Is there a way to do a probles semi-auto calibration?

[Aaron Milligan]

I have a Kossel Mini with a RAMPS 1.4 board on Marlin 2.0. Is there a way to do a semi-automatic calibration without a probe? My allen key probe never worked right with Marlin 1.8, so I removed it a long time ago. I don't use an LCD or any on-board controls. I control it through Octoprint only.

Thanks,

Hi Aaron.

Please check docs here https://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html#probe-type - enabling

#define PROBE_MANUALLY

should let you probe using a piece of paper and a series of Gcode commands.

Then there's the regular G33 command to probe a number of points and calculate calibration offsets. It will take a bit of patience to perform using just the paper method, perhaps consider getting the allen key to work, it will make your life easier.

Disclaimer - It's been a while since I used Marlin but I figure it hasn't changed very much.

I have #define PROBE_MANUALLY, and #define MANUAL_PROBE_START_Z 0.2 enabled, but when I run G33, the printer moves to Z0.2, but the terminal just keeps saying echo: busy: paused for user, and doesn't respond to any commands.

Seems like a LCD is required. I dug out my old RepRapDiscount Smart Controller, and was able to go through calibration with a sheet of paper. It seems like it worked fantastic.
