@fcwilt Thank you. Here's my configs again if you want to look at them. I'm working on sensor less homing and setting my Bltouch height from the bed next. It will probably be awhile before you hear from me again as I have to wait for some parts to proceed. I'm sure you won't mind the peace. I appreciate everything.

You have a G29 which some folks do include but bed.g is really meant to handle bed leveling. G29 is related to Mesh Bed Compensation - something else entirely.
G30 executes bed.g and should level the bed.
G29 executes mesh.g, if found, and it should create the height map needed for Mesh Bed Compensation.
And creating the height map should only happen after leveling the bed. Also prior to creating or loading a height map you need to set the Z=0 Datum using a single G30 at your chosen reference point. Many folks use the first point of the height map mesh, some folks (like me) use the center of the bed.
As I mentioned I like to keep related things together so my mesh.g file has only the commands needed to create the height map.

@fcwilt I'm sorry I didn't realize that. I also realized for some reason I had 155 stuck in my head for Y center, when it was x center. I changed it to 185. I didn't have a mesh.g so I created one and added the G29 there. All the commands were added by the auto config. It was far as I had gotten before I started changing it with you.

Well you cannot put G29 in mesh.g because G29 executes mesh.g - so it will likely just go round and round.
You need to do something like this
G1 Xaaa Ybbb ; where aaa and bbb are for the point you have chosen for the Z=0 Datum reference point G30 ; this probes the bed and sets the Z=0 Datum M557 Xaaa:bbb Yccc:ddd Pe:f ; this sets the grid that is probed to create the height map - you need to chose values for aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,e and f G29 S0 ; this creates the height map - notice the S0 -
@fcwilt Thank you again. I'm clearly over my head here. I thought I had a handle on this before I started. Unfortunately I have a lot of money plus time into this project, so I can't walk away from it. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I'm 45 and just started using 3d printers a little over a year ago. I don't have any background whatsoever in CNC, CAD, or 3D printing (maybe a tiny bit in general electronic/soldering). Anyhow, I'll try to implement your advise when the new parts come in. I'm waiting on a build plate and have yet to setup/order a custom heater. I appreciate your help, patience and time. Hopefully I can make some progress on my own when I get the new parts. I'm not feeling real confident at the moment.

It's really not so bad. You can get as fancy or simple as you like. And once it's setup, the hard part is done.
45 isn't old. You're probably half the age of some of the people here.
Read lots. Sleep on it. Try and implement it. Ask questions. We will get you there eventually.

I started working with 3D printing in my late 60s, I just turned 72.
Feel free to ask whatever questions you have. Someone here is likely to answer them. I check in here most every day but I don't spend too much time here, lots of other things I need to do.

@fcwilt Thank you you I appreciate it. Unfortunately I do have to wait for parts. I don't think there's a lot more I can do until I have them. At least none I can think of that makes sense without the build plate or heater.

Well there are things about GCode you can learn, such as there being a short form for M208
M280 Xmin:max Ymin:max Zmin:max
All on one line instead of two.
What hardware are you using? Your config.g file mentions a Duet 3 Mini but the M584 line suggests you have an external device on the CAN bus.

@fcwilt I have the tool board with the BLTOUCH, Lgx, mosquito magnum, part fan, cooling fan, thermistor and heater setup and working.I designed the carriage and the mount. The duct was designed by someone on Thingiverse, * just modified my carriage to work with it.
-
Is the Z-probe as close to the nozzle as you could get it?
That is a long ways away.

@fcwilt I'm sure someone more experienced than me could have done a better job. Like I said I don't have any background in Cad and only starting using it less than a month ago.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself re-designing parts of your printer. I have one printer that is so different now from it's first version there is very little left of the first one.
I recently converted a printer using stall detection for homing to using actual endstop sensors. It took me several tries to get it done to my satisfaction.
For me that's part of the enjoyment. Learning from experience and striving for improvements.
Frederick
-
@fcwilt Yeah I plan to take another look at it at some point. It took me quite awhile to get that far. I figured when I was actually able to print I'd have to revise it. All I have at the moment is a resin printer. I don't trust it to last long.

You are a brave pioneer. I watched a few videos regards resin printers. That was enough to keep me far away from the complexity of the entire process.
The results can be impressive and well suited to certain projects.

Printers: a small Utilmaker style, a small CoreXY and a E3D MS/TC setup. Various hotends. Using Duet 3 hardware running 3.4.6
-
@fcwilt Well it looks like it will be a month or so before the parts are shipped. I started this project over a year ago, another month or so isn't too bad, I guess.
-
@fcwilt It's been a long time since I was last in contact with you. I had ordered some CNC parts and they were supposed to take a month or so. Flash forward to today and I might receive them Wednesday. Since then I have changed my mind on the hotend mount I had designed as the Hero Me designer came out with a mount specifically for my setup. I am unable to print with the materials that I need so I'll have to order those as well. I just wanted to touch base. Hopefully I can have all the electrical and mechanical parts setup in the near future. I could still use your help with the software when the time comes, if you're available your help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
