Delay between each probe point - Bed leveling - 7 years ago
Hello all, I have a quick question regarding the bed leveling, specifically I am using unified bed leveling. When I run a G29 to get distance measurements, my printer does a 2-second delay between each probe. For example. It goes to point A and measures, then stops for 2 seconds and goes to point B and so on. Is there any way to reduce this delay? I could not find the settings anywhere in Marlinby devilmostwanted - Firmware - Marlin
Re: Auto bed level not compensating for unevenness - 8 years ago
QuoteDust There are several different types of auto bed levelling only some of which attempt to compensate for a uneven bed. Most presume you have a flat bed and just try to work out the tilt and compensate for that. So what firmware are you running and what auto bed leveling did you chose? Take a look at Oh!!! This is great information. I had no idea, thanks dust! I am using 1.1.8 and forby devilmostwanted - Printing
Re: Auto bed level not compensating for unevenness - 8 years ago
Hi serdar415, Thanks for your reply. I don't think it is under/over extrusion.When printing I can clearly see the gap between the bed and nozzle increasing when it moves to the left hand side and decreasing on the right hand side.The only place where it is perfect is the center of the bed. The centre is in fact where I got the z-offset from (After G28, I lowered the z until there was a sheet ofby devilmostwanted - Printing
Auto bed level not compensating for unevenness - 8 years ago
Hello all, I have posted about this issue in someone else's thread but since I did not hear back, I decided to create my own topic. As the title says, my auto bed level is not compensating for my bed's unevenness. Basically, the left side stays lower than the right. I have attached a photo for reference. The circled area is the left hand side. One image is from the front of the print, while theby devilmostwanted - Printing
Re: Need help tuning my printer - 8 years ago
Looks like one of those Geeetech printers. I have one too. A true mission to get it to print properly.. After two years, I'm still struggling. From your post, I can think of two possible things: 1. wrong e-steps (many excellent tutorials out there, for ex. ) 2. under extrusion. If you hear clicking coming from your extruder when printing, it means the filament isn't being pushed out properly. Iby devilmostwanted - Printing

Quoteseattle_phil I use 9 point (3x3) bed leveling - Marlin 1.1.0 rc3. Can you opt for 3x3? That would catch a bulge in the middle. I have tried. But I keep getting an error when compiling the code: #error "The Y axis probing range is not enough to fit all the points defined in AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID_POINTS" My version is 1.0.2, I'm scared to update it.

I don't know about usual glass sellers, cutters. But a good provider from internet? This can be something other, because your flat print image does not looks so very awful. Hmmm.

Re: Printing issue: too much plastic? too little? too hot? all of the above? - 9 years ago
An update: After hours and hours of troubleshooting and pretty much starting from scratch, I think I have found the problem.... The glass that I have put on the bed is not 100% flat. When placed on a flat surface it wobbles JUST A TINY BIT. As you can see in the photo, I printed a one layer flat sheet. and top area is clearly not close enough to the hot end so the lines look like strings. On thby devilmostwanted - Printing

Hi Obewan! Thanks for your reply. Yes it is flat. It is an MK2B bed with a glass sheet on top that is held down with 4 clips.by devilmostwanted - Printing
Re: Bed not levelled after Auto Level - 9 years ago
Hello all, I, too. am experiencing the same problem. Never had this problem before, but I moved the printer and since then everything is messed up... It may be a physical frame problem, I'm thinking perhaps it may be the z axis that's not straight. But that is also another part of the problem: the leveler shows it as leveled but when I measure the distance with caliper, it is off by 1 mm or so.by devilmostwanted - Printing
Re: Printing issue: too much plastic? too little? too hot? all of the above? - 9 years ago
ggherbaz, I found the problem!!! Basically, the nozzle wasnt close enough to the bed. I set the z-offset a little lower (-1) and now the lines stick together. HOWEVER, now I have another problem. Circles come out horrible and I have holes in my print. See the photo attached. I thought it might be the rods so I lubricated the hell out of them. It didnt fix the problem. Then opened the extruderby devilmostwanted - Printing

Thanks for your reply. When you say infill to perimeter overlap, that's the percentage number in the advanced section of Slic3r right? I have attached a photo. I tried 10%, 15%, 25% and now 50%. They all look exactly the same. There must be something elseby devilmostwanted - Printing

One more thing: When increasing the extrusion width, the lines got "fatter" but the gap between them still persisted. So there must be something else. Any ideas?by devilmostwanted - Printing

Re: Printing issue: too much plastic? too little? too hot? all of the above? - 9 years ago
Hi there, I am very sorry for the late response. For some reasons, the notification for the reply did not come into my inbox. I ended up calibrating the printer and it fixed most of the problems. My E-steps were way off and that was causing over extrusion. The only problem I am facing now is the the last photo:There is a tiny gap between every line of extrusion, perimeters and infills.

Re: Nozzle Build-up During Print - 9 years ago
Update, it seems like the problem is with the glass. For some reasons the filament no longer sticks to the glass, which is weird because it was fine before. I tried printing with glue on the glass and it worked better. In fact things started to stick to bed. I've tried cleaning the glass with rubbing alcohol and then washing it with soap and water. But still no luck. Any thoughts? Can it be thatby devilmostwanted - Printing

Nozzle Build-up During Print - 9 years ago
Hi! My printer was perfectly fine until I had to move. I brought the printer to my new place and ever since hooking it up, I have been unable to print a single item successfully. I think some parts shifted during the move (like the bed glass etc.) and that's why I am having so many problems. Anyway, I re-did my auto-level sensor set up and adjusted the bed further.

Re: Setting up Auto-Level Error After G29 - echo:endstops hit: Z: x.xx - 10 years ago
I think I understood the whole auto level concept wrong. 1. What exactly does G29 do? Does it take measurements, then send those measurements to the printer before printing so it could compensate for an uneven bed? So those 4 z values I get after 29 are automatically imported to the print settings? 2. What exactly does the Zprobe -offset in the firmware does then? 3. With the sensor, do I needby devilmostwanted - General
