First Layer Issue with Beacon
Hello, I have a vcore 500mm and just installed a beacon probe. after running it my first layer was bad and seemed to be very inconsistent. Its high in areas and way to low in others. I can see the z axis moving when its printing so I know something is happening. Any advice on how to fix this?
I attached an image of the first layer to show how some areas are fine and others are awful.

Did you have better result before you install the beacon?
One issue i had with the beacon is the screws were becoming loss during printing changing the z offet. So if you havn't done so yet use some type of thread locker.
I used a bltouch before and I didnt have any bed issues, it was just really slow. Could it be that my pei sheet is uneven?
Are you saving your mesh from the beacon etc, could it be pulling an old mesh when running the print?
I believe so
I can attach my printer configuration
Let me know if everything looks correct. I have a lot of stuff at the bottom that i dont know if i need.
I think you config is not correct .. You are probably using old version of Ratos. Also you are putting the beacon config in the wrong section. It should be in the user override section
also beacon offset is not correct
need to change the postioning of the tilt as well. This is how i have it on my 400 VC
[z_tilt]
z_positions:
0,0
200,400
400,0
points:
60,60
200,370
360,60
Ok I can try that. Could you include your config file so I can see how you have the stuff laid out? Thanks so much!
here
Thanks!
