Don't, Just Don't.

I paid over 11 months ago, nothing came, no communication, no refund. If you read the forums you will find about 800 others have been caught too.

Thanks for that, very interesting.

Great stuff, can you tell me more about the probe you are using, I would like to try it out too.

I have shared the Marlin that we are working on with a few guys that also have a very similar machine on the SmartRap forum.
They are testing it too. Their machines are also the same configuration...

Sounds like you can do it.
I have the new design already printed and I have started to assemble, however I have to go to the city again today, so the whole day will be lost, it will be late when I...

I had been thinking about the very same thing a while back, but I have no idea of how to implement it. There are a number of machines already made that this would be very useful for.
My idea is to...

Yes, I was bit concerned when I saw the original design and thought that it could be a problem. It turns out I was correct. Being as I have re-designed the whole machine so far. I will take it a bit...

I have made a change to a line and now it is working pretty good.
// Keep this one. But delete the rest after it
do_blocking_move_relative( 0, 0, 5.0); // <---<<< for RegPye...

I have put that line back again. After removing it the bed leveling went haywire?? It didn't work properly for some reason. Tried it a couple of times and it was reading the levels wrong and the...

Yes I can easy make adjustments to manually level the bed better. Can there be some code that will assist in checking that easy, like measure each corner to see what difference there is?

I have...

OK, I will try that first. I am running a test print that will take about 40 minutes and then I will make the change and try again.

OK, I have done all of that and checked it.
The G28 second lift (EDIT) is really not needed now as the (EDIT) first lift takes care of the problem we had before.
I changed the G29 final home to...

Wow! Thanks for all of that, you have been busy. I will give it all a try this morning.
I have been busy too and have made a build page of one of these little machines that this code will be working...

Me too, being retired doesn't mean I am not still very busy.

Would it be possible to have the head return to X0, Y0 at the end of probing?

That would save me having to do it is the start code...

Attaching main1257

I am able to add some code when slicing to do the lift, that works fine. Just that everyone would have to use this front end code when slicing each part. If using just the G28 it will drag on the bed...

OK, I have done done that and this is what happens now:

G28
Nozzle raises about 10mm
X homes and then moves + about 10mm while Z is moving down at the same time a few mm.
Then X returns back to...

I have attached the configuration.h file that I am using/

This is how it bis set now, but I have to lift for homing in the sliced code, it wont lift if I just use a G28.

// these are the offsets to the probe relative to the extruder tip (Hotend - Probe)...

I am using the second to last hardware change with the same software settings. I have a negative offset and it is working fine.

// these are the offsets to the probe relative to the extruder tip...

Yes I am working on that.
Update to present design.
I have completed another machine with the extended lever for auto bed leveling and tested it.
I am still not satisfied that it is good enough,...

Update on progress so far with the SmartRaps. Should be ready soon to test again.

I have managed to design a part that has no wiggle whatever. Need to test it out next. Time is my biggest problem, I just got back from the city, 3.5 hours drive each way, so the day has gone (just...

Yes, I am still working on that with an update. I found that when I made the arm longer it also brought some additional movement with it that was not wanted.
I have re-designed it again with a...

Why change at all?
If you build using the 8mm, you can then enhance the printer a lot by clamping itb down to a base board with four cable clamps.
This adds far more usefulness to the printer,...
