      I want to manually mesh level my bed ignoring my z probe cuz its a piece of junk.

      How can i do this? I dont have leveling screws so I can't use the assistant.

        Set the Z probe type to 0 via M558, probe the bed, and restore the prior Z probe configuration. To dio this, change your bed.g to something like

        M558 P0 ; turn off Z probe
        G29 S0 ; probe the bed
        M558 P1 ; provided P1 is in your config.g too
        

        Make sure to put a M557 code with the correct mesh size in config.g before you run G32 / True Bed Levelling.

          @chrishamm great i will try this, i didnt think to do that because the probe info is located in the config, and it has to be reloaded everytime i change something!

          Ill try in the am!

            Hi,

            I have a file called configprobe.g that, as you might expect, configures my Z probe.

            I call this file using M98 as needed.

            Having a file like this means it can be called from another .g file, or a macro, etc.

              @chrishamm just added to my bed.g file it brings up the adjustment screen but lets say i adjust the nozzle down 5mm the button just sits there and hangs, and will not let me go any lower, actually any button i press it does the same thing, just hangs.

                May I ask what firmware and DWC version you're using?

                    Duet Web Control 2.0.0-RC3

                    I suggest you update to at least DWC 2.0.7 for fw 2.05.1

                    Your wifi server is out of date as well by the way.

                      that totally fixed it.

                      the manual level fixed all the issues... now to get to perfecting my first layer again!

                      instead of the bed being off by a whopping 1.5m its only a 0.250 deviation off of a 0.2 thickness feeler!

                      loving it!

                      how do i mark as solved?
