Just got my Voron up and running, was assembled by someone else. I updated Klipper and other software. Now I have an error "Relative_Reference_Index" "Bed Mesh" on the screen. How do I connect to the printer to edit the Klipper config? I know its IP address on my network.

Just via klipperscreen?

long quail
#

When it starts up it goes to the at screen. I still have a menu to restart, system etc...

light island
#

So you don't have it connected on your network at all?

#

How are you even getting gcode files onto it then?

long quail
#

It is connected to my home network yes I have its IP address

light island
#

(I promise I'm not just trying to be difficult, just making sure I understand the situation)

#

So open a Web browser, and punch in that ip

long quail
#

I did put any Gcode onto it I used the system update screen to update the files like Klipper, Mainsail etc...

#

It says it connot connect

#

does it have to be Connected via eithernet cable or will the wireless work?

#

This is new to me I amd used to using a USB to print files etc...

Klipper erro on the printer screen states "Relative_reference_index" Web Mesh Fix this error and restart. From what I read online this error is because of a recent update to Klipper. It has been suggested to comment out this line in the config. I dont know how to conenct to printer to fix this. What software and I assume by its network IP address

light island
#

Web browser

#

The only software you need to connect to fix this is a Web browser

long quail
#

Ok let me changeits Router connection and get back to you

light island
#

Because almost all of your printer management on a klipper printer is done through a Web browser

#

(There are a couple of exceptions involving firmware flashing, but I don't think any of them apply to this conversation)

long quail
#

ok got it communicating through my web browser

light island
#

Good

#

So you can edit your config from the "machine" tab

#

Bottom button on the left

light island
#

Yep

long quail
#

Which file do I edit?

light island
#

In this context? Probably printer.cfg

long quail
#

wo so I can edit right in the browser window? lol

light island
#

Yep

#

Now, let's talk about the edit you're about to make though

long quail
#

So I found Bed mesh.....what do I change it to? One person sadi to "Comment it out"

light island
#

One person is an asshole

long quail
#

lol

light island
#

I mean, they're half right. You do need to remove the old line

#

But you also need to REPLACE it

[bed_mesh]
speed: 300
horizontal_move_z: 10
mesh_min: 40, 40
mesh_max: 310,310
fade_start: 0.6
fade_end: 10.0
probe_count: 7,7
algorithm: bicubic
relative_reference_index: 24

Rri has been replaced by a new setting called "zero_reference_position "

#

For you, it'll probably be "zero_reference_position: 175,175"

#

Basically instead of using a weird index system, they've moved to just taking a set of coordinates

#

Hence the new setting

long quail
#

What is the 175,175 and it thats coordinates how do you know that works for my bed mesh? sorry I want to to understand the command

light island
#

It's the middle of the bed

#

I know from your mesh config that you have a 350

#

And it's convention to use center

long quail
#

understood

light island
#

(And your old rri was center too: 24 being the midpoint of a 7x7 mesh)

long quail
#

ok let me restart the printer and get back to you.

#

ok good all is working now. Thank you for taking time and being patient with me. I am technical but dont claim to be an engineer. More of tech artist/artist for Microsoft 🙂 Can I add you as a friend on Discord? I will try not to bother you too muchwith questions.

light island
#

I don't take a lot of friend requests. I do answer pings here most of the time though

long quail
#

No worries, thank you. Waiting on my filament to start printing/testing. My old Taz 5's are old tech compared to this machine. Lots to learn a head of me.

light island
#

Heh. Ya, things have changed a little bit

#

Still, if you can run the old machines, that should give you a good foundation here ...

long quail
#

Yeah the funny thing is I can work with Software engineers and even follow code but I get a head ache when I try to actually code myself. 🙂 Still I rebuilt my Taz machine both with the board, power, bed and Stepper motors so I do understand how it works.

Have a good night and thanks
