How to double the mesh size in IDEX Copy Mode?

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Sovol SV04
MCU / Printerboard: stm32f103xe

Describe your issue:

…I’m using my IDEX in copy mode. Somehow, the bed mesh is only being done on half of the bed. How do I make the bed mesh cover the second half?

Do you think it would make sense?

  1. You only can print on one half with one nozzle at a time.
  2. Only one nozzle height can be corrected by the bed mesh.

Usually you do disable bed mesh with copy/mirror mode and start with a thicker 1st layer.

3

Why would it only take one side of the mesh? A smarter mesh compensation would average between the two nozzles printing at the sams time…

4

Average won’t have any advantage.

If you have a point of z = -0.1 on one side and z = 0.1 on the other side, the average is 0, but too high on the first and too low on the other side.

5

I beg to differ.

In this case you’re describing, the layer thickness of 0.2 can compensate for both sides of the print whereas having a meshing for one side only guarantees the other side to fail.

That was an example. Yo usually go with a bit more for the first layer.

The chances are high
