First Layer
-
Hi,
I've shifted over from einsyrambo, and like my previous experiences with the duet it is awsome. However for the life of me the first layer seams the same issue as before it appears slanted on the bed as shown in the pictures below
Please Help, This is the same issue as with the pervious time.

How are you leveling the bed?
If it's an i3 style X gantry how are you leveling each side of it?
Are you using mesh compensation? -
It looks to me like a classic case of dual Z motors being out of sync. Does the printer have dual Z motors?

Not to worry I think I've resolved the issue.
GUIDE & TIPS
-Ensure that axis minima on the Z axis is set up as a negative value especially for prusa style printers, as to avoid any premature errors
-Probe at intended heat and save height map.
-Reload the heightmap through G29 S1 after probing G32 in GCODE of all prints
-Run G29 every other day with a spacing range of 10-20.
-Include G29 S1 in the bed.g,
-reestablish the z=0 datum by using G30 F300For any one looking out for config to work backwards from, DO NOT UPLOAD AND USE, use only for reference purposes.

I find it strange that your trigger height is negative. That would imply that your nozzle is below the bed surface when the probe triggers.

@Phaedrux if I was to set to positive it drags through the PEI, this just gives me a chance to baby step on each print, this still being tweaked but the main thing for me is it not dragging through the sheet

So I've done further tweaking, and i might be onto something...
I ran M48.g as describe by this post: M48M292
G32 bed probe heights: -0.024 -0.013 -0.021 -0.012 -0.025 -0.020 -0.025 -0.030 -0.022 -0.041, mean -0.023, deviation from mean 0.008Before I did this i was tweaking my bed according to the heightmap.csv
01:25:46
G29 S0
9 points probed, min error -0.048, max error 0.136, mean 0.029, deviation 0.054
Height map saved to file heightmap.csv This was done when heated at PLA TempsIts looks like the following:
