[SOLVED] adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

Hello...

does the new version of simplify3d has the Adaptive Mesh Leveling ?
prusaslicer, orcaslicer has this command for that.
something like this:

Re: adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

Yes, this is fairly easy to do using the [build_min_*] and [build_max_*] variables. Just add the following to your starting script depending on which firmware you are using:

Klipper:
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min=[build_min_x],[build_min_y] mesh_max=[build_max_x],[build_max_y] PROBE_COUNT=6,6

Marlin:
G29 L[build_min_x] R[build_max_x] F[build_min_y] B[build_max_y]

Hey,

Unfortunately it does not work properly on the K1 Max. The printer goes into a loop to mount the adaptive bedmesh and does not start printing.

Re: [SOLVED] adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

The K1 made a lot of changes to the regular Klipper firmware, so it's possible they might require some kind of different changes. I would recommend opening a topic in the troubleshooting sub-forum and posting more details about the behavior.

Re: [SOLVED] adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

i tested the same part in the same position

slicer (orca) and there is a difference in calculating the area for mesh leveling...

simplify3d:
M98 P"print_a_mesh.g" A96.09 B203.91 C89.54 D182.46

orcaslicer:
M98 P"print_a_mesh.g" A135.46 B177.318 C97.5004 D184.327

orca is more accurate...
simplify3d enlarge way more the area compared with orca...

It doesn't enlarge the area at all unless you have Additions turned on like a skirt, raft, ooze shield, etc. Those will all increase the area since they are added beside the part.

Re: [SOLVED] adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

Yes it's like you said.
simplify3d calculates with addition turned on, while orcaslicer does not.

Re: [SOLVED] adaptive mesh leveling (bed mesh on print area only)

Yes, that's the intentional behavior. If you don't include the additions then things like the prime pillar or ooze shield might fail to stick to the bed. That can easily ruin the printer, so we include it in the overall build dimensions.
