[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.
