Question regarding functions about octoprint-smartabl HOT 11 CLOSED

Mmmm, yes. Enable the checkbox in settings, so the plugin doesn't send m420 again and instead send G29

from octoprint-smartabl.

Correct, that should work. You don't need to modify your slicer settings. SmartABL should recognize M420 and trigger ABL according to your settings.

Thank you! I will test it with a couple of fast prints and see if it works :) it's a great plugin

from octoprint-smartabl.

Noted! I'll add that to the next release

Hi, sorry for the delay, I've been pretty busy.

I've added a prerelease for 0.1.4, do you mind checking it? It shows a counter under the print information with the number of prints until ABL is triggered. I've fixed the bug with M420 not triggering ABL.

I'll check it out! And write a follow up if I encounter anything weird. Out of all the plugins I have, I think yours is the most useful so keep up the fantastic work and take care :)

This you mean?

Do I also have to add G29 in prusaslicer?

Okay yes it works! Thank you :) however I'm wondering about one other thing.
When the abl has finished, it goes straight to the printing process and therefore i can't manually adjust the bed or set the offset like you can when you do abl normally.
Im sure there's a command for this.

from octoprint-smartabl.

Mmmm, that's not what I do. I usually send G29 to generate the mesh and start printing, the printer compensates the Z-height according to the mesh generated with G29, without physically modifying the bed. I only do manual leveling using tramming wizard (marlin), but I do it occasionally, when the points in the mesh are higher/lower than 0.1mm.

How do you use ABL?

from octoprint-smartabl.

I see. Well it's not a problem at all but this is how I usually do it :)

I usually run the abl and then I check each corners with a 0.1 blade and adjust if needed.
I know its not needed each time and I've actually started to not do this each time and trust the probe but sometimes I do this, because I have the probe at a bad location (ender s1 pro) it won't probe the whole bed and thus miss some of the bad spots.

Every now and then when needed, before I manually run the abl, I first use a digital dial indicator and make sure the bed is 100% level and then I run the abl and then I do manual checking after that. Since I started doing this, my first layers are amazing. I have the silicone rubber spacer instead of the springs so I do this maybe only once a month.

And btw, would it be possible to include some kind of counter that tells you how many prints before it will trigger the abl?
