Hi,
I have a little problem, where my printer is printing in air. (around 10mm so)
I have a vyper that is connected to a raspberry pi 4. On the pi I have installed Mainsail and the OS legacy. I also use the slicer cura and do not have a BL Touch.
I have tried everything and I have no glue whats wrong. Pls. Every little suggestion can help. Thx

Fix your tags #readme
Mainsail and MainsailOS don't have anything to do with your problem
Also send a klippy.log and a sliced gcode. Atm we only know that you print in the air. So I would say your gcode is wrong. Without anything we cannot help further

Can you send a screenshot of the Heightmap page inside Mainsail?
And fix your tags #readme
signal haven
Home your printer and let it move to 0. Then send a picture of your printer
Quick question, why do you wrote that?
do not have a BL Touch.
Why didn't you tell us what other probe you are using? (at least there is a probe section inside your printer.cfg)

Home your printer and let it move to 0. Then send a picture of your printer
it is touching the bed

The left side is a bit heigher bescause I had a paper on the bed.
You shouldn't do something like that. A paper is about one layer thick. So your mesh is wrong at that point
signal haven
it is touching the bed
And if you start the print now? Does it again print in the air?

> do not have a BL Touch.
Why didn't you...
because on every printer that i saw had one, and i thought i need one to
midnight vigil
And if you start the print now? Does it again print in the air?
yes, at around 10mm in the air
signal haven
yes, at around 10mm in the air
I cannot see anything suspicious in the gcode that should lead to this behaviour
midnight vigil
the height is always the same
signal haven
because on every printer that i saw had one, and i thought i need one to
You only need a probe section, if you have some kind of ABL (auto bed leveling)
midnight vigil
redid the bed mesh
I also reinstalled klipper 3 times, but i only flashed the printer 1 time. Can this do something
The build + flash i mean. I did it only on the first installation. Do i have to redo it too? I think not
signal haven
No, you don't have to reflash your printer board
midnight vigil
Here is the printer.cfg file
signal haven
yes, at around 10mm in the air
You print the gcode your sent me or did you reslice a new one?
midnight vigil
i print the one i send you
signal haven
Ok, then try to run via the console inside Mainsail:
G21
G90
G1 Z15.0 F100
G0 F3000 Z0.235
```And see where you end up.After you homed ofc
signal haven
Then no idea, sry. Those are the commands the gcode should execute. You could try to run each command of the gcode one-by-one, without heating and extruding, and see if you can spot the error maybe. I cannot find anything
midnight vigil
thanks anyway
midnight vigil
Do i have to do a bed mesh every time? I though it just there to see how straight it is.
signal haven
redid the bed mesh
No the bed mesh is there to adjust the z value of your extruder to compensate for a non straight bed. If you have one loaded you don't have to create a new one.
You can see if one is loaded if it shows you a mesh on that screen
If no mesh is loaded, then no mesh is used ofc
midnight vigil
And is it normel that after every restart, i have to do a mesh?
signal haven
If you don't save it, yes
You have to hit/run SAVE_CONFIG to save it
After that you have to load it that it get's applied
More information here: https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Mesh.html#profiles
midnight vigil
If you don't save it, yes
OMG, thank you
I did not know i had to upload the bed mesh after restart and also that i had to do one in the first place. Now it works perfectly.
Thanks
signal haven
Ok, nice 😄
