Tired Of Mesh Bed Leveling? - Z Tilt Configuration - Klipper - Chris's Basement - 2024

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

Excellent video! It couldn’t have come at a better time. I was about to start pulling my hair out trying to fix a problem you sorted out in 20 minutes. Truly, thanks for sharing your time and hard work.

[@ChrisRiley]

I am glad it helped you out!

[@woodwaker1]

Chris, thanks for sharing this. Another great feature of Klipper, I have been using this for years on my Rat Rigs. It is really helpful when you have a 500mm square bed. I run this and bed mesh before every print. as the mesh can change when removing the magnetic bed plate. Many of the old printers did not have multiple Z motors that can be individually controlled, so this is not available for them.

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks Dave, for sure, on the larger machines I wouldn't want to try and run without this feature these days.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Thanks for another super useful video, always like these including the config, helped me out a ton in the beginning

[@ChrisRiley]

I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching

[@alexisentonfire]

you're videos are always super easy to follow, very nice!

[@ChrisRiley]

Happy to help! Thanks

[@dansteffee9759]

I upgraded my Voron 2.4 to Tap , seems to do a great job. Doing away with the probe ... Great video !!!

[@ChrisRiley]

I'm glad Tap is working out for you, I'm going to check it out!

[@tremrej65]

Thanks Chris. I use z-tilt on an i3 printer (Geeetech) with dual z stepper and bl-touch. Klipper on that machine improved the print speed a lot, even at 12 volts.

[@ChrisRiley]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@Karim3ds]

Greeting Everyone, Chris, thanks for the great videos, I'm trying to upgrade to the triple-Z adjustment, and I was curious about if I can perform such action with just Marline and no Klipper, since I haven't started with Klipper yet, I'm using a custom made printer and BTT Octopus, best regards

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks for watching. Yes you can, I haven't done a video on how to do 3, but I have done one for 2, but you can use G34, search for that in the code to do multiple stepper motors.

[@tytechguy]

I run 3 VZBoTs so I don't need Ztilt but on my bed slinger I've been using it for years. It's a great feature to have. It also adds a button in the kipper interface within kipper screen which is also handy

[@ChrisRiley]

Very handy! Thanks for watching

[@MrHeHim]

Awesome! Basically auto tram Personally I like to run bed mesh to the temperature I print at most, or something in between. No matter how flat, the beds always seem to warp eventually and find a 'warped' home where it's stops warping anymore. Warp 😊

[@ChrisRiley]

Warp! Thanks for watching!

[@enalecec5437]

Thanks Chris, for your explaination, i just realize that i set my z-tilt wrong. 😅

[@ChrisRiley]

You're welcome, I hope this helped!

[@kaseyboles30]

ztilt also has implications for non-planar printing. With the right code and properly shaped hooted assembly one could do with a LOT less support material, much better bridging, and many other improvements.

[@ChrisRiley]

Ah, that is a great idea!

[@MakerViking]

Good video Chris. :) Z-tilt is awesome.

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks Thomas!

[@anand.s3843]

Hi chris, Can you please post a video on how to configure btt sfs v2 smart filament sensor on Octoprint? I configured with smart filament sensor plugin on Octoprint but filament not detecting. KZbinr dablet find alternate way by configuring it to Home assistant using MQTt, but her video is not clear. Please do a video on it!

[@ChrisRiley]

I will see what I can do!

[@anand.s3843]

@@ChrisRiley Thank you!

[@ChrisFloof]

Hi Chris! I noticed that your full steps per rotation explanation is wrong, unless you are adjusting microstepping through the stepper driver pins and not firmware. In Klipper, it's full steps for the motor without microstepping so a 0.9 degree stepper should have 400 steps specified there 😊

[@ChrisRiley]

Thanks!

[@sidbyron210]

I'm not sure of that my friend but even in high end machines mesh leveling it's a good idea, that's why in Voron 2.4 we have QGL.

[@ChrisRiley]

It's never a bad idea to run it.

[@cantuchdis231]

Chris could you please do a dual extruder single hotend klipper video.

[@ChrisRiley]

I'll look into it!

[@RayLenses]

I managed to do all configuration but the second extruder temperature is wrong because they're sharing same hotend i looked klipper documentation but couldn't find how to sync the temperature , so i stopped there 😢

[@samuelp1227]

I wish they had sensorless homing for each motor individually. It stops all 3 when 1 activates

[@ChrisRiley]

That would be an interesting setup. I might have to try it just to see what it does.

[@samuelp1227]

It is possible in rep rap firmware. ​@@ChrisRiley

[@ChrisRiley]

@@samuelp1227 It would be tricky, but check this out. forum.duet3d.com/topic/30520/howto-configure-z-axis-sensorless-homing-in-homey-g-file/6

[@sleepib]

Can klipper(or any other firmware for that matter) use z tilt to allow mesh leveling to work with IDEX? So it keeps the two points you're printing above the same distance to the toolheads, and corrects x position based on z height and tilt angle. I can see this being useful for large beds.

[@ChrisRiley]

That's a great question, I am currently building an idex, we will see if we can make it work.

[@CaHeoMapMap]

pro!

[@ChrisRiley]

😊

[@jimmer411]

Biggest improvement ive made is sourcing real mic6 from a local distributor. Now none of my printers need mesh.

[@ChrisRiley]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching

[@MaddestGinger]

I use it on a reconfigured mK3s… what is the difference with quad gantry leveling… qgl only for voron2.4 ?

[@ChrisRiley]

I'm not exactly sure, it could be something to do with how the belts and gantry work on the 2.4. Belts and flying carriage.

[@MaddestGinger]

@@ChrisRileyfound the info… z tilt is for 2 or 3 zMotor, QGL Is for flying gantry…

[@rondlh20]

In Marlin just run Gcode command G34 to do the same

[@ChrisRiley]

Yes, we have done videos on G34 in the past.

[@RayLenses]

How about bed slinger

[@ChrisRiley]

You can do a G34 or something similar if you have 2 different Z stepper drivers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZukd4SaidBrn9ksi=d6IMJQxkhVC_i7ne&t=777

[@RayLenses]

@@ChrisRiley I do have 2 different stepper drivers for Z axis but my steppers are TMC 2226, and im running klipper I’m not sure if this stepper drive has sensorless homing

[@ChrisRiley]

@@RayLenses 2226 does have sensorless homing.

[@kyon_03]

eddy coil installation please

Working on it!
