auto bed leveling offsets w/ Marlin
December 08, 2014 08:33PM
Heys All,

I hope someone can help me here, it seems to be something dumb I'm doing and spacing on something simple/obvious. I hope at least...

I've got a Prusa I3, with a new RUMBA board. I've got the servo/brace hooked up and working great (M280/M401/M402). The problem I have is how to do the offsets. The instructions (https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin) say to mark a spot, center the nozzle on it, zero out the axis, raise the nozzle 10+ mm and then position the switch on the same dot. The problem I have is that once I zero out axis, I can't go negative so I cant move in all directions and likewise center the switch - what is that I'm doing wrong here?

Thx in advance...

Sounds like the instructions assume your switch is offset in the positive direction from the hot end, where yours is offset in the negative direction. Are you sure you haven't gotten one of the axes switched the wrong way around?
