I am so pleased to find your post -I have MKS GenL board with TMC2208s and LVxxxx and have been going crazy with random layer shifts on Y for two months. Cant decide if something is blown or just misconfigured. I went back to the original firmware 1.1.8 because I noticed something really weird. When running some simple test code on later firmwares, I noticed that X&Y axis are disabled whenby SimonSolar2C - Controllers
Im in need of a new print surface and am excited by Printbite+ but also worried that some here have experienced the same issues I have with my PEI sheet - bubbles ! And now it seems there are more choices: LokBuild AndOrNot I also read that some users are adding elmers glue or ABS slurry to the print surface - this seems to contradict the whole point of using a print surface that claims to stickby SimonSolar2C - General
@Dust thanks for the picture. What confuses me is: 1. Why are those bottom ports called servos, if they are numbered D4, D5 etc. Can they used as PWM? 2. If there is nothing plugged in to a port, does that mean the pin is available for us to use? (Unsure if it might be connected elsewhere on the board) 3 I notice in Marlin some external things are setup ready for us to define a pin. Eg Layer faby SimonSolar2C - Controllers
Hi bigfilsing I tried your method - unfortunately the probe 'deploys' so it lifts back up from the bed after it does a Z probe. The usual method is to then send it to G1 Z0, and nudge it until it touches, then read off the offset and set that using M851 Z or using the LCD screen. Effectively the same thing right? This should be possible independently of what X&Y are doing right? Assuming a Gby SimonSolar2C - Reprappers
Thanks bigfilsing for your answer. That all makes perfect sense.I will try your method. The big 'however' though is that after using a similar method, the results change. - in theory we are supposed to set the offset using M851 - I assure you I do this correctly, and it will then move to G1 Z0 and the nozzle will touch the bed perfectly. But then moments later, like after issuing a G28 and startby SimonSolar2C - Reprappers
I am so stuck on this exact same problem. For days now I try to fix it. Please tell everyone how you resolved this. For example, even without using G29, I setup my BLTouch probe perfectly: G28 G28 Z G1 Z0 Then I nudge it down until it touches the paper and put the value of the nudges into M851 then G28 Z and it is out by approx 0.3mm again Repeat the process and often the difference then goes tby SimonSolar2C - Reprappers
