variable_calibrate_bed_mesh must be True, if not the printer doesnt make a new mesh

so PAM then gens the mesh that will be used correct? (rather than using the full bed ratos mesh from initial setup)

👍 ...just making sure this foggy old brain was seeing the 'big picture' tnx revisiting this thread..... just did a print. currently in printer.cfg.....
variable_calibrate_bed_mesh: True and in the overrides section..... # PAM #[include pam/pam.cfg] # PAM [pam] optimus_prime: True # enables adaptive purging -default = False #variable_macro_z_speed: 10 #for RatOS 2.0 and above only # toolhead offsets, to make sure the toolhead doesnt hit the prime blob toolhead_offset_left: 35.0 # default = 35 mm toolhead_offset_right: 30.0 # default = 30 mm toolhead_offset_front: 15.0 # default = 15 mm toolhead_offset_back: 15.0 # default = 15 mm I realized it did NOT do a localized mesh, rather the full bed. An associated question.... when probing.... should the probe or the print head, be at the location of the probe point ?? . It seems my Vc500 is doing it's z-tilt with the hotend at toe specified location, not the probe itself.

DOOOHL! need was down in the override section.... didn't diff the # vs #*# when I put the rest of the pam stuff down there tnx can the include/pam safely go up top near the other includes without causing issues? tia
