Advice on new printer Build/Kit - 7 years ago
Hi I built a Wilson variant reprap machine a couple of years back which has served me well although I havent been able to master ABS on it as yet. Im looking at upgrading to something requiring a bit less tinkering. Not fussed if I have to go down the source/build path again although I'd probably prefer a kit this time around as I dont want to dedicate the next few months sourcing etc. Ive beenby Ruprect - General

Re: Prusa I3 auto bed leveling problem - 10 years ago
Yes its the Z Offset thats stored in eeprom, I had the same issue. The stored value was 0 and the firmware uses the stored value before the value listed in the firmware. (configuration.h file) You need to load the factory defaults (M502) which will then force the firmware to use the values from your config file. Then store them to eeprom (M500)by Ruprect - Reprappers
Re: Auto Bed leveling issue - 10 years ago
Looks like it was rookie mistake. Turns out that my Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER value from my config.h file was being ignored as the eprom had a stored value of 0.0 for that constant. As it has stored values for all constants.... Anyhoo sending an M502 (restore factory settings) allowed the new values to be accepted, then an M500 to store them. Now all is good with the world, my auto bed leveby Ruprect - General

Re: Bed Auto Leveling.. check this out - 10 years ago
HI, My z0 is not adding the Z offset, ie the print head remains at the probe level, any ideas what I have missed? Heres my config.h and this is the output from the G29 SENDING:G29 SENDING:G1 F2000 X95 Y95 Bed x: 50.00 y: 50.00 z: 0.13 Bed x: 150.00 y: 50.00 z: 0.12 Bed x: 150.00 y: 150.00 z: 0.06 Bed x: 50.00 y: 150.00 z: 0.07 Eqn coefficients: a: -0.00 b: -0.00 d: 0.17 planeNormal x: 0.00 y: 0.0by Ruprect - General Mendel Topics
Auto Bed leveling issue - 10 years ago
Hi Ive just setup auto bed leveling on my I3 however I cant get the print head to go below the Probe offset position. Ive followed Zenmasters vids on the setup Im pretty sure its configured correctly. Heres my Config.h When I issue G28 the head moves to X endstop, then to Y endstop, then moves out to x61, Y78 which is all good according to the config. Then the Probe extends, Z moves to Z endstby Ruprect - General

Perfect. Thats it... disabled safe homing to test and all went back to normal. Now that I know I'll leave it on. Thanksby Ruprect - General
Homing issues - 10 years ago
I'll try this in general as not getting much joy elsewhere. Ive built a Wilson I3 variant, running Marlin V1 firmware Ive developed a strange issue when homing. Sending a G28 sends the bed to the X end stop then the Y end stop then the bed moves out to X61.00, Y78.00 and then Z homes. Heres a link to my Configuration.h Ive just installed and configured auto levelling however this appeared priby Ruprect - General
