Saving zoffset reverts back to zero #35

Open nutbox76 opened 3 months ago

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

Hi I have just received my max 3 and printed of a test piece after setting the z offest via the screen and it printed lovely with no problems then i updated the firmware to the latest version and now after doing the z offset it resets it to zero in the config and i have to manually enter it under the save config line. Please may you get this sorted because there are many people complaining about this on the facebook groups so is obviously a problem world wide. Thank you

If you are referring to this section under SAVE_CONFIG:

#*# [probe]
#*# z_offset = 0.000

That's because we are now using this section in /home/mks/klipper_config/config.mksini:

[babystep]
value                          = -1.300

Instead of original klipper configuration. The actual z_offset is the sum of these two values.

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

ok ,even so the system isn't saving the offset because when you start the print the nozzle is to high ,so are you saying it has to be entered manually in to babysteps section ? Thank you

CChen616 commented 3 months ago

Could you please perform a printer leveling and then upload the printer.cfg and config.mksini files as attachments? Due to GitHub's format requirements for attachments, you could rename them as .txt files or add them to a zip archive.

Well I reinstalled the update and then did the bed levelling and it has saved the offset ,for now it is printing well . If I need to adjust the offset is it best to do it via the max 3 screen or can I do it through fluidd and then save_config? Also may I ask why qidi has decided to do the z offset like this and not the klipper standard way? Thank you

For leveling and z-height, always use the screen and not fluidd.

In the standard approach, Klipper requires a restart after leveling to apply the latest Z-offset, which could lead to a loss of connection between the screen and Moonraker, causing the leveling interface to freeze. For users who prefer leveling with Fluidd, it's advised to manually clear the babystep section in config.mksini and follow Klipper's official guidelines for leveling. It is generally recommended to continue using the screen for leveling.

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

So are you saying that you can use the standard way of setting z offset via fluidd and it will save it and use that instead of babysteps? I ain't bothered about the screen because I would use fluidd to do every anyways.

CChen616 commented 3 months ago

If you opt for leveling using the standard way, please note the following two points:

  1. Before starting the leveling process, set the babystep value to 0 (if you stick to using the standard way for leveling, you only need to set this once).

  2. After leveling is complete, the Fluidd page will display a Z-offset value. Check the printer.cfg file; if the value has not been saved correctly, please enter it manually.

For specific leveling instructions, refer to the Calibrating probe Z offset section in the Klipper official documentation: Probe Calibrate - Klipper documentation

@nutbox76 I have just experienced the exact same issue as you described.

I tried to follow the chat but it seems confusing , I'd rather revert back to the original firmware I received with the printer ? Can't recall what version it was though? Is it safe to roll back 1 version and then expect z offset to save and work properly? @CChen616 @QIDITECH @trancified

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

From what I see you can't downgrade but I could be wrong

Waynedejager1 commented 3 months ago

I bought this printer to be free of the creality bullshit I've suffered in the past with never ending tweaks required.

Was beaming ear to ear when I got it and it worked out the box. The upgrade firmware has killed all that. Wish I stuck to ( if it ain't broke don't fix it ) instead I thought the shiny new toy would be even better. Damn -it.

Seems like I'll need to follow the retarded workaround.

@nutbox76 has it been an easy fix for you? Is there anyway you could direct me on what to do?

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

I ended up factory reset and them reinstalled the update and the did the auto bed level and it saved the babysteps in mks.ini file . But as said you can 0 that and use klippers z offset through fluidd

The factory reset does nothing on my side the firmware stays at 4.3.13 and the firmware update button doesnt appear to re-upload? any suggestions team - please i want to get printing again

nutbox76 commented 3 months ago

Post up your printer.cfg and mksini and I'm sure someone will get back to you

CChen616 commented 3 months ago

On firmware 4.3.13, factory reset will reset the config.mksini file and clean the cached printing history. The printer.cfg will not be affected.

Regarding update detection, please ensure that files such as QD_Max_SOC and QD_Max3_UI5.0 are located within the QD_Update folder in the root directory of your USB device. Then, proceed with detection and updating.

Currently, it is recommended to choose and stick to one of the following two methods for leveling your printer:

  1. Use the buttons provided on the screen.

  2. Follow the method mentioned here using fluidd.

If you opt for leveling using the standard way, please note the following two points:

  1. Before starting the leveling process, set the babystep value to 0 (if you stick to using the standard way for leveling, you only need to set this once).
  2. After leveling is complete, the Fluidd page will display a Z-offset value. Check the printer.cfg file; if the value has not been saved correctly, please enter it manually.

bonjour, j'ai du reflasher le EMMC et maintenant effectivement le Z offset ne s'enregistre plus . Doit on le mettre manuellement ici dans le printer.cfg image pour mon -0.81

ou dans le baby step ici image mais mon fichier est très bizarre : image

merci pour votre aide.

CChen616 commented 2 months ago

@sebdpx Please perform a factory reset and then execute the set z offset command on the display calibration page. This will ensure that your z offset is saved in config.mksini. Alternatively, you can manually enter your z offset in the babystep option of config.mksini after reset if you already know the z offset.
