AI Help

If your Z offset is fine but the bed is not leveling correctly, it could be due to several factors such as a warped bed, uneven bed surface, or mechanical issues with the bed leveling system.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check if your bed is warped by placing a flat object like a glass plate on top of it. If there are gaps between the bed and the object, you may need to manually level the bed or consider getting a new bed surface.
Make sure all the bed leveling screws are secure and not loose. Adjust them as needed to ensure the bed is leveled properly.
Check if the bed leveling sensor or probe is functioning correctly. Clean it and ensure there are no obstructions that could affect its accuracy.
If you are using a software-assisted bed leveling system, make sure your firmware is up to date and properly calibrated.

If you continue to experience issues with bed leveling, consider reaching out to the manufacturer for further assistance.

prime trail Z offset is fine but the bed is always not leveling right

printer firmware flashed, M420 S1 added to slicer start gcode, and the bed decently lerveled in the first place?

Bed Leveling State

Get and/or set bed leveling state. For mesh-based leveling systems use Z parameter to set the Z Fade Height.

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

Idk wym

rich shard Oct 16, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

1 you gotta flash the printer firmware to use the probe
2 the M420 S1 loads the mesh during printing, otherwise there is no point to it
3 it can only correct for so much if its being applied

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

I have a CR tuch and I installed that stuff already

#

Bro idk what you mean is there like a vid to help?

#

I use Cura too

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

You need to put “M420 S1” into the start gCode, have you done that? Else the printer won’t use the bed mesh

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 9:49 PM

#

IDK WTF THAT MEANS!!!

#

I need a vid to explain it or something

prime trail I need a vid to explain it or something

yeah its called google bud

#

idk how u expect to recieve help when ur always swearing and being rude

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:06 PM

#

@prime trail So, in cura there is a setting where you put all the stuff the printer should do before the print (heating up, purge line etc.). All that is done in form of gCode commands. Now if you want the printer to apply the bed mesh you have to give it the command “M420 S1” before every print, by putting it in the so-called start gCode (the setting I mentioned earlier). Now go find that setting, copy that command in there and please learn to ask kindly.

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:06 PM

#

Ok

#

I did it but

#

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

That is not a gCode command, that’s a file name

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

Oh

#

I acdently deleted part of the home is this right?

#

Let me try to get the g code

#

But we’re would it be?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

prime trail I acdently deleted part of the home is this right?

I think that is missing the heating commands

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

Oh

#

Is there a way to undo?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

To be safe I would just completely delete the printer profile and make a new unchanged one

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

Ok

#

How to delete?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

I think you have to create and switch to another printer before you delete the current one

#

Not sure though

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

Ok

#

Did it

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

And then just add your printer (Ender 3 v2 I guess)

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

I did

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

Ok so now you go into the setting with the start gCode

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

Ok

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

And put only the following command into an empty line:

#

M420 S1

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

But were do I get the code for the probe ?

#

?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

U mean the firmware?

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

Oh is that the code?

#

No the g code u said to do

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

No it’s only that

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

Is M420 s1 ? The code ?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

The S should be a capital letter but yes

#

And don’t delete the rest

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

Ok

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

Just paste it into a new line

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

Ok

#

Hit enter for new line or put at bottom?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

Make a new line

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

Ok

#

So enter?

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

Remove those two dots before the command

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

Ok

And make sure there is no space before the M

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

Ok so just to be sure; you did also flash the new firmware onto the printer?

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

Ok

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

prime trail What will this command do?

Nothing, the printer will just ignore everything behind it

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

Ok

#

Ignore what?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

Used if you want to note something in between your code

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

Oh

#

So what was the point of the code?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

U mean the M420 S1 or the comment using ;?

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

The M420 S1

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

Or the whole gCode?

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

Was I supposed to do a ; in there?

#

Ok

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

So to explain this a bit simpler: what the Cr-touch only does is it measures the distance between print head and printer bed, and uses that to create a height map of its surface. Then while printing it will compensate for any high or low spots in the bed, by just printing minimally lower or higher. And what M420 S1 does is it tells the printer to “remember” that mesh probed a while ago and to use it for the rest of the print.

#

Got it?

#

@prime trail

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

Yes

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:35 PM

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:35 PM

Ok U can also do that while printing

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:35 PM

So should I uh level the bed again? Auto level

No

prime trail Oct 16, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

#

Is my offset to low?

candid geode Oct 16, 2024, 10:37 PM

While it prints, change the offset by steps of 0.05 until it’s the right distance
