Klipper Basics - Adding A BLTouch

[@mikeooo]

Love you guides. Keep them coming please. Just starting with klipper and this kind of tutorial are the best. No long story's but strait to te point and most important everyone can follow this easily. Thank you for alle you work you put in in it.

[@PigeonPrint]

Thank you for the kind words, would love to hear if you run into anything you think would make for a good tutorial. it's sometimes hard for me to remember all the things I had problems with when starting out!

[@mikeooo]

@@PigeonPrint Sure , The problem is there are a lot of tutorial but they all give basic stuff and that is great. But when you start with Klipper that is sometimes not enough and when the basic setup is finished what's next. Then there is not much info unless you know what your looking for. So some tutorial how to adjuist Klipper after the basic setup. Tweaking stuff for getting better results and in what the best order for tweaking it. How to use the Marcro's. Slicer setup for Klipper. I had Marlin setup with G-code for start/stopping etc. Now wiht Klipper that is not working because not all M (code) are available in Klipper. So how to prime the nozzle etc. Most info you can find but sometimes hard to find and your way of explaining is great. Quick and clear....

[@PigeonPrint]

[@Kenyez]

In Marlin, it is possible to measure distance with the sensor during manual leveling. No need to mess with paper. Does the klipper have something like that?

[@PigeonPrint]

There is Screw tilt adjust (see my play list on Klipper Basics) this will probe the 4 comers of the bed, measure them, and spit out what direction you need to turn them and by how much. Hope this helps.

[@yeastdonkey846]

You had safe_z_homing on and your [bltouch] x_/y_offset set but the probe wasn't in the middle of the bed when you homed (3:04). I'm also having this issue, do you have any idea why the z_safe_homing isn't using the probe offsets? Furthermore, the probe probe position shown after a probe_accuracy test shows that Klipper things the probe should be in the middle despite it not being there.

[@PigeonPrint]

Hi, Klipper will use the nozzle as the centre rather than adding the probe offset.....So it's woking if your nozzle is in the centre rather than the probe itself. Not 100% sure I understand the second question,?

[@yeastdonkey846]

@@PigeonPrint I didn't know that Klipper uses the nozzel as the center when probing, I thought it would use the probe, so that answers my question, thanks! I ended up adjusting the home_xy_position by adding my probe offsets to make z-homing occur in center via probe.

[@PigeonPrint]

@@yeastdonkey846 Yep, that sounds like a good way to do it. I can't think of anything that would make that a problem.

[@osiris9679]

Great video. Though, I'm wondering, what is the point of the X and Y offsets for G28 if it does not probe the center of the bed when homing?

[@PigeonPrint]

If I understand your comment correctly. combination of safe homing + G28 is not to probe the centre of the bed per se , but to avoid homing at 0,0 where there is a larger chance your probe will be off the bed and not trigger.

[@osiris9679]

@@PigeonPrint Ah I see, would it affect anything to change the values to ensure the probe centers at the bed?

[@PigeonPrint]

@@osiris9679 Should be fine to change it under the [safe_z_home] section to where ever you want on the bed, so adjust the "home_xy_position:" to values that match your probe (just add or subtract your probe offset values to your current value and it should probe in the centre). Just don't change anything in the sections that a G29 would use, so don't change anything under [bltouch] section.

[@osiris9679]

@@PigeonPrint Awesome! Thanks!

[@whatif8741]

when i set my bl touch x and y offsets it wont let me calibrate the bed for a mesh says some moves are out of range but it didnt have a problem before i set the offsets. can't figure it out. havent tried printing on it yet because i know its not right.

[@PigeonPrint]

you will need to adjust the "position_max:" value to its true value on X &Y, or it will just assume the print head can only move while over the bed. For instance, the default on an Ender 3 will be position_max: 235 for the X, but it can actually move over 245 in X, you need to tell the printer how far it can actually move, so it can move off the bed's area and probe the largest amount of the bed.

[@martin.ristal]

That was just what i was looking for

[@aaroncamm2024]

Thanks for the video. How do we calculate the probe min and max positions?

[@PigeonPrint]

The simplest way is to move the printer with the web interface and get the coordinates of where the probe can actually hit the bed, as with some setups your probe can miss the bed if it tries to probe 0,0 or hit the frame. So, just move it to the front left and make sure the probe can deploy and hit the bed, read the coordinates, and put them as mesh_min: For example 10, 20 (X,Y) and then move to the back right and add the coordinates for mesh_max: for example 195, 223. Hope this helps.

[@aaroncamm2024]

Thanks for the info thats where I was going wrong. I was putting the nozzle to the front left corner not the probe thinking the probe offset would put the probe in the right place. Thank you for the reply im very new to Klipper so a big help. Keep the videos coming

[@PigeonPrint]

@@aaroncamm2024 Yeah, Klipper has some quircks of when it dose and doesn't use the probe offset. Still catches me off guard ever now and then! Good to hear you got it sorted.

@@PigeonPrint my bl touch still tries to home off the bed and I get an error even after I set the correct min and max

Hi, I've copied your code, and I'm trying to work through it, this is very new to me, but I'm slowly making progress. I'm at a point where I can get all axis to home, except the BL touch probe does not deploy and the nozzle crashes into the bed. I've commented out the following line: endstop_pin: ^!ar18 and added this: endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop. I get the following error when restarting firmware: Option 'position_endstop' is not valid in section 'stepper_z'. any idea?

[@peterking-vn3fx]

Will this work with CRTouch ? because the pin is very different from the BLTouch

[@PigeonPrint]

Yes, the CRTouch should work without issue as the pinouts are the same and they are interchangeable as far as I'm aware. I don't have one to test, but I don't think you will have any issues just setting it up as a [bltouch] like show in the video. If you do run into any problems just reply in here and I will try and help.

[@peterking-vn3fx]

@@PigeonPrint Ok thanks for the clarification. I got one more question, what if I currently have the Micro Swiss Direct Drive installed on the Ender 3 and wanted to use the CRTouch at the same time… will it worked fine? because I tried using the CRTouch along with the Micro Swiss on Marlin firmware and I have to edit the X_MIN_POS and Y_MIN_POS on the Configuration.h so the probe don’t go off the print bed when doing the calibration. Right now I am using Klipper without the CRTouch. Was wondering if it’s going to work at all.

[@PigeonPrint]

@@peterking-vn3fx I think....I included setting up safe homing in this video. That should make it home in the middle of the bed rather then at x0,y0 (front left and miss the bed). but for doing a bed mesh you will need to make sure you have the offset of your probe put into Klipper, I assume that will be in the manual. If not you will need to measure how many mm to the left and how far in front the nozzle it is. For example my probe is to the left by 40mm and in front by 12mm so I put under the [bltouch] section: x_offset: -40 y_offset: -12 for working out z_offset, I have a video on doing that in Klipper. Hope this helps!

[@gangsterHOTLINE]

Nice video! I am having an issue that is rather hard to track down online where my BLtouch is always TRIGGERED no matter what state the pin is in. It responds to commands and drops and pulls up on the pin. But never leaves the TRIGGERED state. My wiring is the same as it has always been for Marlin before and the pinout map for my board matches what I have in the config for Klipper. Board: MKS Robin Nano V3 Printer: Two Trees Sapphire Pro Probe: Official BLTouch v3.1 One thing to note is that this MKS board does not have the dedicated 5 pins for BLTouch/Servo and I have to use Z+ or Z- endstop for the sensor pin. That might be what is being fussy with the config. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

[@PigeonPrint]

Hi, sounds like the pin may not be configured correctly, could you post your printer.cfig to a site like pastebin.com/ and then link it here so I can have a little look? could just be you need to indicate there is a pullup resistor by adding ^ symbol in front of it, like Pin: ^!PA11 (but with your pin number)

[@Darkl0ud_Productions]

Great video! Something I am confused about, is if we are probing the bed to get the correct height under the nozzle, when the probe is probing the right side of the bed, how do we know this is the true value of the right side of the bed, if the probe will not go that far? In other words, since the probe is offset from the nozzle, how does the probe know how high or low the right side of the bed is? I would almost expect the nozzle to go past the bed on the X axis, and the probe would probe where the nozzle will be?

[@PigeonPrint]

This is a good question. it won't get the right high of any point that is not probed, but it will use maths to project the area of the bed outside of the probed mesh. it's not perfect on a bed that is warped or over-constrained, but it makes assumptions for example if it is probing the front of the bed, and each probe point from the front left to the front right is getting higher and higher in 0.1mm increments it will calculate that this incrimination will continue to the edge of the bed as it's trying to map a flat plane. in the same way it will just assume the height between any two points it probes is a straight line between the two points...this may not be true, but the level of deviation is slight enough that the print will fail. This is why you will always get better results with more probe points and a probe mounted where it can actually take the probe point of the majority of the bed.

[@PigeonPrint]

Hello mate, at a quick guess I would say the 269.500 movement is outside of your "position_max:" so, going on that guess your BLTouch is on the left-hand side of your nozzle and you have a printer bed size of 250mm? If you look in your config file under [stepper_x] and [stepper_y] you will see a value called "position_max:" this is normally the size of your bed rather than the actual full movement of the axis. Klipper won't let you move over that "position_max:" value so with a Probe that is left or right of the nozzle you will have to change the "position_max:" to a higher number still within how far your printer can move, or depending on the design of the printer under [bed_mesh] you will see the values "mesh_min:" & "mesh_max:" these can be changed so it will only probe within the limmits of your "position_max:"

@@PigeonPrint я вчера пол дня искал как это сделать на GitHub, klipper.org, viki. Не хрена толком не написано. Если не трудно подскажите z end stop: -??? Что поставить?? Спасибо 🙏🏻

[@PigeonPrint]

@@pipalfen endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop (все одна строка) надеюсь, это поможет!

[@pipalfen]

@@PigeonPrint klipper ругаться если эту строку ставишь. 😔

it looks like your bed is warped

[@PigeonPrint]

Yep, slight warp in it. Nothing a probe cant deal with.

[@Jonahmeans1024]

Shouldn't you add the "endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop" under [stepper_z]? Edit: Actually I noticed you have it already in the z stepper block but people should now about that when first setting up a probe. Edit2: nvm, found your description 😅

[@PigeonPrint]

Yes, I should really of have had that in the video. So, snuck it into the description. :)

well that didn't work in octoprint

[@PigeonPrint]

Sorry, I dont use Octoprint, so not sure what you would have to do differently.

@@PigeonPrint I don't have that weird bed mesh thing you do

how easily? "most printed ones will display in the description" ? description of f what ?

[@PigeonPrint]

The description of the probe mounting bracket. most people who design a probe mount for a printer will include the XY offset from the nozzle in the description text about the part. For example here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3584158 They include the offset information.
