Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
Hi guys. I finally attempted this auto bed leveling feature. So far from my limited testing, it seems to work. Here is a video of it in action. https://youtu.be/V33DIzl-81I Sorry about my elementary video editing skills... Great video. :) I just printed out the requisite parts for this autolevellin...

Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
My advice ....while time consuming would be to grab the minis firmware and your m2s and compare the two .Look at the sections configuration H And configuration advanced especially. I have wanted to do this exact same thing with my machine but sadly my motherboards auto tramming is still not working...

Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
The easy solution, which I already do for other reasons, is to modify your ending gcode to retract your filament out of the hot zone at print end. I do this to make filament swaps easier at my next print as well as making startup easier with no filament in the nozzle. I always preheat, then clean m...

Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
Except for the thin layer of plastic that forms a perfect insulator around the nozzle... Good point. I want to follow the mini's lead with retracting the filament and doing some sort of wipe procedure before the actual leveling event. The button option does sound interesting, but I think the nozzle...

Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
Hi guys. I'm interested in doing my own auto bed levelling experiments but I'm a real novice. I was hoping I could get some help here. So here goes. My plan is to follow lulzbot mini's strategy of having metal contact points at the corners of the print bed. They will be part of some type of clamping...

Re: M2 Auto-Leveling
i'm going to try optical myself... less hassle, flexible for surface types, and if implemented right, could be accurate within .01mm+-. which should be good enough. in theory you could get down as low as .001mm but, i'm not going to use a laser for this. problem with most optical approaches i've se...

Re: Mic 6 tooling plate
I did check eBay. But the fact only ones I saw are huge and the shipping costs 3 times more than the actual cost of the Muc-6. But I will ask them if they can cut to size and ship a smaller item to me, it might be cheaper. I hope.

Re: Mic 6 tooling plate
Hi guys! I'm getting really interested in a Mic-6 for my (soon to arrive, I hope) M2. Only problem is I'm in Australia and I can't find a retailer online that sells this stuff. :-( Any of you guys know where I might be able to order one already cut to size for the M2? I have noticed that there is a ...

Re: Opinion on a few things...
Hello again! Thank you jimc and jsc! I've never actually heard of OctoPrint before, this is great news! I already have a couple of RaspPi just gathering dust somewhere, now I can use it! I might connect a touch screen LCD on it for coolness factor. :) I get your point about just swapping nozzles, ji...
