K2 Plus Auto bed leveling issue

cant perform auto bed leveling after heating bed up to 80. the printer will wait until it hits 50C to resume the auto bed leveling process, so you’ll be stuck waiting for the bed to cool down to 50 and cant back out in the UI.

That sounds really annoying, also bed levels change betwwen 20 and 120c!

yea and since most beds tend straighten out after pre-soaking, performing the auto level after heating it up is essential. it take literally forever for the temps to come down, so for like 20 - 30 mins, you’ll be stuck on the auto level screen.

I did it via fluidd.
Bringing bed and nozzle up to temperature and then calibrated the bed mesh, worked for me.

tried doing it on fluidd twice, and it wonked out after i tried print something. had to pull the plug.

I noticed that too.

For higher temps you can perform the calibration straight in fluidd’s interface though, or just call the bed_mesh routine manually.

If calling it manually, ensure there’s no filament coming from the nozzle, if you try to heat the nozzle too past the regular 140C, it may ooze.

It is very important to do:
G28 Z
Z_TILT_ADJUST
G28 Z
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE PROFILE=someNameForThisCalibration

If you don’t specify a name it will overwrite the default.
You can then have custom gcode to load this mesh when starting.

If you have just turned on the printer, you must also calibrate x and y, so before the first g28 Z you would also do:

G28 X Y

And for the waiting… I just turned the printer off and gave up (=

So the k2 is rootable now ?

From what I understand, differently from the K1 line, K2 has an option to enable root through the printer menu.

I believe all it does is enable the ssh server, everything else is already in place - root/creality_2024
