Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

This doesn't affect anything but it is annoying to always have to close the boxes:

Error: G1/G2/G3: intermediate position outside machine limits

Any idea? This is stock, from factory, has been doing it ever since I got the machine.

What machine? What slicer are you using? Is it limited to a specific print job, or any?

tnx.

Sorry, Artemis 300. Simplify3D and Cura 4.5/4.6. Every job.

What version of the firmware is on your Artemis? Can you post your config.g in a reply? I'm curious to see what the M208 setting is.

tnx.

Right after the M666 command, add this:

M208 X800 Y800 Z800; Set max limits.

The homedelta.g script runs all three axes up to 780mm. The value is purposefully much higher than the actual travel available to make sure the limit switches are hit.

Adding that M208 command should prevent the error message from happening. Let me know how it works for you.

g.

Nope, got the error as soon as the upload finished and the print started.

Well THAT is weird. Nobody else has reported that issue, so you might want to post on the duet3D forum (https://forum.duet3d.com/) and see if one of the wizards over there can help. The author of the firmware is very active there (dc42).

g.

Please upgrade to firmware 2.05.1 and see if the problem is still present.

dc42 to the rescue! Thanks!

Well, it works in getting rid of that but now I have this;

G0/G1: target position not reachable from current position

My prints are all cancelling before they start.

Starting script:

G28 ; home all axes
M564 S0 H0; Set axis limits, forbid movement outside unhomed axis, allow movement outside boundaries

Now the machine loads with a warning on the screen telling me that the heightmap was loaded before the z=0 datum, which was not determined during probing and might lead to an offset.

You might want to make a backup copy of the SD card contents, wipe it, and then reload it from the SeeMeCNC Artemis git repo.

That probably means that your slicer is commanding a move to a large XY position before lowering the effector. You can solve that by commanding the effector to move down first, for example by adding a G1 Z200 move after the G28 in your start GCode.

That's a warning that you have loaded a height map but the Z=0 position has been determined from the endstop switches. You will get more consistent results if you run an auto calibration (G32) cycle before loading the height map. Or, if you don't want to do a full auto calibration, just position the head at X0 Y0 Z5 and do a single G30 probe, and load the height map after that.
