Z-Sync & Pointer Tronxy X5S with FreeCAD file
It took me a long time to think about the Z-Sync problem and the issue with the first Layer of the printing. There are many solutions proposed like Z-Stop and Z-axis sync belt. Unfortunately each solution has its advantage and disadvantage. The main disadvantage of them are (Z-Stop) accuracy, laborious; (Z-sync Belt) a free running Belt with the challenge of tension it and the force of the belt to the bearings.
My solution should be simple and work. I use a pointer mountable at the clutch of the stepper motor. It can be manually synced to the long M3 screw fixed at the stepper motor.
Some calculations: 1Turn = 8mm height -> 0,1mm = 4,5°
Synchronization with the finger is much better.
Unfortunately I found out that the config file of the tronxy has failures refered to the autoleveling function.
The original configuration has a difference between sensing point and nozzle at about 50-60mm. Autoleveling only works with an even plate :-( .
I described the failure in the Part below also with suggested configfile.gcode uploaded:
TronxyX5SApro Holder Capacitiv Sensor LJC18A3-B-Z/BX to original cover.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4817851
Mounting:
Sync the bed with Z-stop.
go to Home position.
mount the pointer with position to the screw on both sides.
Sync the pointers with fingers.
Run Autolevel function and level the hotbed.
Usage:
Sync the hotbed with the fingers. Be shure bed failure will not exceed the 360°tun of 8mm.
Start auto level or the print.
Additional Parts:
4 M3 x10mm
2 M3 x 30mm or longer
Suggested Autolevel parameter:
Parameters are for 330mmx330mm hotbed.
; The second zeroing speed when Z is zeroing, the speed is slower

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Number of leveling points,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;The first three parameters are automatically leveled
M8036 X-40 Y-12; The first point represents the XY offset of the sensor from the extrusion nozzle,
M8036 X30 Y30; the second point represents the minimum position of the point
M8036 X270 Y300; the third point represents the maximum position of the point
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;The last four are the positions of manual leveling
