Manuel Leveling issues printing via USB/Octoprint:-(
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2018 5:07 pm
Hi togehther,
I have a lot of Issues with manual Leveling the A30.
PreStory:
As first I wonder, why the Z-Endstop ist under the Level from the Superplate. This make not sense for me. Would it not be clever, that the Endstop is adjustabel?
I used some years a prusa clone, had never such problems, because of manual Leveling
FIRST ISSUE:
What is the problem?
For the Main Z height I have to use the manuel Leveling from the Touchscreen of this printer.
But if I send printfiles from Octoprint, it seems, that the usb connected printer does ignore these Settings.
So I have no chance to print out any printjob, because the first Layer will not fit.
What did you already try to solve it?
I printed from SD Card directly and here it works as assumed.
My question:
I wonder, if there is any command, setting or something like that, which I have to use and can setup with octoprint?
Maybe, I am lack in some Information. But I cannot be tho only one with this issue, or?
Are any Tipps about this?
SECOND ISSUE - Leveling Distance changes everytime(!):
What is the problem?
If I enter manuel Leveling and press "5" - after driving to the middle the Printernozzle will contact the plate. It seems the Nozzle is to low. Okay - I am raising approximitely to 0.1mm with the Touchscreen (the Value is really changed), press okay, the Value was really saved, and I am leaving the setup.
Reentering the manual Leveling, the last Value (Z-Offset) is still present, press again "5", the Head are lifting, drive to the middle and reduce down to the plate - and has contact.
Okay - raising the z-Offste Value, saving, ... and so on and so far.
So I guess in the next 10 tries I have to enter one meter.
Additional information :
Firmware shipping the Device was 1.35.56
After reading a lot of Infos in this forum I installed 1.37.58
Hardwareversion: V2.1
Any Tips are welcome.
Regards,
Mictuel
