      In the meantime I fear that is related to the fact, that the sensor do not give reproducable results for my glass bed :(.

      What I have done to come to this conclusion: With help of a piece of paper I measured manually 9 points in a 200 x 200 mm square. Afterwards I defined the same square and the 3x3 matrix with M557. The result was frightening: Even for the point where homing was made before a height of 0.3 mm is measured and the other results do not really fit to my manual measured results.

      So - do you think I would get better results wit the new BL touch? I read something about an ultrasonic sensor but didn't see any sensor like this. Any other suggestions?

      Best regards
      Holger

        Is your glass bed backed by a black surface as the fitting instructions require?

          No because there is written:

          works as-is if placed directly on a PCB bed heater or other surface that does not reflect strongly.

          and it ist directly placed on a PCB bed heater…

              No - there is a printing on it, but I checked already whether there is a difference or not - it does not matter. The lack of accuracy is all over the area

                      Try putting black paper between the bed heater and the glass.
