G29 shrink the print

Hi,

 

I have some troubles with PrusaSlicer 2.2.0 and G29 auto bed leveling on my Ender 5 printer with a BLTouch.

If I add G29 after G28 for auto bed leveling then the print is shrunk on Z axis (X and Y are OK).

Without the G29, the print is OK.

 

 

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks

 

My gcode is:

;

; external perimeters extrusion width = 0.45mm
; perimeters extrusion width = 0.45mm
; infill extrusion width = 0.45mm
; solid infill extrusion width = 0.45mm
; top infill extrusion width = 0.40mm
; support material extrusion width = 0.40mm
; first layer extrusion width = 0.70mm

RE: G29 shrink the print

I don’t think this is a slicer problem. The gcode for the movement and extrusion is the same with or without so it’s not the output gcode at issue. It’s how your firmware is dealing with the G29 code. Normally a G29 would have some form of parameter, iirc there’s about 3 or 4 different ways it’s used. It may be that your firmware needs something besides the base code. 
It could be the probing as setting some z micro stepping which is not reset when it comes to printing the actual gcode. What machine and firmware are you using ?  Can you contact the help/support of whoever supplied the firmware to ask ?
