@droftarts Hi after rewiring the probe and ensuring the cables werent dragging on the bed, I think it was a connection issue. Now seems to have no more issues with the probing. Thank you all for your help! Was pulling my hair out trying to solve it over the last few days

@droftarts Will check on the wiring and try again, one thing i noticed is that I had better luck with a lower dive height like the default 5mm. Kinda seems like there are more false triggers with the 25mm I tried, which shouldn't be the case?

will look into the lower feed rate and report back thanks!

After seeing the probe tended to "bounce" on the fast probe I edited my config z probe from

M558 P5 C"zstop" H25 F2000:500 T9000 A2 

to

M558 P5 C"zstop" H25 F1000 T9000 A2 

Seems to have solved the deviation issue:
G32 bed probe heights: -0.205 -0.204 -0.200 -0.204 -0.204, mean -0.203, deviation from mean 0.002

but when I tried the bed mesh again it generated this:

Thanks for the help so far!

@droftarts

yup, here is the heightmap csv generated:

redid the deviation on the first probe coordinate, which was one of the problematic ones, here are the numbers:
Try 1: G32 bed probe heights: 23.983 11.688 3.748 -0.091 -0.109, mean 7.844, deviation from mean 9.146
Try 2: G32 bed probe heights: 18.055 13.678 -0.088 -0.091 -0.096, mean 6.291, deviation from mean 7.939
Try 3: G32 bed probe heights: 9.372 -0.088 -0.088 -0.088 -0.088, mean 1.804, deviation from mean 3.784
Try 4: G32 bed probe heights: 20.939 -0.081 -0.083 -0.088 -0.091, mean 4.119, deviation from mean 8.410

@droftarts Hi, thanks for replying, I actually used your script to test that before, here are my results i just tested. G32 bed probe heights: 0.063 0.070 0.077 0.077 0.077, mean 0.072, deviation from mean 0.005. So I don't think the bed probe repeatability is an issue. As for the h value, yup it is h25, the code I included above was from the Gcode dictionary.

@Phaedrux Hi managed to solve the Homing issue, but the G29 is still giving me issues.

Here is a video link on what I mean by this, I have some timestamps in the description to skip to the weird probes: https://youtu.be/9va5Om2mgAY

I took your advise and realised I needed to edit my config.g to something like in the G code dictionary's M558 entry:

M574 Z0 P"nil" ; (RRF 3.0 on Duet 2 ONLY) no Z endstop switch, free up Z endstop input
M558 P5 C"zstop" H5 F120 T3000  ; Z probe connected to Duet 2 Z endstop input

@Phaedrux Hi, thanks for the reply, am using a magnetically attached microswitch, like the Klackender, previously was just using a z endstop, so I don't have the Z endstop defined. As for the Z maxima, will need to readjust it, thanks for spotting that. I'll record a video and post it here soon, maybe that will help with the troubleshooting.

Not too sure why, I just upgraded RRF from 3.2 to 3.3 to now 3.5.1, I now get a weird behavior where my printer is not able to home the Z axis all the way. What happens is that I send a G30 command in the homeall.g file, the printer is able to go all the way down to some arbitrary point above the bed, and just stops there. Placing a G1 H1 command to lower the axis also does not help. The probe will return back to its original Z height, and due to the Z axis min, I can't lower it without disabling steppers. It also affects my bed levelling script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll include my config.g, homeall.g, deployprobe.g and bed.g below. Thank you!
