find another one. Regarding the reset, I was watching the LCD on the printer the second tim…
  • My repetier.xml file within the /usr/local/Repetier-Server/firmware/ folder does contain that line, yes. My question was about the protocol line contained within my printer's exported configuration .xml. The connection section looks like this: …
  • Ah OK, good to hear. So the presence of the protocol=X parameter in the individual printer configuration .xml is a holdover from a previous version of Repetier-Server, and deprecated in 0.80.3?
  • I thought so. Just making sure. Thanks for confirming! -A
