Hello, I'm experiencing some odd behaviour with my SE300(seemecnc custom version of of the Smart Effector) w/ genuine E3d V6 after updating firmware on a Duet2 Wifi from RRF2 to RRF3.4 and adding an accelerometer for input shaping(removed after gathering data).
Calibration appears to work, but bed Mesh consistently draws a bed mesh with opposing parabolic shapes, sometimes with max error 0.5, other times "7-9!" on a glass bed that wouldn't physically make that shape. Adding shims/clamps changes the values but not the overall shape.
If I print without using a bed mesh, it prints correctly except for some relatively minor bed height leveling issues fixed by manual baby stepping.
I'm not sure how to go about trouble shooting this. I have tried changing the probe type from P5 to P8, with trigger values from 50-150.
Additional possibly helpful info.
A couple months back(on rrf2) there was an error midprint that caused the nozzle to drive into the bed through the part after printing correctly 30min. That loosened things and I retightened the belts and found an endstop screw loose causing geometry errors and resecured all of them with thread locker. I also saw that the bed mesh was showing a single point near near infinity and the web control was going into page refresh error loops so I reloaded the SD from a backup.
This worked well since but when I was investigating the latest issue I saw that a motor mount was also loose, able to a wiggle few degrees but rarely due to the tight belts. After tightening that, rechecking belts and the other mounts, the double parabolic bed mesh still remained. Pulley mounts are flat ground with double grub screws. Thank you for any suggestions.

update I swapped to a spare SE300 with a Dragon hotend and it completed the mesh correctly on the second try. The first try reported Z probe readings not consistent. 25 probing points. The config file used was the same, with the same wiring whip and no rearrangement of the bed or control board that would have moved other wires and changed the electronic noise.
I would like to get the original working but don't know where to go from here.
update2 On the faulty effector I used a multimeter, Fluke 87V, on the right side of R11 and left sides of R13 and 14.
R11->R13 = 72.4 Ohm, R11-R14 = 68-72 Ohm with some fluctuation if my hand wasn't steady. Wiping some dust off appears to have steadied the R11-R14 probe reading.
