Hi All,
So I built my first cartesian 3D printer and and I am planning to do a few tests as a CNC Router.
At this moment I have a dremel attached to the Z axis, using an endstop as Z Max Position. For bed leveling, I use an aligator clip on the bit of the dremel and the other contact is a old PCB that I have (1.65mm thick). The wires are connected to Z min Endstop.
After bed leveling (3 point) I can check the matrix created and it seems ok. Removing the PCB and sending the Z axis to 0 gives me exactly 1.65mm above the bed but I was expecting the bit to touch the bed since I have #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.65 // Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle]. Have already tried +1.65 but it gives me the same result.
I have also commented //#define MIN_SOFTWARE_ENDSTOPS and set #define Z_MIN_POS -5
Could you tell me if this is ok?
Appreciate any help you guys can provide.
