Configuring Marlin
The pullup for the Z_MIN endstop needs to be enabled. Uncomment the line:
#define ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZMIN
The endstop should be set to non-inverting:
const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
Enable auto-bed levelling:
#define ENABLE_AUTO_BED_LEVELING // Delete the comment to enable (remove // at the start of the line) #define Z_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST // If not commented out, Z-Probe Repeatability test will be included if Auto Bed Leveling is Enabled.
Recommended bed levelling mode is grid:
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID
Adjust the coordinates that define the corners of the probed grid:
#define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 50 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 150 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 180
Set the grid size:
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID_POINTS 2
Configure the probe offset from the nozzle:
#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 30 // Probe on: -left +right #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 // Probe on: -front +behind #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.95 // -below (always!)
Configure homing / probing settings:
#define Z_RAISE_BEFORE_HOMING 4 // (in mm) Raise Z before homing (G28) for Probe Clearance. // Be sure you have this distance over your Z_MAX_POS in case
#define XY_TRAVEL_SPEED 8000 // X and Y axis travel speed between probes, in mm/min
#define Z_RAISE_BEFORE_PROBING 5 //How much the extruder will be raised before traveling to the first probing point. #define Z_RAISE_BETWEEN_PROBINGS 2 //How much the extruder will be raised when traveling from between next probing points #define Z_RAISE_AFTER_PROBING 5 //How much the extruder will be raised after the last probing point.
When using a probe instead of an endstop, it's a good idea to enable Z_SAFE_HOMING. This moves the probe to the center of the bed before homing:
#define Z_SAFE_HOMING // This feature is meant to avoid Z homing with probe outside the bed area.
By default the point that the probe homes at should be the center of the bed - however some versions of Marlin contain a bug where the probe point is miscalculated. To be safe, you can manually define the probe point:
#define Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT (100) // X point for Z homing when homing all axis (G28) #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_Y_POINT (100) // Y point for Z homing when homing all axis (G28)
