Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the place for this problem as I'm not sure if it is a hardware or firmware one.
I must admit that my self build printer is sulking, it used to print very well but no longer. I am ashamed to say that I have ignored it for some years but have a few projects that I want to make plus I have some time now to carry on with it. But it's behaving like my first wife when I forgot her birthday!
I have treated it nicely and given it a cleaning and an upgrade to Marlin 2.0.x and then Bugfix 2.0.x and fitted an inductive probe for bed 'levelling' which works well and triggers when it should. However the printer is being really stubborn. Now I'm used to successfully dealing with lots of recalcitrent and obstreperous teenagers when I was a teacher but this thing has got me really foxed.
I set it up for bilateral probing on the normal 9 point mesh with interpolation and it worked at first well but suddenly, for no apparent reason (to me at least), it has refused to budge past the third probing point both when I send a g29 from Pronterface or a command from the full graphical controller it starts to probe correctly and completes 2 points but on the third it just stops and the only message I get from Pronterface is "probing failed2 - no reason given. I was hoping that someone on here has had the same or similar problem and managed to solve it. Please help if you can I would be very grateful and my printer would be pleased and forgive me - I hope!
I've attached My config.h just in case I missed something but I don't think so as it did initially work.
Best regards
TerryD
