Not sure what the issue here is. Wondering if it is where I have mounted the beacon probe. The bottom of the beacon probe PCB is 2.9 mm above the tip of the nozzle.

oooh that latency is not good It should be 2mm But the latency is usually caused by the Z axis Ie, the bed doesn't stop abruptly enough. @MFBS do you have performance mode enabled? If not, you should prolly do that, you need ~200 Z accel for contact to work.

Thanks I will go find that and enable it.

Where do I enable performance mode?

Go to the wizard, click on "Hardware configuration" in the step navigator to the right, scroll down to motion When done, click next and save

Yep I already had that selected My physical off set of the Beacon board is the same as the VC4 (2.889) in the Cad, so my issue lies elsewhere. Wonder if it might be a factor of the TC nozzle I am using that has a very small diameter tip. ...trying with some different bed plates

It is what I based the height of the Beacon mount for the Microlight on so hence they are both identical.

yep, i'm surprised by that. But at least you know that's not the problem 😄

Changing print sheets has made no difference.

Looks like there's some drift in your Z
