[FR] implement different probing/homing speed for contact probing
Is it possible to have a dedicated probing or homing speed parameter available for contact probing?
The speed parameter in the [BDsensor] section is for QGL or PROBE_ACCURACY only.
So you can lets say define homing_speed: 30 under the z stepper section in Klipper and perform a fast contactless Z homing before QGL and afterwards perform a final contact Z homing with way smaller speeds like 2 or 3 mm/s.
Like your Z_Tilt/QGL macro this will speed up the whole process before starting an actual print and can take advantage of both the contactless and contacted probing possibility of the BD_Sensor.
Other eddy current probes offer such features and it would be just nice to have here too!
yes, it is possible, need to rewrite the macro of G28, I will try it first and then update here.
I have just tested that and updated the BDsensor.py and macro for this. wiki: https://github.com/markniu/Bed_Distance_sensor/wiki/Homing-with-contactless-and-contact-probing-together
As I'm on holidays now I can't test it right now. But what I want is that when i set probing to contactless and I home Z that it uses a higher speed and when I set it to contact probing it uses the lower speed. It should not perform two subsequent homings though that will save time too.
FWIW:
- home Z fast contactless
- QGL with your macro
- final contact homing of Z
So depending on the probe mode it should use the fast or the slow speed.
