# Skew correction
|
||||
|
||||
Software based skew correction can help resolve dimensional inaccuracies
|
||||
resulting from a printer assembly that is not perfectly square. Note
|
||||
that if your printer is significantly skewed it is strongly recommended to
|
||||
first use mechanical means to get your printer as square as possible prior
|
||||
to applying software based correction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Print a Calibration Object
|
||||
|
||||
The first step in correcting skew is to print a
|
||||
[calibration object](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563185/files)
|
||||
along the plane you want to correct. There is also a
|
||||
[calibration object](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2972743)
|
||||
that includes all planes in one model. You want the object oriented
|
||||
so that corner A is toward the origin of the plane.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that no skew correction is applied during this print. You may
|
||||
do this by either removing the `[skew_correction]` module from printer.cfg
|
||||
or by issuing a `SET_SKEW CLEAR=1` gcode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Take your measurements
|
||||
|
||||
The `[skew_correcton]` module requires 3 measurements for each plane you want
|
||||
to correct; the length from Corner A to Corner C, the length from Corner B
|
||||
to Corner D, and the length from Corner A to Corner D. When measuring length
|
||||
AD do not include the flats on the corners that some test objects provide.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Configure your skew
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure `[skew_correction]` is in printer.cfg. You may now use the `SET_SKEW`
|
||||
gcode to configure skew_correcton. For example, if your measured lengths
|
||||
along XY are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Length AC = 140.4
|
||||
Length BD = 142.8
|
||||
Length AD = 99.8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`SET_SKEW` can be used to configure skew correction for the XY plane.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SET_SKEW XY=140.4,142.8,99.8
|
||||
```
|
||||
You may also add measurements for XZ and YZ to the gcode:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SET_SKEW XY=140.4,142.8,99.8 XZ=141.6,141.4,99.8 YZ=142.4,140.5,99.5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `[skew_correction]` module also supports profile management in a manner
|
||||
similar to `[bed_mesh]`. After setting skew using the `SET_SKEW` gcode,
|
||||
you may use the `SKEW_PROFILE` gcode to save it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SKEW_PROFILE SAVE=my_skew_profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
After this command you will be prompted to issue a `SAVE_CONFIG` gcode to
|
||||
save the profile to persistent storage. If no profile is named
|
||||
`my_skew_profile` then a new profile will be created. If the named profile
|
||||
exists it will be overwritten.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a saved profile, you may load it:
|
||||
```
|
||||
SKEW_PROFILE LOAD=my_skew_profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to remove an old or out of date profile:
|
||||
```
|
||||
SKEW_PROFILE REMOVE=my_skew_profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
After removing a profile you will be prompted to issue a `SAVE_CONFIG` to
|
||||
make this change persist.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verifying your correction
|
||||
|
||||
After skew_correction has been configured you may reprint the calibration
|
||||
part with correction enabled. Use the following gcode to check your
|
||||
skew on each plane. The results should be lower than those reported via
|
||||
`GET_CURRENT_SKEW`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CALC_MEASURED_SKEW AC=<ac_length> BD=<bd_length> AD=<ad_length>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the nature of skew correction it is recommended to configure skew
|
||||
in your start gcode, after homing and any kind of movement that travels
|
||||
near the edge of the print area such as a purge or nozzle wipe. You may
|
||||
use use the `SET_SKEW` or `SKEW_PROFILE` gcodes to accomplish this. It is
|
||||
also recommended to issue a `SET_SKEW CLEAR=1` in your end gcode.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that it is possible for `[skew_correction]` to generate a correction
|
||||
that moves the tool beyond the printer's boundaries on the X and/or Y axes. It
|
||||
is recommended to arrange parts away from the edges when using
|
||||
`[skew_correction]`.
