print starts above bed? after updating mattercontrol

been having good prints so far but now for some reason the print starts above the bed like a few inches after updating matter control to 1.1.7 any ideas how to fix this ?

its also doing the 9 point leveling and the hobed bolt? is clicking not like the 3 point leveling before

 

Which version of the RoBo3D do you have? I have the R1 and when I first got it, it was on the V1 firmware. I was fighting this for a few hours, then I found out that if I had AutoLevel enabled, it would set everything up like it was supposed to, but when it would start to print, it would start printing in the air. I ran through the AutoLevel wizard, then I pressed Disable and it started printing on the print bed. I updated to V2 and it has been printing pretty nicely with AutoLevel enabled, until last night when it started printing in the air again for some reason.

 

yeah the new r1 had a few months now getting there lol abs/pla one

 

It takes some time, haha. I just got mine last week. So yeah, see if disabling the AutoLevel does anything for you. I always ran through the wizard, then disabled it. I don't know if the wizard helps anything if you disable it, but I figured it can't hurt.

 

Redo the paper calibration. Remove any Z offset

 

ty i think that did it wont be doing anymore updates if everythings already working in the future lol
disabling after helped to just hat to manually adjust here and there

 

im still getting the hobbed bolt clicking though like its extruding but instead of just running out at normal its stoping and going every few seconds ? if that makes sense

 

Every time my hobbled bolt has been clicking, it's been that the filament was being pushed against a ledge instead of down the hole. Is it possible that this is what's happening for you?

 

looks ok to me hmm

 

Would it be possible for you to record a video so we can actually see and hear what it's doing? I doubt I'd be of much help, but I'm sure some of the people here could tell you exactly what's going on by looking at a video.

 

yeah will put one up tomorrow today? i have to sort out my sleeping pattern heh

 

What I do to get a clogged filament out of the extruder is to heat up a pin red hot and shove it down into the extruder hole and jabbing into whatever might be down there. You'll need to heat the extruder and to 220 while doing this.


Repeat till nothing comes up.

 

no clogs found

 

heh just went to start a print to record and it didnt do it i think its watching me

 

Hahaha, that's how things tend to work.

 

what i have gotten myself into
