Dudes about bed compensation
-
Hi,
To make sure the printer is using bed compensation. Can it be checked in any way?
The bed compensation (G29 S1), should only be used while it is being printed, so the most reasonable place to put it is in start gcode of the slicer. No?
Can Duet be instructed to use it for NO print movements? This would be to check in a visual way that it really works well, and the nozzle follows the irregularities of the bed.
It could also be interesting, if in some way it will be indicated in the Dwc that the bed compensation is being used in the movements. Maybe a check box or similar

Send M122 and look for "bed compensation: mesh"

correct. Put it in start.g or in your slicer start gcode after the Z axis has been homed.

If the mesh is active, it will be used, print move or not.

And just to be sure it works correctly remember that you need to set the Z=0 Datum using a single G30 command with the Z probe at the center of the bed:
- before creating the height map
- before loading the height map
