Unanswered Robo R1+ Issues (Leaning + LCD Contoller)

Filament type: PETG
Extruding Temp: 247
Bed Temp: 85
Bed makeup: Glass w/ Hairspray

Hi everyone,

I've tired doing as much searching around as I could before I decided to write a post including my problems as I hoped to figure them out based on others problems.

I believe that I have solved most of my issues but it seems that once one is solved, two more take it's place.

1.
My main issue I recently realized that I had a leaning issue along the y-axis(bed). It wasn't much but enough that it's noticeable on larger prints. My belt on the bed seems pretty tight and I removed the motor from below and tightened the set screws as well.

Here is a barrel I just printed last night to show the lean (The front piece snapped off so I glued it back on, just look at the larger barrel):

Is this enough to go on? I can take more photos I just need to know what to take the photos of.

2.
My second issue is I purchased the Smart LCD Controller XXL from: PrintedSolid and once I had it installed and working, any print job I try to run on it fails before it starts. The bed heats up and then the nozzle heats up but then the temp for the nozzle is set to 0 and the temp just drops forever never starting the print.

Example here:

Thanks for any and all help with this. I'd love to get everything working!

I'm unsure if the lean was always there or if it's new. These are some of the first prints that I did that had any real height to the models. I haven't done a paper leveling because I thought that if the Robo had auto level I wouldn't need to. Am I incorrect? I can to a paper level based on youtube videos but they all show beds that don't auto level.

I have used S3D before getting the LCD and used that same files on both. So they file works file with the printer connected and off of the LCD screen the fails to start.

 

How would I go about leveling the y axis(bed)? That is the axis that has leaning. I will try the paper leveling trick when I'm off work tonight. Thank you again for your help so far.

I'm struggling with the mattercontrol software and trying to get a paper level test done.

This is what my readout is with I m29:
<-Bed x: 15.00 y: 20.00 z: 0.06
<-Bed x: 110.00 y: 20.00 z: 0.19
<-Bed x: 205.00 y: 20.00 z: -0.12
<-Bed x: 205.00 y: 125.00 z: -0.37
<-Bed x: 110.00 y: 125.00 z: 0.01
<-Bed x: 15.00 y: 125.00 z: -0.27
<-Bed x: 15.00 y: 230.00 z: 0.08
<-Bed x: 110.00 y: 230.00 z: 0.42
<-Bed x: 205.00 y: 230.00 z: 0.39
<-Eqn coefficients: a: 0.00 b: 0.00 d: -0.11
<-planeNormal x: -0.00 y: -0.00 z: 1.00
<-X:205.00 Y:230.00 Z:-0.70 E:0.00 Count X: 205.00 Y:230.00 Z:-0.41
<-ok
<-echo:endstops hit: Z:0.39

It seems the plate is all out of wack in the z but I can't really understand how the z can go 0.06, -0.27, then 0.08 all on the same x?

 

So my glass bed is warped? What do I do? How can I level a warped bed? Should I update my firmware?

 

Ok I have updated the firmware to the RCBF for the R1+. I still have the issue of when I start a print via the LCD the bed heats up, the nozzle heats up, then the print starts up the nozzle temp is set to 0 and slowing falls. Still S3D but I'm open to try another if you guys think it's the slicer.

 

This is what I have in the start up script:

G28 X0 Y0 Z0 ; home all axes
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
M109 S[temperature] ; set the extruder temp and wait
G28 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Home Z again in case there was filament on nozzle
G29 ; probe the bed
M201 X1000 Y1000; // max accel print
