Hi, I got my machine up and running with a lot of helps from some really great people here.now i was wonder if its possible for the Open Build Controller software to do auto leveling? I got such a big build (4'x10') and it be great to have the system probe the bed before a run. Can this be done, if so where can I get the instructions. Peter
The OpenbuildsCONTROL software cannot do this. It is designed to be simple for beginners and you are now venturing into advanced territory. The only one I know can do it is bCNC but I think you will have to scan the bed for every job. Most of us just fly cut the entire bed (or a sacrificial layer on top of it) to flatten it. bcnc autolevel vlachoudis/bCNC
Alternative suggestion: Use the surfacing Wizard under Wizards and Tools to flatten the bed so you don't need to probe
OK...I saw the surfacing option on the new Open Build software and did that yesterday. It took 4 hours to surfaced the 4' x 10' bed..OK..now to finish cutting my boat parts!!!! I really like this control box...will add the laser option later.. : )
Estlcam also does auto leveling. It has a ton of other features as well. Although, you would need a ton of aluminum tape... ...or a probe.
