      I'm suspecting something scrozzled the firmware. Will try re-flashing new firmware tonight to see if that fixes it.

        Reflashing firmware did not fix the problem, unfortunately.

          Can you post a video of it in action?

                Flashed firmware up to 2.03RC1, G29 still exhibits the same behavior. Here are the homing files as requested:

                  you move your bed up by 250mm? why

                  ;G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

                  you disabled your probing of the bed. so no wonder the probe is not deploying.

                    Thanks for the response.

                    Original Ultimaker 2+ (UM2+) behavior (no BLTouch) has the bed "zero" to the bottom of the case before printing and after print is completed. Moving it 250 sends down it to where it will trip the Z endstop at the bottom of the cage.

                    ;G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

                    you disabled your probing of the bed. so no wonder the probe is not deploying.

                    The problem described in the original post occurs when issuing a G29 command from the web interface. I was not aware these homing scripts get called by the G29 command.

                    I commented out that G30 because I do not want "homing" behavior to include probing the bed. I have that done in the startup script in the GCODE of the file being printed, e.g.:

                    G28 XY ;Home XY
                    M561 ; Clear any bed transform that might be in place
                    G1 X104.5 Y130 ; Move Probe to middle of bed
                    G30 ; Do a single probe
                    G29 S1; load heightmap
                    G1 Z20.0 F6000 ; Move Z to 20

                      So before you run G29 it needs to accurately know where Z0 is. If you are homing to Zmax, how confident are you that When you move the bed back up Z0 will mean the nozzle is touching the bed? Are you running a G30 before doing G29?

                        Bingo. That fixed it.
                        Thanks for the help. Got a new heightmap generated and printing away.
