Hello everyone,
at the moment I am looking for a solution to have automated edge finding with a touch plate like in estlcam, but with fusion 360 and repetier host. I know it is easy to set your z height with a script in repetier host but is there a similar solution to also have the x and y axis zeroed and knowing if a workpiece is a few degrees off axis, so it can automatically correct itself like in estlcam?
The Marlin firmware doesn’t support this, AFAIK.
You might be able to configure it to probe with G38 on the X and Y, but not adjust for skew of the workpiece (It wouldn’t probe twice on X and adjust the skew).
There have been some topics on this in the past. Searching for probing and G38 might help. They might have better details and conclusions. But that was my impression.
Of course, Marlin is open source, so you could add whatever you wanted, but I think it is a heavy ask. There is some skew compensation available, but I don’t know if it can be changed on the fly like that.
Probing in X and Y is possible with G38.2 but for skew correction (or hole finding, etc.) you would need something outside of Marlin. Like an Octoprint plugin for example, if one existed.
Sounds like Jaime is volunteering to do another plug-in. 
I appreciate your help but I wont get into marlin plugins. I just thought it would be great if there is a lesser known way of automated edge finding in marlin which is similar to estlcam.
