Bed Self Leveling - bed.g to call M561 or not?

Mirage

Good day all!

I am building a CoreXY printer using a three independent Z motors to achieve auto leveling (self leveling) of the bed.
I am running a DuetWifi and a Duex5.

Here are my config.g related lines

; Drives Identification and rotation direction
M569 P0 S0                                           ; Drive 0 Left Motor goes forwards
M569 P1 S0                                           ; Drive 1 Right Motor goes forwards
M569 P3 S1                                           ; Drive 3 Extruder motor goes backwards
M569 P5 S0					     ; Drive 5 Zleft motor goes forward
M569 P6 S0					     ; Drive 6 Zrear motor goes forward
M569 P7 S0					     ; Drive 7 Zright motor goes forward

; Self Leveling configuration: (Needs to be posted before M350 microstepping)
; -Drive Selection 
; -Leadscrews position
M584 X0 Y1 Z5:6:7 E3 				     ; Three Z motors connected to driver outputs 5, 6 and 7
M671 X-25:160:355 Y-5:352:-5 S10	    	     ; leadscrews at front left, rear middle and front right

and here is my entire bed.g

Everything seams to be working fine as seen in this video:

Question #1

As mentionned in the documentation, the bed.g should look like the uncommented portion of my here above code. I understand why the mecanical probe portion is disabled since i am using a BLtouch, but:

Should I keep the M561 active to clear any bed transformation before probing my points?

Thank you for your support!

I'm not sure it will matter since the act of doing the bed leveling will be replacing whatever transform is already present. But it wouldn't hurt to clear it first.

You should always use either M561 or G29 S2 (they are equivalent) at or near the start of bed.g.

If not using a bltouch and you are using a probe that needs to be deployed, you can use M401 before the group of G30 moves and M402 after it. That will deploy and retract the probe just once for the whole group, instead of once per probe point.

Thank you! I'll be placing a M561 at the beginning of my bed.g file
