Hi All,

I am trying to work out how to include the ‘probe count=’ parameter, with no luck.

Have tried
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE MESH_MIN={XMIN-5},{YMIN-5} MESH_MAX={XMAX+5},{YMAX+5} PROBE_COUNT=3
and
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE MESH_MIN={XMIN-5},{YMIN-5} MESH_MAX={XMAX+5},{YMAX+5} PROBE_COUNT=3,3

ERROR
12:33:04
!! Malformed command 'BED_MESH_CALIBRATE MESH_MIN=119,119 MESH_MAX=140,140 PROBE_COUNT= 3,3'

Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried defining it in printer.cfg?
probe_count: 3,3

Hi gabe.mi,

I have worked out how to probe only the printed objects area, and not the full bed. Works well.
But when the object is less than 100x100 I need it to probe 3,3 as 5,5 is way overkill for small objects.

At the mo I just leave it at 5,5, but would be nice to do 3,3 programmatically base on object size.

I have it defined as 5,5 in printer.cfg.

Thanks
