@fcwilt looks like you solved it!
Reduced print temp down to 195 and just had a fantastic print. Retried the fast print and the result was just as good. The ramps board must have been giving false temperature readings as it needed 215 to print PLA.
Thank you so much for everyones help and assistance

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@fcwilt using those positions gives me a large level area covering roughly 3/5ths of the glass and is big enough for 99% of what I print. This means I don't have to run a mesh levelling routine to compensate for any uneveness.
If I level at the extremes then only the outer front and rear edges are printable and the centre section is too high and I'd have to use mesh compensation all the time when I just want to use it for very occasional prints -

@fcwilt I'm using the filament I was using before installing the duet

@Phaedrux @fcwilt thank you for your assistance, with your help i've managed to setup the printer with manual bed levelling and no sensor, tested it, tweaked and its now good to go

@fcwilt double checked that, 100mm is extruded

RE: Duet 2 inconsistent extrusions at slow speeds
i also changed to "relative extrusion distances" in simplify3d for the Duet, never needed that for the wanhao i3

RE: Issue with Filament sensor on boot up after upgrade to 3.4.6
@OwenD Thankyou
Between the link you sent and this post i think i have it now.

RE: Issue with Filament sensor on boot up after upgrade to 3.4.6
Found out that when I'm printing, if i pull out the filament sensor wires I get the "Filament error on extruder 0: no Filament" message but the printer doesn't pause as it did in previous releases. If i then reattach the wires to the sensor that's when the printer pauses the print and asks to be resumed.
Is this a bug or have i missed something with the latest release? -
Issue with Filament sensor on boot up after upgrade to 3.4.6
I have just upgraded my Duet2 Wifi firmware from 3.1.1 to 3.4.6.
I upgraded to 3.2, then 3.3 with no issues, but when i upgraded to 3.4.6 i get the following message each time i reboot the printer.
"Filament error on extruder 0: no Filament"
The sensor was working earlier today when i printed using firmware 3.1.1 & i didnt get the error message when i upgraded to 3.2 & 3.3.
The printer still prints and the filament sensor works as it should after the error message, is there a setting i need to change to stop the error message on booting the printer? -

@fcwilt That's perfect thankyou again

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@Phaedrux @fcwilt I used Mesh Bed Compensation for the first time and it worked perfectly. What id like to know is now that I've switched the printer off, when i turn it back on is the MBC still on or do i have activate it with G29 S1.
Is there a way to see if the MBC is active or inactive on the paneldue or web interface?Thanks

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@fcwilt Just created a second one to level the entire bed, then ill follow that up with Mesh Bed Compensation. That's going to be another head scratcher LOL

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@fcwilt Thought about it but only need it for prints that take up the entire bed which for me is rare, and it'll add extra weight the carriage.
Came across a post by @Phaedrux who did something very close to what i want to do so I've altered it to this

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@fcwilt No I haven't read up on those
I have the code ready and will try it tomorrow morning but worried I'm going to damage my printer if i mess this code up or it doesn't do what I think it'll do
How i want it to operate is run G32,
the print head will move to P0 and the bed will hit the mechanical end stop and stop at "0"
then i adjust the screw on the bed corner to allow a sheet of paper to just pass between the bed and the nozzle, then tell the printer to move to the next point and so on till all four corners are levelIs this what will happen with this code?

RE: Manual Bed Levelling & Mesh Levelling on a corexy printer?
@fcwilt Just a thought, could I set the following as a macro and use it for regular sized prints that don't need mesh bed compensation
; macro to perform manual bed levelling assistance
;
; G29 ; probe the bed and enable compensation; Preheat PLA
M140 S60;
M104 S180 T0;
M561 ; clear any bed transform
G28 ; home
; M401 ; deploy Z probe (disabled)
G30 P0 X87 Y314 Z-99999 ; probe near an adjusting screw RL
G30 P1 X293 Y314 Z-99999 ; probe near an adjusting screw RR
G30 P2 X293 Y110 Z-99999 ; probe near an adjusting screw FR
G30 P3 X87 Y110 Z-99999 S4 ; probe near an adjusting screw FL and report adjustments needed
; M402 ; retract probe (disabled)Then have my bed.g file, that i'd activate with G32, with a different set of probe co-ordinates closer to the edge, and then follow that up with mesh bed compensation?
