You need to make sure everything is in the same order.
So the mapping for the z axis should be front left, front right, rear.
M671 should also be in that order.
Finally, your probe points should also be in the same order.
You can change the order but it should be the same in all places. -

M671 X170:-180:-190 Y30:-170:-190 S20 ;
Your bed.g file is probing these same locations.
How can that be?
Normally your leadscrews would be outside the bed min/max values and the probing inside the min/max values.

@fcwilt Depending on how the bed is supported probing at the same locations as specified by M671 may be correct. M671 is really specifying the positions of the pivots used to support the bed. On some beds this will be the position of the leadscrew, but on others (particularly ones using a kinematic mount) it may actually be a point under/within the bed. So for instance in my case I have bed supports arms that run (on a linear rail) from the leadscrews to a pivot point that is inside/under the bed. The support arm is in effect rigidly attached to the frame/leadscrew and the bed pivots around the other end of the support arm where it meets the bed. On many printers the mount point to the bed is rigid and the bed in effect pivots at the leadscrew.
The G32 process basically fits a plane to a set of probed points to obtain the current plane of the bed and then attempts to adjust the height of the pivot points so that the resultant adjusted plane is level.

@Phaedrux Yes i realized what i had done late as i posted it and removed the H2 on the G1 move you will have to bear with me this is my first attempt @ setting up a 3D printer.
@jay_s_uk
Yes everything is in the correct order triple checked this including M671 and probe points.@fcwilt you are correct the lead screw points are outside the bed area however the probe points are the position where the bed mount attaches to the bed unless you know of a way to put an offset in for the actual positions ?
@gloomyandy your description fits my bed setup.
@CaLviNx just reading through your config should the M671 command come after M584 not before ?

How is it possible to probe at the lead screw locations? How can the probe get to those location without colliding with the lead screws?
The M671 values should be the actual XY position of each leadscrew while the G30 XY positions should be somewhere on the bed.

@fcwilt or the kinematic mount positions

@jay_s_uk said in Triple Z Axis G32 Bed Traming:

That's a more accurate explanation
@fcwilt some printers the lead screws only job is to move the axis, and they can also have pivots used to eliminate over constraining that axis
-
@fcwilt I understand what you mean, i had taken it as the M671 command needed to match the commands in the bed.g
ie the probe points but i have now updated the potions to match the actual lead screw position leveling seem to work better now but i need to run the leveling process twice as the first run did not adjust the offset correctly.output from the console.

That was not the point I was trying to make.
My question dealt with how it was possible to probe the lead screw position (or the mount position).
And as we now see the OP misunderstood what the parameters to M671 should have been.

On my printer two runs are always enough to get it spot on.
Does a single G30 to set the Z=0 datum work as expected? If you move to Z=0 is the nozzle touching (or nearly so) the bed?

Doing a single G30 probes the bed @X0, Y0(Bed center), Doing a G1 Z0 the nozzle moves so its touching the bed.

@Phaedrux I see i had not set the probe offset, however the bed is still not tramming correctly any other thoughts ?

Thanks.
Seems like your Z probe is configured and working correctly.
Perhaps the following may help:
I don't do multiple passes in my bed.g - just one. And I also end the bed.g processing with setting the Z=0 datum at the center of the bed.
I obtain multiple passes by ending my homez.g file with two G32 commands.
