Dual Z Motors single Z Probe as end stop for each motor

I've got my dual z motors working.

I would like it level the bed instead ie use the Z probe as an endstop twice and move it the homez.g, then I can use the various meshs for the bed. Is this possible?

i dont unserstand what you mean, but your bed.g is incorrect
its missing the S2

@Veti Thanks for that spot, I'd missed the S2 to calculate the new plane.
Ignore my question, I've just written it down in a different way and have seen what I am asking is impossible or at least potentially dangerous given the bed is one piece and the steppers don't have a feedback position (think I've played with servo motors for too long).
I suppose my question should be can you carry out the dual probe and then carry out a mesh calibration or is it pointless?

it depends on the quality of your bed. if your bed is very flat then its pointless.
if your bed is not flat but does not deform because has a high with, then you can just reload the mesh without probing again.
otherwise its a good idea to do a G29 after the G32. -
Perfect, bed is a piece of 6mm tooling aluminium with little flex so no point in over egging the pudding.
Time to start printing as that was my last query from my upgrade.
