My Hictop Bed leveling setup
Posted: September 28th, 2017, 1:03 pm
After finding and enabling Bed Leveling + Save Bed leveling Data in Marlin 1.1.5, Bad prints have almost disappeared.

My Bi-Linear Bed Data 3 x 3 matrix
< ----0--------1---------2
< 0 -0.123 +0.082 +0.095
< 1 -0.260 +0.002 +0.017
< 2 -0.025 -0.025 -0.160
Add the following to your slicer start up code
Restart 3D Printer
G28 ; Auto Home
M420 S1 ; Enable Bed leveling Data, Loading my Bi-Linear Bed Data :: This allows you to Print on leveled bed in microseconds
You still have to have the correct nozzle height and filament temperature ect.... that will allow the Filament to stick to the bed.
Because the Proximity sensor says you are at the correct height has no meaning, If the nozzle is way above or below the Sensor.
This is the purpose for a "Thumb Screw Slide Mount Adjustable Sensor". And if you have your thumb screw adjuster color coded in
quarters or even numbered 0 - 9 after a few time making the adjustment you can simple turn the Thumb Screw to that setting,
now you no longer need work making any test prints, to get the separation distance between the two correct.
The same can be accomplished by use of Z-Offset from the LCD controller, changing the Z-Offset value you can raise or lower the nozzle height.
With a starting Z-Offset of -00.50, then changing the Z-Offset numbers to " M206 Z-00.44 " effectively raises the nozzle .06 mm.
So changing the Z-Offset numbers to " M206 Z-00.56 " effectively lowers the nozzle .06 mm from our starting Z-Offset.
