      My problem is that after get a height map from G29 the map does nothing to compensate when printing, Z does not moove in -Z only in Z+.

        This is why

        OK - so the bed was just touching the nozzle at that point when you set Z=0?

          Well how it should move would depend on the height map values and the height map value nearest to where the Z=0 Datum was set.

          If the Z=0 Datum happened to be set equal to the lowest point of the mesh then movement would only be in Z+, as all of the other points, being higher, would need to be lowered.

                  I assume you have verified that the Z axis moves in the correct direction when controlled from the DWC?

                  P.S. Just out of curiosity what is the bed made from? It seems to have quite a bit of curve.

                  Here is the height map from one of my better printers. I had the bed created by a local machinist and it is very flat. Even came with a certificate.

                      And yes, Z mooves corectly.
                      Only problem i have is the mesh bed compensation does absolutely nothing.
                      And i might have a solution for the bed being a dish, ill just drill and tap some holes in the bed subplate 6mm 7068 aluminium plate and use some extra bolts with rubber tips to push out the bow.

                        @Snippy so you are homing the bed at the one of the high corners eg X0 Y0? Generally you should home Z at either the ‘most used’ point (usually the bed centre) or the lowest point (in your case also the bed centre), and the mesh is better positive, because negative moves are limited, because the nozzle won’t move below Z0 (unless your M208 allows it, or you have sent the Gcode to allow moves outside the machine limits). ie if your printing at 0.1mm layer height, and your mesh needs -1mm of movement, it’s only going to move -0.1mm.

                            @Snippy said in Z wont go to the corect dept when printing.:

                            M208 X0:400 Y0:400 Z0:220 ; set minimum and maximum axis limits

                            This, combined with what @droftarts is saying about where you're setting your Z datum , is why you're not seeing compensation occur in the negative Z direction. You could allow for negative moves in the Z direction, such as M208 Z-5:220 and/or adjust where you're setting the Z datum3f8f64bd-77ad-4e9f-a9e8-58f4961ba97f-image.png

                            For a 410mmx410mm bed, a thickness of 3mm without supporting the underside will result in poor dimension accuracy for your parts, as the bed will naturally sag in the middle. 1.6mm is substantial. I would recommend a thicker bed in the range of 10mm to 12mm, or some adjustable screws to help support the center of the bed.

                              Purple stuff is the added leveling for the sub bed, tap to M4 and using bolts with rubber tips to push the bed.
                              This enought for leveling, or should i tap a 20x20 grid on the whole surface?

                                @Snippy 20x20 grid is likely overkill. Based on the 3mm thickness, you could probably do some calculations (or find a calculator) to derive a linear spacing of supports driven by what you would consider a reasonable bed deflection value - could start with .1mm. Unfortunately 3mm is really, really thin, especially at that size.

                                Is your bed heater a silicone type?

                                Depending on what type of rubber tips you have in mind, I'd be concerned about their temperature rating, plus potential long term wear on the underside of the bed. What would be better is having a thicker sheet sandwiched below the bed heater. Not the best idea (or best sketch) buy maybe can mitigate the sagging bed.

                                    Silicone tip would be better ofc, that bed wont go over 130 °C at 24v, The heating element is glued to the underside of the bed.
