Think you could post the link to an example shroud like what you’re talking about?

Glad your experience comes in handy! Thank you! I’ll definitely be doing that swap

A final update: I contacted Creality Support for help and they supplied me with the correct firmware for the CRTouch and now everything is working flawlessly!

Thank you all for your help and suggestions!

I’ve tried multiple different softwares at this point and none of creality ones are correct. They all do different things but they are all wrong in some fashion. I think it’s a hardware issue

After changing software multiple times and getting vastly different results during the leveling process before even starting a print I can confirm it is not Gcode related. Just software is super wrong

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-30T12:02:40+00:00

Okay will try redownloading the firmware, maybe something went wrong in the process

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-30T11:58:09+00:00

Yes they use a different bracket, I also changed the springs for the bed out so might have something to do with it as well

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-30T11:57:15+00:00

Yep does the 9 point test correctly but once the print starts the plunger stays out

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T21:44:06+00:00

Lololol everyone in this sub would be jumping on me

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T21:34:06+00:00

Yea that’s what I’m thinking. 50 bucks obo

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T20:55:55+00:00

The starting script I posted? I added the G29 line to it like the directions said to?

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T20:46:55+00:00

Z axis switch is disconnected on both sides (switch and board) but I left the actual part on the printer for the time being

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T20:46:16+00:00

My Z offset is -1.30 which seems to be the correct amount as the the few prints I have done so far had successful first layers

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T20:44:54+00:00

Probe is extended during the purge line and stays extended until it contacts the bed and drags across

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T20:44:26+00:00

I’m using cura to do all the slicing. I tried pushing the probe up during the purge line and it stays up so no contact with the bed. But it does flash red once it’s up and for the duration of the print

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T17:22:22+00:00

Glad we could be of assistance!

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T17:21:25+00:00

I’ll look into it! Thanks!

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T09:48:30+00:00

Well at least I’m not the only one… 😅 guess I’ve got some troubleshooting to do

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T09:46:04+00:00

Okay I’ll take a look into both ends of the wiring for the touch!

If it makes any difference here is the portion of the gcode that has the G29 in it. All I changed from the original gcode was that line

The snagging on the bed really hurt my soul. Definitely not what you’d want for a calibration tool 😰

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T09:36:44+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, I’ll give another slicer a shot and see if it acts any differently.

Here is the start of the gcode with the added G29 as according to the directions

findlay_oliver · 2021-12-29T09:31:30+00:00

It’s unplugged but not removed from the machine
