ENDER 3 S1 PRO CR TOUCH NO Y OFFSET

It's the position of the probe in relation to the nozzle. So yes, in Y, it's at 0 because it's aligned with the nozzle, which makes for more precise meshing.

No, with the S1 or S1 Pro it's okay. You just need to add a shim under your probe to compensate for the length of your hotend.

Hello, yes this is compatible!

Yes, you need to modify the position of your probe in the firmware. Look in the description for information.

Well, I did that with the GCODE commands. When I print, the probe goes to the center of the plate and then it starts printing in the center as well. However, the grid is off, but it seems with less than -46.5. I use the factory firmware.

M501 echoes this for M851: X-46.60 Y0.00 Z-3.10

Still having this issue after updating to Synman's S1 Pro Marlin 2.1.2.
ABL uses more points with this firmware, but the X offset in the grid is still there.
Any clue?

I don't know, I don't use Marlin anymore... Maybe you should ask the person who made the firmware because it must be possible to modify it.

Because you need to modify your endstop positions. If you don't set the right decallage, your mesh won't be placed in the right place and compensation will be distorted.

can you link me to articles describing this? I'm using the printer.cfg Creality created when I added the S1 plus to my sonicpad, shouldn't that have the correct endstops?

would this link be what I need? Specifically setting the bed screw x/y? https://www.klipper3d.org/Manual_Level.html as well as this link? https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Mesh.html. I'm not sure I understand it yet but will work through those pages until I do.

I think I figured it out, referenced an S1 plus config off the klipper site, going to do some fine tuning to make sure it all works.

Some people on my paid design have added a screw through the plate to press on the endstop switch.

Hello, you need to remove the extruder from your printer and remove the black shroud that covers the fan and acts as a support for your probe.
Then, to fix the probe, you can keep the two screws but you'll need to add a nut.

Thanks a lot. If I'm feeling brave one day then I'll give it a go!

I've just added a callout if you're using a longer hotend. Otherwise nothing has changed.

ok, I see so that second part moves the sensor lower. Thanks for clearing things up.

It must be standard pitch, so 0.5 I think. You can check with the two screws holding your CR-Touch probe.

Awesome, thanks!

Hi, yes PLA+ should be fine.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. You need to correct the probe location. Look at the design description above there is the information.

I did, I used exactly all the offset numbers you provided and also for the x stepper, but for some reason the location is still offcenter...

Maybe the sonic bad is the problem?

Strange, it should work on Klipper. I don't use the Sonic pad but it should be the same...

I think I found the solution. I changed the safe_z_home from 145,155 to 165,114. Now the homing goes to the middle. Do you think it's a legit solution or I need to keep the homing to the original specifications?

Yes, that's for the survey position before printing. Perfect if it solved the problem. When meshing it's centered?

yes now it is.
thank you from the bottom of my heart! for the design , and for responding to comments and trying to help. you actually saved my printing passion! i was already so frustrated

You're welcome! Good print!

One last thing and I hope I'm not eating your head (at least you can say it like that in my language 😂)
Now when I do the bed mesh calibration, the probes z offset is abit too low, and the probe always keeps contact with the bed. I don't think it's a big problem because the prode does work, but I wonder if it's an easy cfg fix?
Like to increase the z hight abit when probing?

Do you have these two lines in the [bltouch] section of the printer.cfg file?

probe_with_touch_mode: true
stow_on_each_sample: false

If that still doesn't do the trick, you can add this line:
sample_retract_dist: 2.0
This means that the Z axis will move up by 2 mm during sampling.
You can add 3 or more depending on your needs.

All this information is available on the Klipper website: https://www.klipper3d.org/fr/Config_Reference.html#bltouch

Hi, not at the moment...

Hello, I don't know Marlin very well I'm on Klipper. I never did this manipulation but normally it should work some have done it.

Ok. So as I understand i need to change some come in printer.cfg? Can you send me your code with necessary changes to be 100% everything is ok? For example on e-mail?

If you have Klipper it's easier. Just change the settings in the config file that I have indicated in the description of the ad. My config file would be of no use to you because I use another design with the hot end cooling...

Ok. Thanks I will try it with klipper.

I've printed this twice now, and it's broken twice now. I don't think it's a problem with the part itself, I think the cr touch is dragging on the infill, it bent my pin in the CR touch.

I did switch to a v6 nozzle instead of the stock mk8 (I couldn't find any mk8 tungsten carbide in stock anywhere), should I be able to take the STL and just shave the difference in the nozzle heights off? Any other suggestions?

Do you have an S1 or an S1 Pro? Because the design is for the Sprite Pro extruder of the S1 Pro. There is a small difference in probe/nozzle height between the two extruders.
If you have now replaced your nozzle and it is higher you will need to call your probe to have it at the right height.

I have a S1 Pro. The V6 nozzles are slightly shorter than the mk8, so they screw into the hotend a bit further...I had to lower my z offset about 1mm when I put the new nozzle in.

You can lower the hotend tube. There is a hex screw on the back of the extruder that allows you to lower the entire hotend. In general the probe should be about 2 mm from your nozzle/platter

Ok. I'll get another printed and look at lowering the hotend tube. Thanks!

Yes, you can move it a little bit if your probe rubs slightly. Now with your different nozzle I don't know if it will fit....

Shoot, I was on my phone and didnt realize I was on a reply instead of starting my own thread....anyways, feel free to say no if you're not comfortable, but can I possibly get the design files so I can move the CR Touch mount up 1mm? I have zero intention of publishing them or anything anwhere, I just want this to work so I don't have to buy new nozzles. Modifying the STL is a pain.

I can edit the file for you with the probe 1mm higher if you want. I'm not home right now. I'll look at it when I get back later today.
Give me your email address.

That would be awesome! nateeric10@gmail.com. Thanks!

I sent you the file!

I have the same request of editing the probe to be 1 to 1.5 mm higher, if I can get the design file that would be great or if you could send it I would really appreciate that as well

Send me an email (it's on my Cults profile) and I'll send you the file.

Hi, thanks for your comment. It's great if it improved the mesh!
Indeed some people have to adjust the boundaries in Klipper. I think there are differences between printers...

Just move the print head carriage forward as far as it will go and write down the value and carry it over to the settings.
I think that's what you did.

For the mesh it's a bit the same you must not exceed the limit of the end of stroke otherwise you will have an error.

Hello,
Thanks for your comment. You can use the same screws but you will need two M3 nuts for the CR-touch. I think I forgot to mention it, I will add it in the description.

Awesome! THANKS again :) You mentioned to print with PETG - I'm wondering if PLA would be fine? Cheers

PLA is more sensitive to heat. The plate is near the hotend on the bottom. Maybe it's okay in PLA but I haven't tried it.

Thanks - I printed in PETG just now. For the installation, I need to remove the entire circuit board from the back of the extruder and place the printed part in between correct?

Yes, in the same place as the original plate.

Thanks again for the design - works great! Question: I noticed that during the bed levelling the probe doesn't retract before going to the next point on the print bed - at least it doesn't look like it does as it looks like it's dragging along - I could be wrong, but before I could see the probe retract and then move to the next point in the bed then drops down, retracts, moves, drops down, and so forth. Welcome any thoughts with regards, or if you can verify with your Ender. Thanks!

Do you use Klipper? The design does not change the way the mesh is made, it just moves the probe. There must be a parameter that has changed.
