      Does anyone know why my BL Touch is not able to probe the end of the bed? I will attach photos of where it stops.

      Thank you in advance!

        share your config.g as well please, and mesh.g/bed.g if you have them. The meshing procedure will skip points that would move the print head beyond axis limits taking X/Y offsets of the probe into account. So you likely don't have the axis length to go to the points you want to or the offset is too large to reach them (whether the offset is configured correctly is another side quest).

            It is exactly as Oliof says, your axis limits, probe offset, and mesh size mean that you cannot reach where you're asking it to reach.

            M208 X230 Y230
            G31 P500 X-40 Y-12 Z1.60
            M557 X5:210 Y5:230 S68

            Reduce your M557 range and it will stop complaining about not being able to reach the edges.

              @Phaedrux So I lowered my x to 205 and it is no longer giving me an error, but it isn't going all the way to the end of the bed? There is plenty of room, but it just keeps stopping short. Do I need to change a different value?

                Can your probe actually physically reach those positions?
                Is your probe offset correct?
                Perhaps you have an incorrect value for the actual length of the axis?
                Or your 0,0 position isn't at the right spot?

                  @Phaedrux Is there a line of code that creates a boundary as a safegard? Maybe I have to increase it? It seems something else is preventing it from going all the way.

                    M208 defines the length of the axis.

                    Your 0,0 point should be the front left corner of the bed where the nozzle can actually print. The M208 maximum is the farthest point from 0,0 that the axis can safely move the nozzle tip.

                    According to your config,g your endstops are on the low end of travel, so they should be on the left and front side of the plate.
                    -x moves should move to the left, +x to the right
                    -y moves should move to the front, +y to the back

                    If this is not the case, you need to sort that out first as that may be the root of the problem.

                    If this is accurate for your setup, and you want to measure the M208 min and max accurately, try this:

                    Send M564 H0 S0 to allow you to move the print head anywhere ignoring any limits. Be careful now as you can crash your print head.

                    Jog your nozzle to where you want 0,0 to be.
                    Send G92 X0 Y0 to set that point as 0,0
                    Send G1 H3 X-50 F300 to set the endstop trigger point as the m208 x axis minimum
                    Send G1 H3 Y-50 F300 to set the Y minimum

                    Now you can jog your print head to the maximum side of each axis until the nozzle is at the farthest usable point. Make note of the X and Y position.

                    Send M208 X### where ### is the position you noted for X
                    Do the same for Y with M208 Y###

                    Now send M208 by itself and the firmware will report the actual minimum and maximum positions of your bed size. Compare that to what you have in your config,g for M208.

                    ; Axis Limits
                    M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1                               ; set axis minima
                    M208 X230 Y230 Z250 S0                         ; set axis maxima
                    

                    How does it compare?
