Doesn't the LIDAR do bed leveling and flow calculations??? I think it is not just extra weight.... |

Lidar is only used for pressure advance calculation and first layer verification. |

You just need to start print from screen and checking calibration box |

I did some digging and found that you can connect to port 9999 with websocket and trigger print with AI support. Upload the file to printer and then trigger using below command. echo '{"method":"set","params":{"opGcodeFile":"printprt:/usr/data/printer_data/gcodes/filename_to_be_printed.gcode","enableSelfTest":1,"aiPausePrint":1,"aiDetection":1,"aiFirstFloor":1,"aiSw":1}}' | ./websocat.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl ws://printer.ip.address:9999
You should also remove the existing mesh data by using the below command. echo '{"method":"set","params":{"rmProbedMatrix":1}}' | ./websocat.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl ws://192.168.68.107:9999Basically all the aI parameters are just to control the settings which you can also change from screen. Main parameter to trigger print calibration (as per creality print) is "enableSelfTest" set to 1. I wasn't able to find anyway to control the "Motion Advance" option (the parameter name is flowControl). aiFirstFloor = First layer detection Hoping this can be integrated somehow in START_PRINT gccode macro |

Just got this printer and was looking at the use case for the Lidar, from what I gleamed here, I think I will just remove it, as it is extra weight hanging off the tool head and has no practical use, the K1C doesn't need it, and the latest Max is just a big K1C. |

Uh oh!

Is it possible to give a useful function to the Lidar sensor? I feel that on the K1max it is just serving as weight for the print head.
