Titl bed -issue with z-tilt
Hi guys,
I just finished building my VCore4 500 and I'm currently commissioning it, but I'm running into a lot of trouble. I was able to play around a bit, move the print head, and melt some PLA to test the extrusion and the filament sensor. However, since I tried the Z-tilt function, I've been having issues. It stopped during the first attempts, saying that the value was increasing instead of decreasing. Now, whenever I try to home the Z-axis, it tilts like crazy and makes a lot of noise on the affected stepper motor.
Where is the Z-tilt data stored? How can I reset it? Even if I relaunch the process, it always starts with a HOME XY and then tilts again. I tried removing the Z-tilt section from the printer.cfg, but the issue persists. It was working fine before I attempted the Z-tilt function.
Another question: Does the BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION require physical contact with the Beacon probe for the Z-offset? I ask because I lost the extended UHF screw (stupid mistake), so I used the nozzle to trigger the contact. I know this setup won't allow proper printing since the nozzle ends up too far from the bed.(I wait an extension replacment and a new full hotend to be sure)
