Hi Teleman and everyone contributing to this thread: just wanted to say thanks for the advice, it was very useful when I was going through similar issues during my build and commissioning my Huxley Duo.
I have one question though, when I do the bed compensation what I get seem to be to be rather large differences in the readings for the four corners. An example from the last time I did the compensation:
"Bed equation fits points [30.0, 5.0, 0.054] [30.0, 124.0, -0.517] [134.0, 124.0, -1.156] [134.0, 5.0, -0.434]"
Is this normal for the Huxley and is it able to deal with it or should I look into it? I have only printed a few things, but they seem on the whole to be ok (I am using the dc42 fork by the way)
Davide, not sure if this will come a bit late, but this is what I did:
- I initially commissioned the printer with firmware 0.78c as this was the one that was already installed in the Duet, and I was having issues finding the way to update the firmware, so I decided to ignore the update strong recommendation from the instructions temporarily.
- Printed the calibration pieces just fine with 0.78c, in fact I was pleasantly surprised the inaccuracies in the 90deg angles were not too high.
- Printer would go crazy with the M556 command. I decided to change to the dc42 fork (1.04f at that time) as the official RRP one seemed to be giving people some issues as Teleman reported.
- Everything seems to be working well, except a few minor issues such as the one I report above with the bed compensation accuracy.
Oh, one last thing, I agree with Teleman and do not use the papers in the corners, not necessary. Just make sure you do your z-probe calibration with the kapton tape only as the probe reads slightly different values.
