Just couldn't QGL anymore... Too many tries.

[Pradit]

Hi,

Just printed 2 small test print in the morning and adjusted some print_start warming bed and stuff.

Then it couldn't start print any more due to couldn't finish QGL.

Got too many tries error after 5/5...

Please help.

Try setting your tolerance a bit higher or just run the QGL again. Also be aware that running QGL when heating the bed in my opinion is a NO NO. Either do a cold QGL, or heat the bed, wait 10 -15 min for a heat soak and then QGL again.

This is my tolerance, though it used to be 0.075 prior to installing the Voron TAP

speed: 120
horizontal_move_z: 5
retries: 6
retry_tolerance: 0.0050                      (Change this value to something like 0.01, then slowly decrease the value if needed)
max_adjust: 10

Would be my advise too, but additional to that, check belt tension.

If you have differences in belt tension, your QGL will fail often... use the belt tensioners I posted in my latest diary from PETG.

I was wondering before how tight should the belt be. So it tend to be pretty tight before it could generate some frequency that guitar app can pickup.

I've been dump all along. That's one thing I did tighten the belt.

2nd I remove the heating in my G32 print start routine and put the heat up after QGL and it seem to work.

It must not QGL while hot with Klicky!!!

However, previously it seem to be ok with QGL during heat up.

Anyway let see how far can I go with this new tuning. 

Thanks guys.

been there done that, never again, what a dumb solution, sorry for saying but its as consistent as my sister... so... NOT

OK the Klicky microswitch malfunction. I notice sometime I didn't hear click sound.

I changed a new microswitch and tolerance is great now.

Glad you got it sorted

Ouch.

I use the tension meter tool off Printables.

Me too but I linked to the stl versions of these, not the Gcode ones. Those can be annoying since you have to edit it to make it work on a voron.

but yes, these meters are awesome, I think I found these too thanks to you

Should be added to the list of essential tools

Whoops! I meant to link the STLs.

ah ok, yeah, those are a little harder to find...   I always find these gcode ones too...

[smirk]

Would the STL file version be these ones?

[claudermilk]

That should work. I think the one I have in the toolbox was from the gcode--I printed on my Mini, so one of the files applied.
