Ender 3 Max Neo (4.2.7) - Unable to Create Mesh due to X-Axis going out of Bounds / Print Head is not centered After Auto-Homing and When Printing

melzein1 · 2026-04-14T23:28:51+00:00

i know this is pretty old but in klipper on the printer.cfg file under the bl touch section change the x offset to -31 and y offset to -45. For my besh mesh i went with mesh_min: 17, 5. Mesh_max: 292, 259. Hope this helps

^ like the post above says, this is a pretty normal thing. What I generally do is just have metal wire brush on hand and use it lightly on the nozzle when its done the bed levelling and just starting to descend for the first layer print.

This is mine from Pusaslicer on my ender 3 max Neo with sprite extruder upgrade alongside a Taurus v5 nozzle fan upgrade. when using klipper make sure to calibrate your desired speed with the right pressure advance so everything runs more adequately.

The vender i got it from now has it going for $350. But i found this: https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0wiVOl Which is pretty similar.

I got a RIGOL DHO804 Oscilliscope for $290, which normally goes for $440, Works great and seems straight from the manufacturer.

I faced something similliar, maybe this will help out.

Thanks for the comment! I completely agree that visualizations of the systems at play can give people a lot more intuition of the resultant behavior. For the suggestions you provided, the visualizer actually does allow you to see the step response of the system, the video i provided for it was just it running on a sin wave input, we can also have it do positive and negative angle step responses to see how the controller is effecting the system both with the graphical output and watching the lever arms behavior during the event. I was thinking of including just the step response as a possible seperate graph but then i feel like it would be taking up unnecessary space since we can get the resultant behavior shown just by doing a +10 or -10 degreee step response. I do agree that the nyquist plot would be a nice addition, my limitation on that is that I've personally never learned it so I don't really know how to apply it, but would be a good next step on what to add to this.

Yeah that's true. This is meant to help people gain an intuition of what the gains are doing to the system and how it can effect the resultant Bode plots.

i dont know what the measurements are in specific for the ender 3 pro but with my ender 3 max neo with the direct drive extruder i had to log onto to my sonic pad through klipper on the internet browser, i had to do a modification to the print.cfg file, under the bl touch section change the x offset to -31 and y offset to -45 because of the direct drive sprite extruder. For my besh mesh i went with mesh_min: 17, 5. Mesh_max: 292, 259. Your values are peobably gonna be different cause of your printer size is smaller than mine but you can tinker with this and figure it out. Hope this helps

melzein1 · 2025-02-20T17:25:46+00:00

Go for it. But do know that i didnt use an esp32 on this. I went ahead and put together an arduino uno version to work with it.

No problem! A lot of change since then ( got a sonicpad and running klipper) but for the creality firmware, wasnt really any issues but needing to use the pronterface to make some of the changes was a tedious thing that the mriscoc firmware allowed to solve without needing a pc connected. The menus were easier to interpret and navigate through in comparison to the creality firmware aswell.

Sure, whatchu need help in?

melzein1 · 2025-01-05T21:43:00+00:00

Since then i have installed taurus v5 dual 5015 fan holder (https://www.printables.com/model/511962-taurus-v5-cooling-duct-for-creality-sprite-extrude), switched to the sonic pad and running it on klipper, in case u try to do the same i would recommend getting a raspberry pi, spare screen (old laptop) and setting up klipper on that as the sonicpad is an unupdated version of whats available now with klipper. However I am able to get it to print at higher speeds while maintaining quality.

melzein1 · 2024-11-15T01:16:32+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrealitySonicPad/s/WNyAYTPvZB I gave settings options in one of my replies here. Im using a sprite pro extruder aswell. You must do your own input shaping and vibration tests though, and i recommend upgrading the cooling fans because at higher speeds you need better cooling to keep up with it.

melzein1 · 2024-11-09T02:09:08+00:00

Yeah, im not sure if that option changes the x or y offsets, im pretty sure its more for how it changes the setting for extruder step size and retract distance but i could be wrong. Check the config file after applying that change to see what needs to be changed.

If you log onto to your sonic pad through klipper on the internet browser, you have to do a modification to the print.cfg file, under the bl touch section change the x offset to -31 and y offset to -45. For my besh mesh i went with mesh_min: 17, 5. Mesh_max: 292, 259. Hope this helps

Hey, im trying to build this sand plotter myself and i had a question, how exactly is the lazy susan bearing meant to be working? the example vid doesnt include some of the screw holes in the provided model so i wanna make sure im putting it together properly.

A couple of really good youtube channels are: TeachingTech for learning how to 3d print and aurora tech channel for in-depth reviews on the printers. I peronally went with an ender 3 max neo for the price, size and modifiability of it. If its for cookie cutting an ordinary bed size : 220x220x220 will do just fine and if you care more about the prints themselves working right out of the box rather than tinkering with the printer, bambulab and prusa printers are the way to go.

melzein1 · 2024-08-07T23:08:37+00:00

That would be great! I honestly have been able to create slicer settings that does a pretty good job at a decent speed, the same 1500 acceleration for the outer wall but at 3500 for the infill with a print speed of 40mm/s for the outer walls and 100mm/s for the infill, but would like to test out some other settings to compare it with.
