Re: Kossel Mini auto level deploy and retract position

You you first figure out where you needed to send the effector to position it to deploy the probe. For arguement sake let's use just Johann coded:

G1 X25 Y93 Z100 F7000 ; get set to deploy using the Z tower belt
G1 X0 F120 ; slowly move to the left to X=0 Y93 Z100. Probe should be deployed

;Now you do your G29 sequence
...

; Now to retract you need to know the coordinates of the edge you will use to push against to retract the probe
G1 X-40 Y-82 Z10 F1200
G1 Z0 F120 ; move down 10mm to retract probe. This distance and the previous line's height need to be determined manually using the jog buttons to verify

However, in my experience, the surface probing has never worked and causes some parabolic movements right after probing. What does work is calibrating the right M666 offsets after you have parallel movement of the effector to the bed and the bed is flat itself (mic6 aluminum, float glass, etc...). I have removed the probe from my mini and the only effort I put into probing is to convince others it unneeded :)

How would you add it as G1 command?
Thanks for bringing this up, I googled for this on several occasions and didn't find anything.
