In addition sometimes i get the following error if I try to calibrate z: Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _VAOC_ENSURE_CONTROL_POINT_WITHIN_EXPECTED_CAMERA_POS:gcode': gcode.CommandError: VAOC x-control coordinate is set to 245.178 but is expected to be within 5mm of 212.500. Please run '_VAOC_RESET' to roll back to default values. or also : Error during homing move: Move out of range: 250.022 522.491 -7.000 [0.000] Hast some one an idea what's the problem?

Likewise, I have also run into the same issue. The only thing I could find searching for it in the discord channel was https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/937654723727745046/1300965554495946772

Tried this several times doesn't work. I get the errors from post 2 and 3

please share the debug.zip file you ahve most likely pasted the code to the wrong position
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you havent followed the instructions you havent copy and pasted the complete result into the printer.cfg
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you need to copy and paste the complete result of the command to the last position in the printer.cfg

Ok then I hav eto try it again. @Helge Keck I followed your instruction but when I try to do the Z- calibartion I get this error: Error during homing move: Move out of range: 248.518 524.174 -7.000 [0.000] and Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _VAOC_ENSURE_TOOLHEAD_WITHIN_CONTROL_POINT:gcode': gcode.CommandError: Unexpected x-coordinate detected, VAOC aborted. Expected 211.018 but got 248.518.

Thx now it seems to be calibrated! @Helge Keck but now i get this error when trying to print: Error evaluating 'gcode_macro START_PRINT:gcode': gcode.CommandError: Toolhead x-offset is too high for the available parking space. Calibrate your X and DC endstop positions and make sure you stay below 1mm.
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
But I did this minutes before?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
please share your debug.zip file
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
there is something seriously wrong on your setup

if oyu have followed the new calibration this value should be below 1 mm i see you havent followed the instructions at all
Helge Keck

you need to copy and paste everything the new calibration prints out to the console after you make the calibration
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
I did fill in the other values where ther was already one thats why they are not all on at the same place
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
this is definitly not possible
No description

Helge Keck4w ago
this would mean your printer is 12mm shorter than others
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
but thats what the software gave me
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
there is something wrong on your setuo please check your toolhead endstops if they are mounted correctly 12mm difference is just not possible in real life either one of your toolheads is not correctly assembled, or you suffer from heavyily skewed gantryor your belts are completely off left toolhead is -60 and right toolhead should be 560 there can be some difference, but not 12mm you need to find the reason for that also, guide says revert to default endstop positions

these are nto the default values but this doesnt explain the big difference you see

change these two values to -60
No description
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
and these two to 560

Helge Keck4w ago
then run _VAOC_RESET and retry the calibration
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
also, maybe its the photo, but it looks like the sensor isnt perpendicular to the rail

Same error. The sensor is just a little bit not as is looks like on the picture
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
share again the debug.zip
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you ahve exactly the same values as before in the printer,cfg file
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
No description

Helge Keck4w ago
thats not possible you need to copy and paste the new values there
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
ok sorry didn't know i have to change them again
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
follow the guide form the link do every step it says
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
Should i real just copy and past it as it is or overwrite the old values?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
overwrite the old values i mean remove the part from before and then copy and paste the new lines in there
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
to clarify the standard values should be kept in so there will be two times : [dual_carriage] position_max: position_endstop:
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you already have the standard values we changed that before
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
I mean in the printer.cfg the there then will be two times the variable: [dual_carriage] position_max:
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
jast make what the guide says run the commands and then copy and paste the result at the end of the printer .cfg
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
[dual_carriage] position_max: 559.916 position_endstop: 559.916 [gcode_macro RatOS] variable_bed_margin_x: [60.000, 59.916] [gcode_macro _VAOC] variable_expected_camera_x_position: 214.051 variable_expected_camera_y_position: 522.609 [gcode_macro T0] variable_parking_position: -58.000 [gcode_macro T1] variable_parking_position: 557.916
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
do not copy and paste it here, paste it in the printer.cfg file
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
I did this doesn't work again
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
share the debug-zip again
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
ok, your values look much more normal now, however, you ahve still a offset of 3mm
No description
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you have most likely a skewed gantry and/or uneven tensioned belts or different belt lengths thats the only reason why you still have such a high x-offset i recommedn to realign your gantry and check belt tension and length before doing this calibration you need to make sure your motion system and your belt tuning is correct assuming you have centered both nozzles exactly over the camera also a wrong y rail alignment can cause this issue as well so check all of the said points before continueing
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
ok, this is bad new thank you
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
no bad news, its just part of the build process there is jsut something misaligned its fixable but your endstop positions and everything do look good now so its just some tuning needed and it will work if everything is well aligned your x-offset value should be close to 0mm also try to wiggle on the X and DC endstops, maybe they are not mounted correctly
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
ok I will try these suggestions
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
i suggest to run _VAOC_RESET then try to relaign the gantry, the belts and the y rails after inut shaper tuning is successfull you make then the endstop calibration again
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
I tried the do input shaping before I have to disasamble the printer again which gives me another error: Move out of range: -61.194 248.570 17.000 [0.000]
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
you need to make a _VAOC_RESET as a descirbed above then making inout shaping and then redoing the endstop and vaoc thing
Anrot
AnrotOP4w ago
ok but im also not able to move the T1 to anywhere with same error ist this because of the x offset which is to big?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck4w ago
its bc you didnt made the VAOC_RESET vaoc reset sets the x offset to 0
