I decided to add autoleveling to snapmaker for cnc, I don’t have a problem milling pcbs but I would like to make the process easier. Right now I can mill a board in 1 shot correctly, but it’s slow and loud due to having to move at 6% speed, I’ve attached a picture of the results below: [20200409_2…

@parachvte , @Mika I think the words “Auto Leveling” is where part of the problems comes in. For Auto Leveling, there needs to be a sensor or external feedback. What would be great for a start is to have normal or manual leveling? The same Manual Leveling as with the 3D Printing module. From wha…

Are there commands for marlin, that would mirror the functionalities of a probe on a cnc machine? (of course if there is some kind of probe attached)

@Melanchrom I believe the standard Bed Leveling G29, M420 should work. Last time I was playing with the CNC, I noticed that there were no values when I called the M503 values. I’m planning to test and see if I can manually generate M420 values and save these when the CNC module is connected. Thus…

That would be an interesting first step. Although you would probably need to etch below 0. That might raise problems. What I would really like is a possibility to probe the edges of a workpiece. This way you could find the corner and the orientation of your material on your bed.

Hi Waldo, your feedback has been forwarded to our team. Thank you :+1:

Thank you @JKC20 . I’ve tested my suggestion and am happy to tell you that it works. Following is my process explained; [image] Bed leveling for pcb milling? Snapmaker Original @Mika , @Melanchrom , @Tone , @Edwin , @parachvte I’m pleased to announce that I have successfull…

Sad to hear that you stopped developing the auto-leveler app. I am considering to starting giving it a shot of my own. I already did something similar with a prusa-like 3d printer where I had easier access to the controller, and it was surprisingly devoted of any major setbacks. Could you explain a…

Auto leveling was meant as autoleveling, the arduino probe is the sensor and uses just simple connection to detect it touching. This is actually the easy part. @Dreyer My biggest stopper is the lack of experience around 3d programming, and how i would actually take the sensor probe results and for…

Today I did a test with my autoleveling project. I have the following setup: Prerequisites a cnc file with a pcb circuit ready for milling the traces. autoleveller AE installed => output of a probe file a digital indicator from aliexpress : 4 Size Digitale Indicator 0 12.7Mm/0 25.4Mm 0.001Mm 0.000…

Nice I actually was trying to do something similar. Gotten a similar dial indicator, wrote some code for an esp to read it out and wanted to use it for bed leveling. and more relevant, afterwards, carving curved objects. Did you solder the wires to the dial indicator? I actually entertained mys…
