Having previously posted config.g files I was vilified for doing things in a very particular way that I do, one bitten twice shy, so I am not willing to share my configuration files at this time sorry.

Ok , after holiday break back to my project.
Small problem and not sure if this is the way it should be.
My home position is at the bottom/left of the build plate( moving bed in Y axis). I am assuming that if I move the bed towards me ( let's say top/left corner) this will mean the bed is moving in -Y and hotend in +Y.
My current config for homey is thisG91 ; relative positioning G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position G90 ; absolute positioning G1 H1 Y415 F1800 ; move quickly to Y axis endstop and stop there (first pass) G91 ; relative positioning P4 P500 ; wait 500ms G1 H2 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm G4 P500 ; wait 500ms G1 H1 Y415 F360 ; move slowly to Y axis endstop once more (second pass) G1 H2 Z-5 F6000 ; lower Z again G90 ; absolute positioningand the motor is M569 P0.1 S1
On DWC Y-10 will move the bed forward ( towards me/ top to bottom) which means hotend is moving Y+10.
Is this the right way to set this?Also my home position is outside the build plate , what's the best way to "tell" the software where the X0Y0 is on the build plate? I think this is called the Z home offset. For me it will be a ZY home offset because of some clips I have on the build plate. I can get a spacer to fix the Z so it will mach the build plate and just modify the Y home offset to avoid the clips.
How you can see on the picture my build plate is a little bigger( blue) then the print area( white) so I assume I need to define the X0Y0 on build plate so the printer will know where the X410Y410 is.
I am asking all this because I also want to learn all the things/logics/settings not just copy/paste some config that will work

You can use a negative value for the M208 minima to tell the firmware that the endstops are beyond the edge of the bed.
So for example if x0,y0 is the front left corner, and the endstops are 20mm beyond that set the M208 minima to -20.

G1 H2 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
Only use H2 for the Z axis in your homing files to allow it to raise and lower without being homed. For the X and Y axis the moves should either be a homing move with H1 or a regular move without any H.

Is this the right way to set this?This sounds backwards.
Rather than thinking of the bed moving, think of the position of the print head on the bed. If the bed is moving back and away from the front, then the print head is moving closer to the front edge of the bed.

This post is deleted! -
@Phaedrux sorted...it was indeed reverted.....now Y+10 is "moving" the nozzle in Y+ and bed in Y- direction and is homing the right way.

Done with basic config and now moving to small tweaks and tunings....I am wondering how much from the start and end g-code I can move to "DWC" and what/how much should stay in slicer? Not sure if there is any benefit on having start and end g-code on DWC. I am using PrusaSlicer and like many other slicer's I can have profile's for each printer I am using. If I match the speeds, accelerations , retractions and all other between firmware and slicer there should be no problem. Plus the start and end g-code in firmware is only to "complement" the slicer.
Can I use M98 P"mymacro.g" in the slicer? -

Yes you can.
There is also a special macro called
start.gthat will execute when a print is started and will run before any of the sliced gcode file. This can be a good place to do machine prep like homing and preheating.Ultimately, how you split it up is entirely up to you and what makes most sense for your workflow.

I am trying to set the Z offset but apparently I have a problem and not sure if it's a mechanic one or I am missing something
Every time I run G30 S-1 in the same spot I get wrong values...always decreasing with 0.005 or something like this...
I am usingG30 ;Manually lower the nozzle close the build plate G92 Z0 G1 Z10 G30 S-1And after each move I get a value with 0.005-0.002 difference

My build plate is crap but until I decide which one to get and replace it I am wondering why the mesh is not applied on the left side.Maybe because the gantry doesn't properly level with the build plate? Or because the probe is at X42 offset and can't get to X0-X5 for probing?
What's the right order for levelling all this?
I am running 4 points G32 without gantry levelling until I get a good level bed and after that I run
G29 X42:400 Y0:400 P5 and M374( map save)
Load map at the start with M375 -

You can try improving the repeatability of the BLTouch by changing your M558 and G31 as follows
M558 P9 C"^io5.in" H5 F60 T6000 R0.2 A10
G31 P25 X41.13 Y2.69 Z1.543See if that helps.

So the new BLT settings didn't help. I am still getting differences at every single probe and maybe once in 7-8 I get twice the same reading.
Maybe this happens because I have flexible couplers on the Z ?
Now I am trying to figure out why my heightmap is always ~1mm up on the heightmap tab.
No matter what I am trying I am always ending with this....what I am missing?
I redid multiple times the z calibration using M561 , G92 Z0 , G30 S-1 and setting the new offset and always I end up with this. Maybe this also affect the mesh compensation?

I had the same heightmap offset problem a couple of days ago. The documentation is a bit ambiguous. I seem to have solved the problem by doing this in the calibration run (I use a macro).
; Heat Bed and Hotend - Home and Calibrate T0 ;make sure the tool is selected G90 ; use absolute coordinates M83 ; extruder relative mode M117 "Setting Calibration Temperatures" <snip> M290 R0 S0 ;remove any babysteps M561 ; reset any bed compensation M117 "Performing Mesh Calibration" G28 ; must be homed first G30 ; Perform a single probe to establish Z=0 (should already be at center because of home) G29 S0 ; perform mesh calibration save and loadI did a reboot at this point but am not sure if it's at all required.
Then this at the start of the print job
T0 ; turn on the tool M561 ; Remove any Bed Compensation G90 ; use absolute coordinates M83 ; extruder relative mode <snip> G28 ; home all G30 ; probe bed just to make sure G29 S1 ; enable mesh leveling <snip>I suspect there may be redundancy in my codes but .....

That's something I was thinking that there is some residue code that can't be seen on files and messing everything. think I will just save the config and make a new sd card and see how the things are working. ...after I will try your code.

Maybe this happens because I have flexible couplers on the Z ?
That could be part of it.

You forgot to change it to G31 P25

This would indicate that you're not setting Z0 correctly before running G29 to create a mesh.
When you're doing G92 Z0 you've moved the nozzle to touch the bed first, right?
The inconsistency could certainly be from movement in the Z axis couplers.

I had the same heightmap offset problem a couple of days ago. The documentation is a bit ambiguous. I seem to have solved the problem by doing this in the calibration run (I use a macro).
; Heat Bed and Hotend - Home and Calibrate T0 ;make sure the tool is selected G90 ; use absolute coordinates M83 ; extruder relative mode M117 "Setting Calibration Temperatures" <snip> M290 R0 S0 ;remove any babysteps M561 ; reset any bed compensation M117 "Performing Mesh Calibration" G28 ; must be homed first G30 ; Perform a single probe to establish Z=0 (should already be at center because of home) G29 S0 ; perform mesh calibration save and load@stuartofmt this also worked for me..at least visual is now back in the right place...I will run a print and see how it goes. And now I have the home point at Z0.0

I am following the guide on dozuki
Cancel any currently active mesh compensation with M561 Use the X and Y jog buttons to position the nozzle over the centre of the bed Jog the nozzle down until it is just touching the bed or just gripping a sheet of paper. If the firmware doesn't let you jog it down far enough, send M564 S0 to disable axis limits. Once you have the nozzle touching the bed, send command G92 Z0 to tell the firmware that the head is at Z=0 Jog the head up by 5 to 10mm Send command G30 S-1. The nozzle will descend or the bed rise until the probe triggers and the Z height at which the probe stopped will be reported. If you are using a nozzle-contact Z probe, the trigger height will be slightly negative. For any other type of Z probe where the probe triggers before the nozzle contacts the bed, it will be positive. Repeat from step 5 two or three times to make sure that the trigger height is consistent. In Duet Web Control, go to Settings -> System Editor and edit the config.g file. Set the Z parameter in the G31 command to the trigger height that was reported. Save the file. Open config-override.g and check that there are no G31 commands in it. If you find any, delete those lines and save the file. To apply the new trigger height, restart the Duet by sending M999 or pressing Emergency Stop.The only difference is that I point the probe to the middle of the bed not the nozzle.

Probe pin to centre of the bed
Lower nozzle to touch the bed( paper method)

G28 ; must be homed first G30 ; Perform a single probe to establish Z=0 (should already be at center because of home)
This is a pretty ambiguous combination because we can't see what the homeall is doing to home the Z axis, and we have no idea what XY location the G30 is being done in.
The important thing to remember is that the Z0 position is set in the same XY position whenever you set it. Your homeall, homez, and any other time you use G30 must be in the same position before and after G29 is used to create or load the height map. This is because the shape of the bed may give you a different z height depending on the XY location.

In my case homeall.g looks like this (homez sets to the same position) ... But I think you also answered one of the ambiguities in the documentation i.e. what coordinate (XY) is the bed height relative to. Seems the answer is "Wherever you set your Z-home"? EDIT: which needs be the same as your Z=0 datum.?
G91 ; relative mode G0 H2 Z10 F200 ; raise head above Z probe trigger height G0 H1 X-240 Y-240 F3000 ; move up to 240mm in the -X and -Y directions until the homing switches are triggered G0 H2 X5 Y5 F600; move slowly 5mm in +X and +Y directions G0 H1 X-10 Y-10 ; move up to 10mm in the -X and -Y directions until the homing switches are triggered G90 ; back to absolute mode G1 X110 Y110 F2000 ; put head over the center of the bed, or wherever you want to probe G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger height
