allow input of bed dimensions in future version? #2

Closed Careless closed 5 years ago

Careless commented 5 years ago

would be cool to have an input field group that allows users to enter their bed dimensions and desired grid spacing so that it could be used on other/custom built printers with other bed sizes.

the grid spacing would allow the test to complete faster on larger print surfaces that may sometimes be used in conjunction with taller layer printing heights & line widths, as the deviation from point to point may be less critical on printers like that, but levelling to some degree with this application would still be welcome to those users.

Your app is a much better alternative to the solution in the 3DPrinterTool for Marlin (which I still like), or generating my own graph from a CSV/tabbed output in console (still decent, just bothersome, even with all the automation tools I've tried).

Having the ability to map a 235x235 and 300x300 bed would be Great!

This should be live in the latest release. There are new boxes you can type any dimensions (in mm) you like. :D

depark88 commented 5 years ago

Awesome! Thanks. I'll be using this once my printer is fixed. I'm just waiting for parts.

depark88 commented 5 years ago

Dumb question, How do you get it to start the utility? Thanks

npiegdon commented 5 years ago

Do you mean once you're already running the app? In v1.2, click the "Measure every..." button. That will start running the grid pattern based on the number in the box next to that button.

No, how to start the app. Thanks

Hmm, I might still be misunderstanding. You should be able to:

  1. Download bed-inspector.exe from the latest release page.
  2. Run it.
  3. (If there is an error message, make sure you've got the .NET 4.7.2 Runtime installed.)

Thanks, I figured it out last night. I hadn't seen the .exe file till then. Thanks for the help and a great app. Cheers
