Mesh Compensation not working (left side higher than right)
-
Here is my heightmap.
When I try and do a print with Mesh compensation enabled or not the left side is always higher than the right. I know that it is trying as I have seen the motors move, but it doesn't seem like it has any noticeable affect.
Here is my Config.g

A couple things to check.
Make sure your axis directions are correct.
-X should move left, +X should move right
-Y should move to the front of the bed, +Y to the back.Double check your probe offsets keeping those directions in mind. Your current offset says the probe is 2mm to the left of the nozzle and 38mm in front of it. Is that right?
Also check the probe trigger height using G30 S-1 at different points on the bed. Ideally it should be consistently the same everywhere on the bed. See if you notice it changing at different points. This could explain incorrect positioning.
If those are all correct, please do a first layer test print once with the mesh enabled and once with it disabled using a test file like this.

@thepfeiffenator said in Mesh Compensation not working (left side higher than right):
bed compensation in use: none
Your M122 shows that the mesh isn't enabled, but based on your gcode it would only be enabled at the start of the print, which is fine. But you can send M122 during a print to make sure it shows "bed compensation in use: mesh"

So I probed in 5 points around the bed via G30 S-1.
Center: Stopped at height 1.253 mm
Rear Left: Stopped at height 1.072 mm
Rear Right: Stopped at height 0.885 mm
Front Right: Stopped at height 1.138 mm
Front Left: Stopped at height 1.065 mm
So they are definitely different. I use a BL Touch, do you think I have a defective one? Or do you know what might cause my deviations?
-
@phaedrux So I did some more investigating and found that my bed is level to my x axis, but here is my new height map, which causes it to compensate incorrectly by moving the bed up when it is in fact level on either side.

Are you thinking they should all be similar? They would only be similar if all the points you probed were at the same Z height.

Perhaps I should have been more specific on the use of G30 S-1.
You should use this method as described for setting the offset in G31.
Resetting Z0 using G92 Z0 at each location you wish to test at before sending G30 S-1
-
@phaedrux Oh yeah, the trigger height is correct in the center of the bed, but on the sides it is not.
-
There could be something out of square with the frame, or the printhead is tilting a bit.
If you do that G92 Z0 G30 S-1 test in a row along the bed moving towards where it gets out does it slowly increase as it goes?
