3D Printing Asked by henradrie on August 26, 2021
I have a Robo R1+ which uses the nozzle contacting the glass print bed to level the printer. When the print head strikes the bed the Z-min endstops open signaling that the bed is touched.
I recently upgraded from an Arduino to an SKR 1.3 running Marlin 2.0 and have been trying to make the printer auto level. However all the examples I can find involve a probe. I’m not even sure what this kind of autoleveling is called.
Is there a way to configure Marlin 2.0 to perform this kind of autoleveling. And if so what lines should I comment and un-comment?
Basically, you are also using a probe, the nozzle is the probe. So this is very similar to an auto levelling setup using a capacitive or inductive sensor, the difference is that your M851
nozzle to probe distance is zero, and may receive a positive value to slightly raise it to get a sheet of paper in between the nozzle and printing surface.
Please note that below only changes for levelling are addressed, not other specifics in Marlin 2.x for the Robo R1+!
First you define the nozzle offset in Configuration.h, which is exactly at the nozzle, so X and Y (and Z) are zero.
#define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 0, 0, 0 }
You can also set:
define NOZZLE_AS_PROBE
Furthermore, you need to define a levelling method in the same configuration file:
//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_3POINT //#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_LINEAR #define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR //#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_UBL //#define MESH_BED_LEVELING
For safety, we usually home Z at the center of the printing surface:
#define Z_SAFE_HOMING
Also be sure the following statement is active:
#define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN
Next, you need to define the boundaries of the "probe", which is exactly where the nozzle may come (apart from a small safety offset at all edges called MIN_PROBE_EDGE
); how you do that is described in question "How to set Z-probe boundary limits in firmware when using automatic bed leveling?", in Marlin 2.x this needs to be set in Configuration_adv.h:
#if PROBE_SELECTED && !IS_KINEMATIC #define MIN_PROBE_EDGE_LEFT MIN_PROBE_EDGE #define MIN_PROBE_EDGE_RIGHT MIN_PROBE_EDGE #define MIN_PROBE_EDGE_FRONT MIN_PROBE_EDGE #define MIN_PROBE_EDGE_BACK MIN_PROBE_EDGE #endif
