Autoleveling just doesn't work

I thought autoleveling worked, turns out it was MatterControl all along, hats off to them, their software autoleveling is flawless, I thought the machine was capable of autoleveling because I turned MatterControl's autoleveling off, and the prints were leveled, turned out MatterControl is bugged, it re-enables auto leveling non-deterministically

I've turned the auto leveling of MatterControl off, closed the program, re-opened, printed without the software auto leveling this time, the printer started printing 2-3mm in-air

My conclusion, no such thing as autoleveling, or the setup is somehow very flawed, as a result, I'm unable to use any other program than MatterControl, am I correct in assuming these?

 

This is false. You can use any software you like as long as it's compatible with the arduino board, which is a lot.

To name the most popular
Repetier-Host (Free for basic)
Cura (Free)
Simplify3D ($140)

Your printers dimensions are

x: 220 width
y: 254 length
z: 210 height

use marlin/reprap and 250000 for the baud rate.


I could never get matter controls autolevel to works, but it works for other people so I dunno.

 

I think MatterControl's autolevel might not be working for you as your device's autolevel is functioning, they are probably interfering / amplifying/doubling the correction

However I've seen no indication that my device autolevels on its own, only MatterControl's autolevel works, and it works perfectly

Where should I go from here?

 

My firmware version is RoBo3DR1AUTOV1 - I'm wondering whether this is the latest version

 

use the update feature in matter control to get it on v4

 

Don't see it on the UI, where is it, can you possibly post a screenshot?

I would guess it would be on the first page, where the firmware is reported, however there is no update button or notification there

 

what version of matter control are you running

 

Latest release / 1.1.6 as far as I remember, it updated less then a week ago

 

Try just installing this firmware and see if it lets you update: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hd6djpsdaaqiumw/Auto_Level_6_10.zip
