Unanswered z offset

I would not just blindly past my code in. First thing to try is remove that comment tag you have in there in front of G28 Z0.

 

Try a raise of like 10mm just as a sanity check that it's working.

 

The M565 z-1.5 also concerns me. I think G-code is case dependant so it might need to be a capital Z. Also please stick with one thread per issue I've merged this with your other thread

 

Alright... Trying again with this code:

;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time}
;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density}
;Print time: {print_time}
;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g
;Filament cost: {filament_cost}
;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line
;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 ;X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
M565 Z-1.0 ; Define Z offset at 1.0mm
G29 ;Run auto-level
G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}
;Put printing message on LCD screen
M117 Printing...

 

did not go well... Tried to print what seemed to be off the bed, went all the way to the back, the belt started grinding and then went all the way to the right where the belt started grinding again. I pushed the emergency stop button at that point.

 

Can anyone see a difference in this code vs my first code?? This seems to be working... the only difference is that I connected via USB vs SD Card...

;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time}
;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density}
;Print time: {print_time}
;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g
;Filament cost: {filament_cost}
;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line
;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off

G28 ;home all axis
M565 Z-1.0 ;Define a 1.0mm offset, this may need adjusting
G29 ;run autolevel routine

G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm

G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}
;Put printing message on LCD screen
M117 Printing...

 

Is it homing all the axis properly?


Try this, just tweaked the G28's a bit:

Code:

;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time}
;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density}
;Print time: {print_time}
;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g
;Filament cost: {filament_cost}
;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line
;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 ; Home All Axis
M565 Z-1.0 ; Define Z offset at 1.0mm
G29 ;Run auto-level
G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}
;Put printing message on LCD screen

I got it working, but only through a USB connection. If I save the G-Code to an SD card, it goes back to the same problems.

 

Format all the old data off the SD card in case it's using an old file.

 

Here's my take on Cura.... When it works, it makes FANTASTIC prints. It working however, is 1 out of 10 chances. Dropping Cura for the time being, Going to try Repeiter (sp)... If I can't get that to work reliably, going to give the printer a rest till I can afford Simplify 3d.
