z_tilt issues - V-Core 3
Just wanted to add more info on this. Currently running with a beacon sensor for my z-axis. I also upgraded my mainbord and the RatOS to current one so I'm still using knowledge from when I was on the 2.02.
Currently, it homes correctly on all axis. (Facing the printer) Once I hit z_tilt_adjust, with these current settings:
[z_tilt]
z_positions:
0,0 - back left
200,400 - front center
400,0 - back right
points:
60,60 - back left (should be front left)
210,365 - front center (should be back center)
360,600 - back right (should be front right)
I know I can change the coordinates, but it seems like there is a larger issue at hand. I have changed the coordinates for both the z_positions and points to scan the correct areas. However, I run into another issue when running the the macro. Instead of leveling out the build plate my z2 keeps getting lower and my z1 and z adjust slightly.
Just included the printer.cfg just in case too. If I need to add the RatOS.cfg I can do that too if need be

You ran the configurator with beacon selected and it isn't working?
Are you able to test the Z steppers and confirm they move as expected?
The motors work and did the stepper_buzz and they're all going in the same direction
But I just just switch the z and z2 in the motion configurator and changed the points to these:
[z_tilt]
z_positions:
0,400
200,0
400,400
points:
60,360
200,65
360,360
Ran the z_tilt again and it worked. Though I'm wondering if this is wrong even though it's working. Not sure I'm making any sense at this point. I've been going back and forth on this for the last couple days
I'd save what you have and just rerun the whole configurator, that does seem odd.
But also, if it's working just be happy and move on 😄
Will do 😆
Saved what I had and reran the whole configurator again from start to finish. Homing is perfect, but when it comes to the z_tilt_adjust things are just reversed. The stock settings go in the opposite of the z screws. So I'm stumped as to what is going on
So when running these settings
z_positions:
0,0
200,400
400,0
points: (when looking at the printer)
60,60 -> back left -> should be front left
210,365 -> center front -> should be center back
360,60 -> back right -> should be front right
The previous settings did work but things seem to be backwards so not even sure how it's going to do the prints.
Not that this matter but I upgraded from the skr pro 1.2 to the Octopus 1.1
Changed the values to above and now it's giving the following:
Retries aborting: Probed points range is increasing.
Going to set stepper z to motor 7 and stepper z2 to motor 5.
Changing Stepper z to motor 7 and stepper z2 to motor 5 fixed the z-axis issue weirdly enough. Though would like to see if there is some sort of configuration issue instead of doing all these workarounds to get it to work
