Quick summary. Kossel, but no Z probe at all, the allen key was so inaccurate it was easier to level the bed manually. I may fit a sensor if I can find one that will work on glass, but at the moment I don't have one at all. So, what is my problem? I have set the home>0 at 231mm in the firmware, it's 1.1.5 and all uploaded, the printer prints ok. However, the LCD Control>Z height shows -3.5mm. In order to get the nozzle down to the correct height I have to change it to 6.00mm every time I want to print. 1.1.5 doesn't seem to have a 'Save to Memory' option? Can anyone tell me how to get a permanent correct z height?? I need to either add or subtract 2.5mm somewhere, or add or subtract 6.00mm, but can't figure out where, or which way? *** My other issue is that if I stop a print, or let one finish, as soon as the hotend drops in temperature I get a 'Heating Failure' message on the LCD. This means switching the printer off, readjusting the Z height on the LCD (2.5mm is a lot of turns on that poor knob) and then starting the print again etc. Is there a solution for this. It never did it on my older version of Marlin?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?415,791467,791467#msg-791467 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 10:28:55 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?415,791467,791490#msg-791490 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?415,791467,791490#msg-791490
If you are not using a Z-Probe... You can just dial in your Z_MAX_POS number to be correct. Rebuild the firmware... Upload it... And do a M502 followed by a M500.]]> Roxy Firmware - Marlin Sat, 07 Oct 2017 16:57:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?415,791467,791467#msg-791467 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?415,791467,791467#msg-791467
