The FUTURE Of 3D Printer Mesh Bed Leveling (KAMP)

After getting my Mercury 1.1 up on stream adaptive bed leveling was recommended to me to speed up the starting sequence. I had never heard of it prior but now that I have it set up I am shocked this is not the standard for mesh bed leveling. It is quicker, and creates a denser mesh than you would normally get probing your entire bed.

That green full sheet was the best first layer I’ve ever seen. I need a how to video on that 😂

[UncleJessy]

One of these days I will get a voron up & running & will be crazy excited to try and do this!

"Without further ado, let's get right into today's video." Followed by a logo intro and an advertisement for a different channel. :-) Nice video talking about something not many hear about, though.

You can achieve this too on any printer that supports the G29 command if you do use PrusaSlicer(and probably it's forks too). You just modify the Start GCode with Macros.

Example:
G29 L{first_layer_print_min[0]} R{min(190, first_layer_print_max[0])} F{first_layer_print_min[1]} B{min(180, first_layer_print_max[1])} ;

BUT BE AWARE: If your bed is too much crooked you will get problems with your purge line.... you will need to modify that gcode too so it is closer to actual printed model.

Example (PLEASE ONLY USE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND MODIFY


G1 X{max(2.0, first_layer_print_min[0] -skirt_distance - 2.0)} Y{min(print_bed_max[1]-10, ((first_layer_print_min[1]+first_layer_print_max[1])/2)+65)} E10 F1500 ; prime the nozzle
G1 X{max(2.0, first_layer_print_min[0] -skirt_distance - 1.7)} Y{min(print_bed_max[1]-10, ((first_layer_print_min[1]+first_layer_print_max[1])/2)+65)} F5000
G92 E0
G1 X{max(2.0, first_layer_print_min[0] -skirt_distance - 1.7)} Y{max(10, ((first_layer_print_min[1]+first_layer_print_max[1])/2)-65)} E10 F1200 ; prime the nozzle

Side note… loving that modbot led sign!!!

Been using klipper and Kamp on my belt modded ender 3. They are both great. I really love mainsail and not having to faff around with a SD card. Kamp is one of those simple but great ideas. My printer hasn't been more rock solid

[xManzi]

This is great video... I love 3d printing community in general. Everyone has such different videos. Lots of creators live stream, and do videos, but they are all different and they complement eachother so well...

For users that want to get into adaptive mesh probing, just know that KAMP is not the only way of doing it: since it's just a series of macros there are a lot of alternative implementations if you look around!

[chrislosada]

I was trying to get to do this last week but found it kinda complicated so just left it on the side to do later. Now this is way easier. Thanks

[Jetzalla]

It is a little confusin that you have a newer video about the adaptive mesh not pointing out enough that KAMP is needed for the adaptive mbl. I was so confused why it did not work since i thought the newer video is the newest way to do it.
I will install KAMP in a minute and i am so excited to see the adaptive mesh improving the workflow, saving time and giving me better results. Thanks

[stokedsince]

Just set this up because of your video. Can't believe I waited so long. It's so good.

[alexandrut]

This should be included in Klipper by default. I love both the tutorial and the addon!

[ZombieHedgehogMakes]

I've been using a much simpler macro for this, but the adaptive purge seems like the best solution as well. Thank you!

[Gryfang]

Finally got KAMP working on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro thanks to this video!!! You're awesome!

[kingjamez]

Thanks for letting us know about this! Super easy to get setup an immediate improvements.

[NathanWerstler]

I know I’m probably late to the party, but mind blown. Next time I have some free time I am adding this and exclude part to my setup.

[BakeJake]

I've been waiting for this to hit the sonicpad, oh my am I impressed, and very happy! It saves time, filament and is just smart! Thank you! I've been watching this over and over wishing I could use it lol

[johan]

I use it already for a while now and it's awesome! I stopped using Cura, because it didn't work properly with klipper. It didn't mesh, I searched on Google and people were saying that Cura was the problem. I use PrusaSlicer now and no problems with Klipper/KAMP. :)

[tyleradams]

When I had my S1 pro, the bed was so bad! I always just used the macro for only probe print area, but I'm going to give this a go with my SV06 for the adaptive purge

[jaystst]

been using this for over a year on my klipper ender3, saw it from CHEP, and been using an other version called PAM on the RR VCORE
and still prefer the blob purge from RatOs
