@Veti
Thank you for the docs link. I had not read that particular one (at least not in a while).

From what I have read G32 simply calls G29 via the bed.g script. I think running the G29 in my case is identical to running G32 because I have no need to script the deployment of a probe (probe is always deployed).

After reading these two replies and some of the docs linked, I am trying to get my stops set such that my print head is properly centered when homed. Once I do that, I will recalculate the radius value, and try running a mesh bed compensation routine again.

@Danal
Thank you for that. I figure this out just about the time you wrote this. Unfortunately it assumes you have the head perfectly centered which apparently I do not (working on that now). It is also a very difficult measurement to take accurately, and being off by 0.5mm does appear to have a significant effect.

After a bit more experimentation it seems that the radius of the machine also affects the ability to level the bed. Unfortunately I have no idea how to calculate the radius of the machine. Making it smaller (R165 instead of R175) reduced the deviation between the edge and center of the bed by almost 50%.

According to the docs the radius is the horizontal distance between the rod ends when the machine is centered. This is nearly impossible to calculate accurately. Even after adjusting this, the whole bed map is so far from reality as to be ridiculous. This process needs overhauling badly.

I have to ask why the code doesn't simply probe the bed, assume it is level and work backward to calculate likely values for things like this. The machine is quite capable of such a calculation (simply use the average of the probe points for each ring going out from the center).

The problem I am having is that the bed leveling (G29) is saying that there is a 3mm difference between the outside of the bed and the center.

I have been rebuilding a Little Monster Delta printer for the last year (it has been slow going). Almost nothing other than the frame is stock at this point. It has a duet2 ethernet board, NEMA 23 0.9 deg motors (23HM22-2804S) with 40 tooth gears, and an induction sensor mounted for bed leveling, with a new magnetic steel bed both to make printing easier and to make the induction sensor work.

My config is using M665 L397.107 R175.000 H520.000 B165.0 for the printer dimensions, which I fairly certain are correct, and M92 X160 Y160 Z160 E410 for the motor settings which I am also fairly certain are correct. The sensor settings are as follows:
M558 P5 I1 R0.4 H4 F1200 T800
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0
M557 R80 P8

Running G29 demonstrates a 3mm height drop from the center of the bed to the edge in any direction. When I change the height in M665 (increase to H540), and reduce the X/Y/Z in M92 to 156, the printer register a deviation change of roughly 20% (flatter). Using a straight steel ruler and a flashlight I can clearly see that the actual deviation is far less than 1mm (likely in the 0.1 to 0.2mm range). In theory I could fix it by providing incorrect values for the height and travel, but this seems like it would create other problems down the road (such as incorrect layer heights).

I am struggling to figure out what is going on here. Any ideas would be most helpful.
