Bed Leveling - new Build
July 03, 2014 11:42PM
Thanks to the advice on my previous thread and the forums as a whole, Im almost done with my Kossel Mini build!

I've run the autoprobe, calibrated for the size and off-set from my hot-end and I think i'm looking at an off-level print bed. I haven't tried printing anything yet since I'd like to make sure I have as much straightened out first before I start using filament.

can anyone suggest how to correct (or read) the surface map I've attached? I've run the probe 5 times and the map is always the same shape, though the numbers change somewhat. I think once I know what I'm looking at I'll be in good shape and can probably work to fix it.

numbers:
0.31 0.31 0.31 0.01 -0.3 -0.3 -0.3
0.45 0.45 -0.18 -0.5 -0.67 -0.71 -0.71
1.34 0.31 -0.34 -0.73 -0.89 -0.92 -0.66
0.94 -0.18 -0.7 -0.93 -1 -0.88 -0.64
0.76 -0.12 -0.69 -0.88 -0.96 -0.87 -0.45
-0.22 -0.22 -0.73 -0.84 -0.75 -0.48 -0.48
-0.22 -0.22 -0.22 -0.34 -0.24 -0.24 -0.24

How do you use a program, please?

If the number change by more than ±0.02 then it is not good - you may need stronger structure with less play.

You should calibrate your printer.
Either try Rich Cattell's firmware: [groups.google.com]
or try this approach: [groups.google.com]
or some other calibration tutorial.
