how do I run the HE280 auto calibration with octopi?

Post by Penged »

Hello all,
I just installed Octopi on my V2 with the HE280. I need to run the auto calibration. I used to plug the printer into my laptop and run it through mattercontrol by pushing the auto calibration macro. Im not sure how to make that work through Octopi. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert...yet :-) but, I use the terminal in Octopi and run 'G29' and I also use the OctoPrint Delta Calibration Plugin from here. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php ... topi+delta

Okay,
I thought I was following Geneb's instructions carefully but I have done something wrong. Now when I run a G29 command it crashes the hotend into the bed. It starts out normally but instead of moving parallel to the bed to the X tower it slowly crashes into the bed and drags itself towards it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I fixed the issue by reflashing the firmware. When I have more time I will revisit the autocalibration on octopi
