Greetings,
So I have a 3D printer of my own design, hbot with moving Z-axis bed, running the latest version of Marlin. There are two steppers moving the bed up and down via threaded rods.
I recently tried using Mesh bed leveling with a 3x3 grid (with the discount reprap LCD controller) to compensate for a mild tilt in my bed, but the Z axis motors just didn't move to compensate for the tilt during the print. They moved the platform down between layers as it was printing, but not as each layer was being printed.
I also tried using Auto bed leveling with 3 points, using a conductive nozzle probe, but still no luck. The probing goes correctly, the print starts, and the print head runs into the glass on one side of the print, and extrudes a little too high on the other side.
I haven't seen any other forum posts about this particular error, so either I done goofed, or I'm in trouble. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
