z-axis calibration issues - sharing solution - M5 w/ RAMPS
June 21, 2021 08:35PM
Hi All,

Sharing issue I had with Wilson TS with:
arduino mega 2560
Ramps 1.4
TMC2130 w/ 1/16 microsteps
M5 threaded rod (i.e. 4000 st/mm)
octoprint
Cura

Issue was z height was 85% of height when printed via octoprint and cura. Recalibrating z was not effective


setting the z max speed to 1mm/sec solved my problem.

Believe the cause to be ramps dropping z steps due to increased USB overhead logging temp back to Octoprint
According to [reprap.org] for arduino is 10,000, which would max speed as 2.5mm/sec

Dropped z steps were only occuring on prints, bed levelling and travel from LCD did not show dropped steps.

Hope this helps someone

Andrew
