Rate My Mesh

I finally got around to installing the bed visualizer in Octoprint and this was the result.

Difference between the highest point and the lowest point is about 160 microns. I guess I at least shouldn't need the silicone mod... This was using the thinner, powder coated sheet.

I think I know, I don’t think I know. I don’t think I think I know, I don’t think I think.

This is just spot on... 😀 

Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉

Did a bit of tweaking to the X end and managed to get it all within 100 microns between the lowest and highest points. I kinda want to see what a 7x7 mesh would look like now.

Is this with stock Y carriage or did you do silicone mod?

Stock assembly.

How did you tweak the X axys? And what gcode are you using for bed visualizer? Trying to work out if there is a way to load the mesh at each print start, rather than manually update it

You can tweak the X axis with the screws at the end as outlined in Prusa's knowledge database: https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/xz-axis-skew-correction-mini_158518

The GCode for the Mini for the bed visualizer is as follows:

 

M104 S170 ; set extruder temp for bed leveling
M140 S60 ; set bed temp
M109 R170 ; wait for bed leveling temp
M190 S60 ; wait for bed temp
G28 ; home all without mesh bed level
@BEDLEVELVISUALIZER ; instruct plugin to start recording responses from printer.
G29 ; mesh bed leveling

You can remove the mesh bed leveling code from the gcode of your print files, but the mini does not save the data to memory, so it's a moot point and has to run before every print.
