Hi everyone, I'm baaack! I took a little break for the last week and dove into the bed leveling issue from last week. Mhackney, have you been able to resolve your issue? I've been looking at the thread and haven't seen an update. Here's where I am: I decided to use my dial indicator and ran through ...

Just moving over from the other thread...

Where do we go from here? Do you think it makes sense to try Repetier 92.9?

Northern Wisconsin. Day 1, so far so good!

Ok, just tried it... If I essentially turn the towers 120 as I said the low point STILL exists in the same place. That tells me that I've got a hardware problem; wouldn't you say? If it were software I'd expect the low point to have moved 120 as well. I've got a 4 hour trip ahead of me and I'll ...

What if we shifted the tower angles by 120 within the eeprom, instead of (x,y,z) 90, 210, 330 we do 210, 330, 90. If it's firmware it'd move the low point; right?

Sure, I understand that. I would need to work to port those functions over. The problem I have, however, is that I did not have this issue on a later version of Repetier. I am heading out soon for one last fishing trip, maybe something will come to me while sitting on the boat. Just to confirm my ...

Well, it didn't help anyway... I am having an absolute NIGHTMARE trying to calibrate this damn thing now. While trying to manually calibrate I found that not only does the Y tower have the issue, but the other two have issues as well. The hotend will be at the right height while probing near all of ...

I was thinking along the same lines. I did attempt to swap the arms, and guess what, no change. Clearly something to do with the autocalibration and likely not mechanical (imho). I found myself a beer and am going to try the manual calibration on the endstops. I'll see where that gets me.

Yes, that's correct.

I did just exactly what you suggested, turned the hotend -120 degrees (fan is towards the Y tower now). No change, still the same issue. My original thought was to swap the arms to remove the arms from being the culprit, I may still try that. So far the accelerometer does not seem to be the issue ...

I had a similar idea, swap two sets of the arms. I am attempting that same thing right now. We're heating up getting ready to print, I've already run the calibration. Stay tuned.

Those are very consistent, which is good. Interestingly, I'm seeing a pattern with several of us having very similar "level" issues. I also ran Z height calibration a number of times in a row and it was dead on each time. I am experiencing exactly the same thing you are also along the Y tower ...

I'd like to see the results of all the calibration parameters: x,y,z tower offsets delta radius z height Ok, here's what I got. What do you think? Test1: X offset - 5 Y offset - 3 Z offset - 0 Radius - 143.423 Height - 369.7 Test2: X offset - 6 Y offset - 4 Z offset - 0 Radius - 143.423 Height ...

Th0mpy, can you run calibration 3 times and after each, record the values saved to EEPROM so we can check for variability in the calibration process. Are you saying the endstop offset? One thing I did last night which I thought was interesting... I used my iphone and did a slow-mo video of the ...

So I was thinking of what could be the issue last night as I fell asleep. Is it possible that the radius of the Y arm is a bit shorter than the others? If that's the case could I set the delta radius correction for that tower?

The accelerometer probe contacts the bed with a lot of force. It was startling the first time I watched it! In my case, it looks like the ball cup joint separates a bit and this is worse when the arm is near vertical like it is with the default stock probing points. Bring them in a bit, the arm has ...

Do not calibrate while heating with the accelerometer probe. You already observed the results! Is the bed level issue (sloped along the Z tower) consistent? One gent here had a belt looped over one of the braces and it caused a similar problem. A loose endstop (you checked) as well as a loose ...

Hey everyone! So, I don't have a V3 but I did upgrade my V2 with the new HE280 hot-end. So far I'm not getting anywhere near the quality I had been with the old setup. I have a few issues, but most seem correctable. The biggest issue I've seen so far, is with the automatic calibration. After running ...

That's a great idea.. I might draw something up and print a few pieces and try that. Thank you for the suggestion!!!

Hello everyone. I finished building a my new Rostock Max a couple weeks ago and have been printing daily since. I would like to make a few updates like a Z-Probe and more lights. The problem I have is that all the raceways withing the 8020 extrusion don't allow more wires to be added. Does anyone ...
