@fcwilt Perfect. Thank you. Does it matter where in the M558 I put that ?
No just add them to your current M558 command.

Sorry but I cannot tell where they are from that picture - I may be looking right at them and just not seeing them.
So where are the left and right linear guides mounted?
Thanks.

@fcwilt So the left one is in the middle of the bed on the X axis. The 2 on the right are at the corners of the bed frame. The bed frame sits on the attachment to the linear guide mounts

Sorry I was not clear - I meant the Y axis guides - the ones running front to back on each side.

@fcwilt gotcha. The are underneath

@3DPrintingWorld In your bed.g do you have it do multiple probes per point ? If so how do you accomplish that ?
I created a macro that heats the bed, calls out the mesh, homes, does the mesh, saves the mesh, then turns the bed off. I started at 10:10, then S= was my max travel minus 10. Plus you have to add/subtract your probe to nozzle offset.

Great.
Did you print out those "tools" designed to help align the frame pieces?
I didn't have such tools and after seeing my 4 point height map I realized that my left and right Y axis guides were not in the same plane meaning the frame pieces were not in the same plane.
I closely examined the left and right frame pieces where they joined the four vertical pieces at the top and found that they were at slightly different heights, with the left piece being low in the rear and right piece being high in the front.
We are talking fractions of a mm but it was enough to generate a "twisted" height map - though not as bad as yours.
Perhaps you are having the same problem.

Looks like one of your bearings is not attached?
-
@fcwilt Perhaps. I did print the tool but things move so I will recheck them.
Is there a way to add the a and s parameter to your bed.g when doing the leveling so it does multiple probes ? -

M140 S0Why the G29 S3? The G29 S0 creates the height map and loads it.

@3DPrintingWorld I pulled screws out of all of them and started a retighten. Trying to see if something came loose.

Ok, that makes sense.
-
I can but does that affect the bed leveling as well ?

If affects the way the probe works where ever it is used.
Do you wish to have it behave in different ways in different places?
Frederick
-
@fcwilt Not necessarily. I just want it to do multiple probes when it checks bed leveling when I home the printer.

Sorry I should have deleted that, I was making edits to mine before I posted it.

Well the intent of the A and S parameters is to increase the accuracy and repeatability of the probe.
So I have always set them and let them take affect whenever the probe is used.

@fcwilt makes perfect sense. I will set that. Thank You
