Yeah.. and I also had derived values for my thermistors in the other two tables, so the values were different. Nothing made a differences so any time I had a generic table selected though, it just stayed 0°C and wouldn't change regardless of temp.Host.Flateric wrote:Sorry about that, yes, I was referring to the firmware revision number not the host version number which are both very confusingly similar in numbering.
I was running 0.90 alpha FIRMWARE, and the commonly available 90c HOST.
But you mention that the 0.91 has just been issued. Are you referring to host or firmware now?
I did not try that...since the preset tables were working just fine it didn't cross my mind to change inputs.Flateric wrote:Just a crazy thought, did you try jumping the thermistors to different thermistor inputs? I vaguely seem to remember having to do that with my rambo when I ran 0.90alpha firmware with it.

The probe has a limit switch type connection to the RAMBo. The wires are not attached yet to the probe shown in the video. I was planning on using a piece of PTFE tube stuck into a hole which would be drilled beside the probe. Picture two wires coming out of the end of the PFTE tubing (like a whip) and leading down to the probe.
The software to integrate this has not been written yet. The algorithm will probe 4 points. One at each tower and one in the center. While the three tower points define a plane, the center point will allow for spherical calculations, like center point and radius. The software stores the new values and begins your print.
This should eliminate the need manually set the z height as well as eliminate the need to manually set the delta radius offset. Basically, this saves you a bunch of time. And if the machine is moved from place to place, you can quickly auto-calibrate and start printing.
I dub thee The SeeMeCNC Pinkman Brigade! I dunno, man, I sure would have loved to have this thing when I discovered the hard way that my print bed was an entire 0.2mm higher when it had been at 95c for several hours. Sure would have saved me a lot of swearing and panic.cope413 wrote:Will this really improve print quality that much? I've gotten my bed leveling/z-height to within a few thou, is the probes' tolerance going to be much tighter?
I now have over 350 hours on my machine that I purchased late June. I've had to recalibrate exactly twice - and once was because I installed a new hotend.
How often are you all needing to recalibrate?
I feel like this is either for lazy people or for new machines/users.

As for my manual calibration.....I have had lathes give me more hell calibrating and zeroing. This one was easy. The first print was spot on perfect. The good instructions on zeroing were very good.
Just remember.....some of us have more than one type of machine to tend to, and need to shave our time down so that other machines can be set up for totally different jobs that have nothing to do with 3d printing.
A 3d printer salesman would agree with this totally. Demos are the stuff with which you bargain with in the tool industry. Makefaire is a perfect example, which is where I saw the Rostock Max in action, and bought the kit later on.
Lazy? No. Busy fixing other machines while this one hums away. I never considered the rostock max a toy.
