Travel Limits

[filoumoteur]

Hi,

I'm trying to use travel limits feature in Teacup and either I don't understand how to use them or there's a bug. On my printer, the head can go out of the bed by 30mm before the endstop is trigged (X axis). So, I set the X_MIN to 30 and the X_MAX to 230, but the printer seems to only consider the X_MAX. More than that, is looks that it does X_MAX - X_MIN as X_MAX and X_MIN stays flush to the endstop switch. As example, I can set X_MAX to 400 and X_MIN to 200 and the head will never hit the frame.

Is that a software issue or I haven't understand how to use travels limits?

Fwiw it's really handy to be able to move the nozzle off the bed, all my printers have a startup routine which purges the nozzle over the edge of the bed and wipes the noodle off on the edge of the bed before starting each print.

To ensure I print in the centre, I either set the endstop location to a negative value or simply tell my slicer where the bed centre is On 26 Feb 2016 5:29 am, "filoumoteur" [email protected] wrote:

I think you understand this wrong. If you want to set the 0 position of X to the edge of your bed and you can go 30mm ahead of it, you should set x_min to **-**30.

The is the way Marlin do it. But maybe Teacup works a bit different?!?
