Disclamer: There are different ways to do a printer calibration. This is only one way that works for my specific printer. It might not work for others.
I'm working in a better version of this video. I will make a simple program with just a few buttons to simplify calibration and will do my best to specify what printers work with it. I'll try to make it compatible with most. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to comment and I'll do my best to help!
@@Camusdemerac Thanks. I also made my own calibration software, based on the pronterface commands, that simplifies the calibration. I haven't worked on it in 2 years but I'll update it when I get a chance and do a video on it.
So maybe after a few years its now M303? cus G29 comes up unknown, now after calibration it puts me in an "echo:busy: paused for user" from which i cant save, heat up, or move anything. unless i disconnect, reconnect the printer
Hello! I just added an E3V6 hotend to my monoprice mini V1, and I updated the firmware. Now I am trying to run a couple of commands to my Monoprice from Pronterface, but, I am having a REAL hard time finding the Com port, and I cannot connect. I have tried both on my Mac, but, also on a PC laptop running Windows 8.1. When I launch Pronterface on the Mac and the PC, the Port window is blank (on both), and I just have no idea how to find the information to type in.. I had thought I found it at times, but, so far, no luck. Any chance you can help guide me to find the right port that I plug the USB into to my monoprice? I know the ports all work on the Mac and the PC. THANKS!!!
I'm still completely lost after watching this. All I want to do is make the printer save a default Z offset of 0.2mm because I used a 0.2mm feeler gauge, plus the bed leveling knobs to get it at a good height all around the bed. But no matter when when I go to print a file the Z offset seems to be all over the place. I did M502, moved Z up 0.2mm, did M500 to save. M502 to load. Hit Home, but the printer still just shows Z: 0 after going home. Shouldn't it show an offset of 0.2mm???
That's not how you save the offset. This video shows how to do a mesh leveling system. Sorry it's a little misleading title. This was years ago and my first video and didn't give many specifics of who might benefit from this or how you can make your printer accept this calibration procedure. Going back to what you are trying to do, you need to use the M851 gcode command. if you already know the offset just do "M851 Z0.2" or "M851 Z-0.2" not sure if positive or negative would be the right value. I think negative. then after doing "M851 Z-0.2" send M500. That should be it. Sending M502 would overwrite your value I think so you don't want that.
Need help when open pronterface and connect to 3d printer the settings scroll infefintely and printer doesnt respond to jog commands...workked fine earlier todsy
Done! I will start uploading new videos soon. I will keep making tutorials and I'll make a few programs to simplify certain things like calibration so people don't have to use pronterface with 1000 buttons
So you can move the axis with the left buttons? That sounds like a pronterface glitch. All the left buttons do is send Gcode commands so if that works, sending commands should also work.

Dude you need a images or video of your printer too we cannot imagine what the printer is doing if we can´t see it best regards.
Thanks for the tip. I never imagined this would get any views. I will start making more videos and will include a view of the printer next time.
@@srobotics8157 very usefull video specially for ppl that makes their own printers thanks =)

@@srobotics8157 Awesome keep it up =)

Awesome video. Where can I download pronterface? The windows binaries link are not working..

What device shows up in device manager when you connect your printer? you may be missing the driver.
in prontorface 250000 Baud Rate
all its work correct but m5o2 comand just say sending and nothing more
i have and voxelab aquila
Very nice presentation; learned a lot. :-)
Thanks!

Yup. same here...next video...

Hard to tell whats wrong. I would try to reset everything and see if it fixes it.
Buy a new Micro man

when i send commands it says sending : but no action.......
the left interface works great.
any tips? im trying to level the bed using commands
