Greetings all.
I am brand new to 3D printing, and Smoothieware. I have managed to build up a delta kossel and have all the mechanical stuff setup. Now I am stuck on getting the firmware configured. I could really use some help.
I have my z-probe functional and working as expected (G30). But I cant seem to get any of the leveling/calibration commands to work. I am using a Mini differential IR height sensor V1.2 as the Z-Probe.
Below the output from commands and my config. Any ideas?
G28 Works, as expected
G29 crashes into bed. -Z right into the bed.
G30 Works, and returns expected value (Recv: Z:503.4500)
G31 kinda works, and fails about 1/3rd through with the below message:
Recv: Delta Grid Probe…
Recv: Probe start ht is 78.619995 mm, probe radius is 110.000000 mm, grid size is 9x9
Recv: probe at 0,0 is 0.020004 mm
Recv: DEBUG: X0.0000, Y-110.0000, Z0.6800
Recv: Probe failed to complete, check the initial probe height and/or initial_height settings
G32 crashes into bed
