      i had a tronxy x5sa 400 and board died so i got a duet 2 wifi and am now trying to print and z axis moves up and down while printing but homes and moves properly using interface any help would be much appreciated
      also when i try to use mesh leveling it only goes up to x200 y200 and has 100 points would like to have 16 points if that's possible
      Please find config x y and z home attached

      config

          @xbrmxjamie said in z axis moves up and down while printing:

          G31 P600 X200 Y200 Z-0.55

          The X and Y values in G31 refer to the placement of the z probe relative to the nozzle.

          M558 P0 indicates that there is no probe and to use manual jogging to bring the nozzle to touch the bed, so your X Y and Z values should all be 0 since that's the point where the nozzle is touching the bed.

          You'll have to redo your mesh grid after fixing that.

            finally for a chance to change these settings now i need to sort out mesh levelling currently it only does 200x200 i need 400x400

              I don't see anything in that file that would cause it not to probe the full 400x400, however you are using config-override.g, so please post that file too. Also post your bed.g file if you are using one.

                  If you send M557 with no parameters from the GCode Console, what response do you get?

                      That looks OK. What happens when you send G29? Also, which firmware version are you using? Send M115 to find out.
