    Is anyone working on adapting Marlin RC8 to the BigBox 1.1 Dual Hybrid configuration?

    I haven't seen any.

    Great! I just got a BLTOUCH and would like to use RC8. Would you mind sharing your modified files?

    Quick question. Can the Z steps be set in the config file. I don't see it in the list.

    Ahhh...If found it. It is the 3rd element in the array under:

    /** Default Axis Steps Per Unit (steps/mm)
    X, Y, Z, E0 [, E1[, E2[, E3]]]
    */

    Silly me I was looking for something starting with "Z" and not "D". Makes sense once you realized is an set of steps for x, y, and z and more.

    When I level the bed in RC8 using the above. As the nozzle goes to the X nearest to zero, my probe is off the bed already so the nozzle will come down to hit the bed What setting do I need to change to set that X to be a higher number and keep my sensor above the bed and not off too far to the right.

    Whatever came out of the box in RC8 in the Pigshag repo.

    These will set up your probing boundaries.


    #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 14 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle]
    #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 32 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle]

    // Set the boundaries for probing (where the probe can reach).
    #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER+2)
    #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (X_MAX_POS-14)
    #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER+2)
    #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION (187)

    Uh-Oh. Will these work for a Dual Titan?

    I am not familiar with the Dual Titan, but I does not look like the values I pasted from the Pipshag repo is for a Dual Titan.

    You need to set up your offsets and then I would start with the below values and modify if you want to go closer to the edges.

    #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER ?? // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle]
    #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER ?? // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle]

    // Set the boundaries for probing (where the probe can reach).
    #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 30
    #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 270
    #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 30
    #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 170

    Note that depending on your offsets, the compile will fail if the entered bed positions can't be reached.

    You need to set
    Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT
    Z_SAFE_HOMING_Y_POINT
    and
    X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER (I think this is in relation to the left nozzle!?)
    Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER

    Values in the link works for me. I have Dual Titan Hybrid.
