I've been doing this with a combination of G92. It's just a matter of measuring how far off the 0,0 is from expectations. My latest friend of 3D printing has been aluminum tape. I put a small bit of aluminum tape on the front left corner. G28 M211 S0 (turn off software end stops) G0 X0 Y0 Z0 Then, babystep X, Y to add close as you can to 0,0. If either is inset on the bed and you can't move out at all, babystep Z down to the tape and move it along that axis to mark the tape. Then, use your calipers to mark how far inset your axis is. For me, homing X,Y puts me 3.5mm in from the left edge of the bed, but Y is 2mm out in the air in front. So, once I babystepped Y to actual zero, I entered G92 Y0 This told the printer that spot was zero. Then, I moved Z down to the tape so it was just enough to mark it, and babystepped Y back about 10-15mm. I then moved the nozzle carriage out of the way and was easily able to get an accurate build plate to X offset. (Note: you may want to check the back left corner too in case your frame is crooked.) Then, I just use the M206 method in the video. Two things: G92 can also be used to reset your Z0 height. Aluminum tape "scratching" is a great help for measuring your M851 offsets.

So in short When you home X,Y (display reads 0,0 ) if the nozzle is off the bed it's software (min X, POS ) If the nozzle is on the bed at 0,0 it's hardware endstop that needs to be moved. You want position 0,0 to be on the bed. What about max positions. For ABL ? You want to be able to print in that area but if the probe is on left of hotend you still need to be able to move the X,Y more than max of where nozzle is ????

Hi Michael, It would be a good idea to also flag that if you have a BL touch or proximity sensor to also ensure this touches the bed too. I just upgraded my cr10s pro to the new spider hotend and housing and the bl touch design ment the bl touch was off the bed. On testing the hotend positioned correctly on the bed and when homing the hotend scratched the glass bed and almost damaged the mounts because the bl touch could not touch a flat surface.
@TeachingTech3 жыл бұрын
Are you using safe homing to home in the middle of the bed? With this plus correct probe offsets this *should* be avoidable.
@MrJayCowley3 жыл бұрын
@@TeachingTech I probably should have highlighted that I do auto bed levelling on every 3D print. When this occurred points 2 and 3 for the auto levelling caused the BL touch to be off the bed. With the new spider 3D kit, the BL touch is mounted on the front of the new housing. I fixed the issue by modifying the spider 3D mounting parts to use the original BL touch location. If anyone else uses the auto levelling with the bed level sensor on the front, they may run into this issue with the hothead been driven into the bed.

I would love to know what you think about it.

I'm a fan of the Lerdge fitted to Tevo Little Monster, it works well for a 3D printer.

@fvheel Жыл бұрын
My fix was easy. I just loosen 2 screws on each endstop and moved the X and Y endstops to the correct position. If you can not do that then i think you have a bad designed printer. My (problem) is more probe related. I do have 2 printheads installed. 25 25 mm (Nozzle to nozzle 50mm) My probe does look like this: N-------------P-------------N (N=Nozzle, P=BLTouch probe) The problem is that i can probe about 5 mm away from the right-edge of the bed bud the left i can not probe less then 40 mm of the bed-edge. It lookes like this: L R | N-------------P-------------N | Right bed probe | N-------------P-------------N | Left bed probe (more space on the left) As you can see does the probe reach the right edge of the bed but the probe can not go to the left edge of the bed. I can move the probe manualy to the left edge of the bed so fisicaly there is no problem probing the complete bed area. Question: How do i configure the nozzle to probe offset? #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 25, 0, 0 } // (Nozzle to nozzle = 50mm, 25mm left & right of the probe) Is the probe offset calculated from the left or the richt nozzle? What does determine the probe to bed-edge distance? Can somewone show me what i must do to correct this difference? Thank you
