I'm pretty sure the Ender 3 uses M4 screws. M3 is a different thread pitch and will throw off the calculations.
Yes, you are right the stock Ender 3 bed uses an CW M4 0.7 Coarse Pitch screw. The code on a stock Ender would be screw_thread: CW-M4. I try not too be to printer specific in these guides.
@@PigeonPrint I tried this this afternoon, it worked great. Thanks.
@@rew755 good to hear you got it working!
For Creality Ender 3 S1 pro im using:
[screws_tilt_adjust]
screw1: 60,74 #X,Y Position
screw1_name: front left screw
screw2: 60,232 #X,Y Position
screw2_name: rear left screw
screw3: 235,232 #X,Y Position
screw3_name: rear right screw
screw4: 235,60 #X,Y Position
screw4_name: front right screw
horizontal_move_z: 10.
speed: 50.
screw_thread: CW-M4 # Use CW for Clowise and CCW for Counter Clockwise
Maybe someone finds it usefull....
Thank you so much! Will speed up the process on my new Ender-3 S1 Pro...
Nice, struggle with my S1 and can only get Y to 229 so have u changed your bedsize in config to 235?
thanks a lot, helped me to get this feature to be recognized on my E3S1 with sonic pad. :)
But whenever I try to use screw tilt calculate, it probes the first screw and says out of range or something like that, don't remember correctly. Did you have the same error?
@@hashbringer975 r u using klipper and s1 pro?? It sounds like other size of the plate ?? Even if so, its easy to fit it for your needs, just adjust carefully probe so its over the screvs and use this numbers. Do it carefully - in small steps.
Thank you for these videos. This is exactly the feature I needed, but didn’t know existed
I got to say I use it far more than I do a bed mesh. Its such a handy tool!
as a note: The direction of turning the screw the opposite as what I expected to be common knowledge. It is Lefty tighty, righty loosey. Or, if it says, Counter clockwise, it means tighten the screw so that the bed goes down.
Good, simple instructions. Just what i needed when configuring Klipper on my Ender 3 :-)
Thank you.
Thank you, very helpful and straight to the point!
Thank you. Hope it was helpful and if you get stuck with anything else just drop a comment so I know to make a video about it, if one person has an issue, you can bet there are a lot of other people having the same issue!
this series has been so helpful. If you feel like a challenge - how about a neopixel setup on an SKR Mini 3 V2. Just kidding, probably a step too far!
Now that sounds like a challenge! Will look into it.
Great job, simple and succinct!
I know this is an old thread but when I measured where my screws are I used the nozzle. But when it tries to do the measuring it isn't taking the bltouch offsets. Should I measure the screws in relation to where the probe would be?
Yep, if your using a BLTouch, you want the BLTouch over the screws rather than the nozzle as it wont take probe offset into account.
I didn't know anything under 10 minutes was good to go 😂 I've been leveling it to 0 minutes every time! What kind of variance do you get on your bed mesh?
I mean, there is nothing wrong with going that precise 😂My bed on my Eder 3 has about a +/- 0.3mm when heated to 100c.
If I understand correctly, this helps us get our beds even, but wouldn't it also throw off the tramming of our bed? Or does it perfect the tramming of the bed and "smooth" out the bed mesh?
Yes, this helps tram the bed by making the bed suffice parallel with the tool head (all 4 corners will be equidistant to the nozzle). if you have a perfectly flat bed this will also level it, but if its a warped bed it will help with the mesh.
Would you recommend doing this hot or cold, and is a virtual center screw a good idea?@@PigeonPrint
@@bodaciouschad I always do it at printing temp, and just the 4 screws.
Thank you for not having a uselss 20 minute intro and making this video idiot-proof
:) thank you, hope it helped!
How to measure and insert the correct screw values? What is the reference?
Thank you for your great vid! :)
If its a bed slinger styled printer like an Ender 3 or clone, the vast majority will me M4, but you can measure the screw is you need to double check the width, M3 = 3mm wide, M4=4mm wide, M5=5mm wide and so on.
Awesome video thanks
how do I get the proper measurements? I typed in yours just to try but its not accurate. thanks
just use the manual controls and jog the nozzle till the probe is over the screw, and it should show you the XY position on the screen. You don't have to be exact a few mm off won't matter much, and remember to use the nozzle to find the coordinates, as it will use the probe offset when you run the command so the probe hits those spots.
@@PigeonPrint I can't get the command to account for my bltouch offsets. In researching in the Klipper discord it seems like you have to manually add the offsets. Can you confirm if you had to do this or if its actually using the stored offsets?
@@Nell8908 I dont think the mesurments you put in account for the porbes offset for example I have "screw1: 71, 49" and if I move my printer in the console to X71 Y49 my probe is over the screw, rather than the nozzle. So, I belive your best bet is to home the printer and manually jog it over the screws and note the couadnates it displays and use them in the config. I also find It doesn't need to be mm perfect so you can just move to the first screw and measure with a ruler how many more mm it is to the other screws.
@@PigeonPrint Awesome, thank you for clarifying. I was just confused by the comment "as it will use the probe offset when you run the command so the probe hits those spots." above. Love your concise quality videos btw
how to make bed mesh do auto not do manual adjust by hand
If you are using Fludd, there is a button called "Tune" on the left-hand side, this will probe your bed and make a mesh (in Mainsail I think its called "Hight Map").
Why are thing still SHIPPING WITH MARLIN! This is sooo cool!
Unfortunately you need another computer or microcomputer like a rasberry pi to run klipper, it can not run directly on the printer main board
@@chillywz3011 what about printers like the biqu or flsun that come with klipper out of the box. I don't have 1 of either, can't brands like creality and what not use the same board set up as those?
@@Armor3dprinting the boards those printers use are more expensive and come with a small control board that is like a rasberry pi, allowing the printer to run klipper (the btt hurakan for example, uses a manta m4p mainboard with a cb1 board attached that functions like a rasberry pi)
When I use screw tilt adjust, It puts the nozzle over the screw points and not the probe. If I go into klipper screen and use bed leveling, It will move the probe to the screw adjust. What is wrong here?
Did you use the probe or the nozzle for the initial measurements? You need to use the probe.
@@RobStangle I used the probe. The problem seems to lay in the klipper screen. Since 2 updates ago, it seems to write and read to the wrong file and I don't know where that file is. If I save my z offset, it shows the saved z offset but it doesn't actually use thst value. It uses the value in printer.cfg which is different.
@@marckart66 The Z offset is stored in your printer.cfg all the way at the bottom in the grayed out area (#*#).
dont get any button or even with command it says unknown command when i did it all for my printer in cfg
Can you link your printer.cfg file and I will take a look? can put it on a site like pastebin.com/ and then link here.
@@PigeonPrint For anyone coming in the future, I had to add a gcode_macro to my printer.cfg to get the button to appear on the main page. (I also added a homing command to the beginning of the macro
[gcode_macro Screws_Tilt_Adjust]
gcode:
G28
SCREWS_TILT_CALCULATE
@@McDouglasAlexander Adding the G28 to the macro is a really good idea, I'm going to do that myself!
I need help i can not get it to work
Got a little more info? Is nothing happening, are you getting error messages, or is the wrong thing happening?
cant your share printer.cfg klipper for ender 3
I can, but it will only work if you have the SKR E3 Mini V2 mainboard, if you have another board you will need to change all the pins and stepper settings.
My printer.cfg can be found here: pastebin.com/T7pfgMKB
Great video. I have a 3 point carriage. Any idea on how that works with this?
