@fcwilt or the kinematic mount positions
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?

G1 X0 Y0 F6000 ; go to first probe point
G30 ; use probe to find Z 0The position of the probe for the G30 should match between homez and homeall (and any other place you are setting Z0)
-
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.

I have changed the M671 leadscrew Positions from where the leadscrews are to the pivot points under the bed as in @CaLviNx config.g example.
The bed leveling now seems more consistant,

Your bed seems level but has a Z offset.

@dc42 - is that the correct way to set M671 for printers with kinematic mounts?
Thanks.

Sigh, this is yet another reason I add a disclaimer....

@fcwilt I would've thought gloomyandys answer was sufficient

Why?
dc42 did the code - who knows if these special cases were taken into account or if it even matters.
Even though I have kinetic mounts specifying the position of the leadscrews works fine.

It's an approximation of location at any rate, since you're trying to approach zero, the farther off your estimate is, the longer it takes to reach. It says the position of lead screws, but that's just an assumption that most people will have printers with lead screws and won't have specifically designed pivot points, in which case, the lead screw is the natural pivot point. So technically, M671 is defining the pivot point, but in practice that's most commonly going to be a lead screw, and even more practically, it doesn't matter so much as long as you're "pretty close".

Thanks for the feedback. It is consistent with my experiences.
