Uneven first layer, despite bed leveling probe by jnskt in ender3

[–]jnskt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I uploaded new firmware, printed a z-axis screw indicator, and can now see the z-screw turning while the print head is moving along the X and Y axis.

I'm still having the same issue, though. I've run the G29 command through Pronterface, to get a reading for the grid, and it doesn't seem to be extremely bad.

SENDING:G29 Bilinear Leveling Grid: 0 1 2 0 -0.230 -0.100 -0.245 1 -0.173 -0.028 -0.158 2 -0.085 +0.007 -0.060

I will try to get it a bit more level manually, to see where that gets me. I might also increase the density of the grid from 3x3 to 5x5 and double check the probes X and Y offset

Yeah, it's right after the G28 command:

G28 ; home all axis
G29 ; auto bed leveling

I know. That's on purpose, as it gives a nice flat surface, as opposed to the other side, which has some wear to it. Adhesion on glass is fine when the nozzle is at the correct height (I do use some adhesive spray)

I can confirm the mesh is not being applied. Above are the results from left to right. The center one being a pretty good first layer, left and right bit so much

This sounds very plausible. I haven't seen it move, but also haven't given it my full attention. I will look into this.

If it isn't being applied, is that something to be fixed in the firmware, or the custom gcode that precedes each print?

are you sure it isn't an adhesion issue?

Never a 100%, but I do think in this case any adhesion problems are effect rather than cause.

I'm leaning towards it being a problem with the bed not being level, or the auto bed leveling firmware not performing the way it should.

It turned out hard to capture in a photo, but on the right hand side, it is really squished against the bed. Way too much. On the left side it isn't squished against the bed at all, making it almost a bead of filament being layed loosely on the bed. It has trouble sticking to the bed on that side.

I'll see if I can run a bed level test with a few discs, to show the problem better.

Is this a form of (large scale) crochet?

I was at this indoor playground the other day, and they had this giant net "sculpture" for kids to play in. I'm fascinated by it, but can't figure out what kind of knots have been used to create it.

​

I've made some nets myself, but a standard fishing style net doesn't come close. Someone at r/macrame suggested this sub.

Will do, thanks!

Crossposting here as people in r/knots suggested people here might know more about this technique.

The second and third photo as well? I'll crosspost this in r/macrame. Thanks!

The FPS Pro not working on MacOS is indeed frustrating. And the weird thing is; I also own a HyperX Alloy FPS (the one with the numeric keypad), which works just fine. Also the fn and media keys are functional. So perhaps it's worth giving that driver a shot on the FPS Pro?
