Beacon Rev H - Will not pass calibration. What is wrong?
Doing the configuration. Everything starts out fine.. passes then gets to the last part... throughout when it is outputing latencies, it is 1-3... all of a sudden at the end.. its now 4,5,6. It is doing the final sampling (from right top corner).. I get sample readings that are ridiculous.. I have went and checked the z rod couplers... if I am reading it right, I push them down and tighten to the stepper motor shaft... and there needs to be a space between the stepper shaft and the bottom of the rod? I have also done the signal testing.. it looks correct... Why would the latency dramatically change.. starts out great.. then garbage.. Can't pass this calibration... When I run a print test, I have to set my z offset each time.. will not save..

In my case, I notice when everything is heated up.. my spread samples become too big..
I have rechecked my z's they are properly setup.. Iget through a bunch of the calibration.. get this once the bed and hjotend are heated up...
do you have the printer in performance mode? I dont think it will make a difference for this error but once you are sure your endstops are working and the steppers are going in the right direction enable it.
I'm 99.9% sure you're looking at a mechanical issue. Could be your bed arms going soft at temp, or something stupid like that.
What material are your printed parts made with?
Arms are printed using ABS
I have checked the z motors/coupler.. its as it should be
I am now in performance mode as well
Endstops? The x and y work. The beacon works until this point.. :S
What if I run the test at lower temps? Just to see if it makes any difference?
So I kept testing, I tightened up parts (on z, the screws had some give).. it passed.. I do my first print.. its a bit low, but again it could be flow/extrusion rate might be too much... but it prints..
How does the z offset work, if I read before it can be ignored dependent on heat coefficient?
That was the last part fo the calibration
babystep as usual, save it with SAVE_Z_OFFSET (only adjustments during the first layer will be saved)
Yes I did that.. but I think my flows are off as well.. the prints coming out of this rapido 2 are ass 😄
