What kind of printer is it?
What kind of probe are you using?
Can you post a photo of the printer?
Can you also share your homing macros and bed.g if you use it? -
@phaedrux Thank you for your reply.
The shape is very similar to my Prusa printer, so it is a Cartesian type.

The printer's bed is usually used with a black paper between a glass plate and an aluminium plate.

The sensor used is an IR probe.

@kotuo which axis moves the bed, X or Y? It looks like the saddle-shaped bed mesh is in the Y axis, and your probe offset is set in X, but the probe is mounted in front of the nozzle, so it seems the nozzle and carriage are on the Y axis, and the bed moves in X? Normally bed moves in Y, nozzle moves in X.
The Z probe is mounted in front of the hot end. You have a big fan mounted even further out, and long 8mm(?) linear rods. Your bed mesh is saddle shaped (earlier I thought it looked domed, so assumed you had a delta printer), so my guess is that the offset weight of the hot end and fan is causing significant bending of the linear rods, which the offset probe is moving down then back up as it crosses the X axis. The nozzle won’t be moving in Z as much, but will be moving back and forth, as the carriage rotates around the axis, ie printed walls will not be straight.
The best you can do is mount the probe to the side of the X carriage, in line with the nozzle, not in front. Also try to balance out the carriage by putting weight on the back; perhaps move the fan assembly to the back, if possible. It may also be that one, or both, linear rods are not straight. For long axes you really need something that is straight and cannot be bent easily. Linear rod printers don’t scale up well for this reason.
It could also be the weight of the bed causing the bed linear rods to bend, though it looks like that runs on aluminium extrusion.

@droftarts Thank you for your reply.
In my printer, the X axis is currently the axis that moves the bed.As @droftarts pointed out, there is a possibility that the large FAN attached to the hot end has a negative effect, so I removed the FAN and measured again.
Here is the resulting image.
Here are the results after adjusting the height again.

Do you actually use bed.g? Or call it with G32 at any point?
Can you post your homeall.g and homez.g files?
When the heightmap has such a large offset it's usually because the mesh has been created without the z axis being homed with the probe first.
Your homing files should home the Z axis with the probe using G30 at the center of the bed to set the Z0 location. Then create a fresh height map.

I ran G32 and found that P1 and P4 were not probed as the probes were sticking out of the bed.

Now I understand why the height map was made so low.

Does this mean that I need to do a paper filler test in the centre of the bet and then run 「G92 Z0」 and then 「G29」?

You shouldn't need to set the Z axis 0 manually, as you have a probe to do that, and it looks like when you home Z properly, it works okay. I think the problem is that your homeall.g file is incorrect.
At the moment, your homez.g homes the Z axis in the middle of the bed, with:
G1 X150 Y150 F2000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger heightbut your homeall.g just sets Z=0 at whatever height the Z is at after homing X and Y:
G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)Replace the G92 line in homeall.g with the two lines from homez.g, then a home all should home Z in the middle of the bed. If the nozzle doesn't touch the bed when you move Z to 0, check your probe offset: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_height
Your bed mesh looks better, but now shows that the bed is twisted, or that the bed rails are not level (one side rises compared to the other) or that the nozzle carriage twists around the Y axis as it moves from one side to the other (if your bed still moves in X). If your bed has corner adjusters, you can use the manual bed levelling assistant to tell you how far to adjust the bed: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_the_manual_bed_levelling_assistant
That should get you closer to a flat bed. It's always best to get the bed as mechanically level as possible, so the bed mesh compensation isn't having to work too hard.

@droftarts Sorry for the delay in replying.
Thank you for your reply.
I have reworked the parts you pointed out.I rewrote homeall.g and it looks like this.

The next question is about the probe offset.
This is a CAD simulation of my probe.
You will probably need to enter X+20 or X-20 as the offset for G31.
I have checked the offset and if I move the probe to where the hot end nozzle is marked, then at +20mm the probe will be in the same position as the nozzle.
I set it to X20 on the G31.
However, I don't think that the Y axis offset is moving from the nozzle to either side. In this case, is it correct to set the Y offset to 0?The next question is about Using the Manual Bed Levelling Assistant.
The prerequisite for Using the Manual Bed Levelling Assistant is
｛You need to use the {M671 command to define the X and Y coordinates of the adjusting screw. The M671 command must be specified after the M667 or M669 command in config.g}.
but the adjustment screw on my printer bed is on the inside of the bed.
Is this something I should be concerned about?
Also, there is no M669 in my Config.g. What should I do in this case? -
Is the probe in front or behind the nozzle? To the left or the right?
+X should be to the right, -X to the left, -Y to the front, +Y behind.

That's fine. Just provide the absolute positions of the screws.

+X should be to the right, -X to the left, -Y to the front, +Y behind.
Except @kotuo has the bed moving in X, and the extruder carriage moving in Y, so the sensor behind the nozzle is at, I think, X-20 Y0 when the nozzle is at the origin.
@kotuo said in The height map is not created correctly:

To elaborate on this, M669 sets the printer kinematics. The default is cartesian, which your machine is, so you don’t need M669 explicitly.

@kotuo does this picture show the nozzle at X0 Y0?
If the bed is moving in X, and the extruder carriage in Y, this should be the maximum X point, not minimum.Ian

@droftarts Thank you for your reply.
This picture is taken from the back of the printer.
Y is about -20 places from the maximum
X is about two thirds of the way from the minimum.
In the printer settings, this is the maximum position.
In order to improve the serviceability of the printer, the bed can be moved up to 500mm -
@droftarts Thank you for your reply.
@droftarts said in The height map is not created correctly:

The nozzle is in front of the printer. And the probe is set at 20mm in front from the nozzle.

@phaedrux Thank you for your reply.
I now understand the relationship between X and Y. Thank you. -
