Still having issues with "Probe samples exceed sample_tolerance"

All my belts have good tension according to shaper graphs, and my bed mesh is .116 on my 500. I've also made sure my mag sheet and pei sheet are clean, and the hot end is completely free of filament. I can't tighten my couplers any further. I'm unsure where to go from here. Am I having issues with missed steps on my Z motors? Often times I will get a poke test where the first and second numbers are very similar on the poke test, or even identical to each other, which seems strange.

Solution:
i nuked all my cfg files and started from scratch, zero mechanical changes, and now ratos calibrate is workign and im at the contact mesh point, been running for about 18 minutes now

Here's another example. This was during a contact test.

Same thing, again.

It's amazing how it manages to make the 2 separate numbers so close to each other on repeated pokes, but doesn't get the actual test correct. no clue where to begin fixing this.

Possible it's PID issues with my hot end? Probe point still goes up while the hot end says it's at temp

Is the Configurator supposed to give me a warnign about the PT1000 sensor? I have the jumper on the ebb42 board as instructed by the build guide
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
yes

Rewire5w ago
this one the range keeps going up until it settles and then passes the poke test
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
unlikely, it would have to fluctuate significantly, what does your temp graph look like?
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
it seems fine, but the dotted line is all over the place
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
that's PWM for ya. Can you show me a pic?
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
yeah let me heat it up again, doing that right now

I'm also seeing this on the ebb42 board diagram, we don't have to do this?

Starts high and then goes low

Like the poke test starts before the temp is correct

you're not using the MAX31685 this looks completely normal
Rewire

i saw that after, but the ebb42 has the same dip switchs, i wast just wondering if it mattered if not, great
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
enable performance mode in the hardware configurator
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
it's enabled
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
Then it's time to go over every single screw in your toolhead and z assembly Make sure you've hot tightened your nozzle etc etc
Rewire

i'm positive i've got them all cranked but i can try again
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
you can enable this part again, it will improve accuracy:
[stepper_z]
microsteps: 16

[stepper_z1]
microsteps: 16

[stepper_z2]
microsteps: 16
[stepper_z]
microsteps: 16

[stepper_z1]
microsteps: 16

[stepper_z2]
microsteps: 16
however i believe i made that the default
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
ok, i will, i commented it out thinking maybe it was wrong despite advices
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
Ah i only made it default on the IDEX. And everything is updated, yeah?
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
right yes, just did im on the RC3 now and everythgin else
miklschmidt
miklschmidt5w ago
👍 then it's all about mechanicals at this point
Rewire
Rewire5w ago
so make sure everything is tight oh, i'm pretty sure my rear z screw is bent, i can visibly see it wobble when it spins that could be it? oh the dip switches arent there lol. i've got everything as tight as they can be without stripping them
Rewire

isn't this a ridiculous amount of variance from when it says it's at temp and starts the poke test, and then when it actually passes the poke test? it goes from .069 all the way up to .097 before setting on .095.......

how does this even happen

from .016 to .094 in the span of a few pokes.....

It looks good except for when it started and the outer wall didn't stick. Never had an issue like this, no clue where to begin

This is beyond crazy, I assume I need to re calibrate my beacon?

@Rewire This looks like a messed up z-axis
miklschmidt

This is a big red flag

Obviously your hotend doesn't contract when heated.. Yeah looks like your hotend expansion is delayed quite a bit. @Rewire add this to [gcode_macro RatOS]: variable_hotend_heat_soak_time: 300 Then rerun BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE
Rewire
Rewire4w ago
will do, thanks just to note, i did manage to sort this out, i think in another thread
miklschmidt
miklschmidt4w ago
Ah in that case don't mind me 🙂

well im having issues again after a few days lol switched to PLA and its like it has amnesia so ill sort it out
