Mesh Issue

@jayjay Ok, I do think that klipper is interesting and could make a difference if the configuration is spot on, but the same could be said for RRF.
FWIW I use 3.11 and independent Z motors in my setup and have had zero issues for the longest time, you can browse my files here if it helps: https://github.com/rkolbi/RRF-machine-config-files/tree/master/Prusa MK3s/

This machine just recently started to exhibit this behavior, or at least i just noticed it after i couldn't get a decent first layer on a new material i was testing. before that it has been running perfectly fine in this configuration for years.

One of my other machines is exactly the same as this one and isn't presenting these symptoms

@Phaedrux

This machine (and the other one) has ran fine with that configuration for years, the only changes being firmware updates, but I did move the M671 command to be the final entry in the drives section.

That along with removing the "heightmap.csv" part from my G29 S1 in the start g code of my slicer(s) has made no difference, I tried it with ideamaker, prusa slicer and simplify3d.

@jayjay Ok, that adds a bit of a milestone to the troubleshooting process. Since you have another machine that is exactly the same, have you swapped sd cards between them to see if the problem shifts?

Phaedrux

At this point could you try switching to fw 3.2 then to see if the problem is related to 3.3 beta2?

Upload this zip file to the system tab.

I have tried multiple new Scandisk industrial i procured through work. formatted in slow mode with the SD association SD card formatting tool.

posting on the forum is a last resort.

@Phaedrux

I was on 3.2.2 when i noticed the issue , i updated to the beta to see if that would cure it, sadly it didn't, and i just never rolled back

Kolbi

@jayjay I was suggesting that since both printers are exactly the same, to power them both off and swap the cards between the two of them. Taking the card from a known-good and putting it in a deranged unit would half-step the issue, or at least prove if it is software/configuration or something else.

Phaedrux

Can you show what the mesh display looks like now in dwc 3.3?

Can you also share heightmap.csv?

I cured the issue, I went back to RRF 2.0.5.1 all my problems went away, so I'm spending time printing instead of diagnosing issues.

And its happy to use DWC 1 again.

So although unorthodox the problem has been "solved"

@JayJay, that doesn't sound like a solution to me. Are you definitely using bed compensation with RRF 2.05.1, and is it definitely working?

@dc42

Yes & Yes

I want to use the printer to print things not waste time and filament chasing an issue, taking a retrograde step has allowed me to get back to printing.
