BLTouch
I had the Geeetech Sensor in operation for a while but it did not work as satisfactory as hoped. I am trying the "original" BL Touch now see http://www.BLTouch.com
Firmware 1.1.9 with BLTouch
has a link to:
that i used as a Basis. Please check the BLTOUCH_DELAY which i have seen with other values in other bltouch firmwares
/**
* The BLTouch probe uses a Hall effect sensor and emulates a servo.
*/
#define BLTOUCH
#if ENABLED(BLTOUCH)
#define BLTOUCH_DELAY 375 // (ms) Enable and increase if needed

I compiled and uploaded things with Arduino 1.8.9 on a Mac
Configuration
I ended up with a Z-Level offset of -2.28. I tried -2.4 and did a 0.15 mm DIN A4 paper test moving the Z-Axis down and still having 0.1 mm to go - the paper was a bit thight so i went for 0.02 less.
With Octoprints Bed Visualizer plugin i got:
which i consider decent. The print results are o.k.
Installation
I had to follow both of the following videos to get the Sensor working:
The firmare is available from
- Geeetech's github site
- https://github.com/jakobend/Marlin-A10
- https://drucktipps3d.de/forum/topic/mein-geeetech-a10-neue-revesion-und-ich/?part=2
see videos and Marlin on how to compile and flash the firmware onto the device.
Level Mesh visualization
The following visualization was created with the Bed Visualizer plugin of OctoPrint
