How to use adaptive mesh with multiple profiles
I have created 5 meshes (different build plates and different plate temps). How do I now enable the right profile in the slicer? I do NOT have a profile called Contact so the RATOS variable beacon_scan_compensation_profile: "Contact" throws an error. I thought I could add this to my printer Start G-code
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO="RatOS" variable="beacon_scan_compensation_profile" VALUE="PEI_110_40"
but this gives me:
Unable to parse 'PEI_110_40' as a literal: malformed node or string:
Solution:Jump to solution
Above solution was not complete: I needed to shift the "setting of gcode variable" to above the START_PRINT code in the Slicer Start G-code box (which makes perfect sense now,...). My Start G-code now lokes like:
G90
G21
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO="RatOS" variable="relative_extrusion" VALUE="True"...

@Helge Keck was talking about this the other day in the VC4 channel. Discussion starts https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1223286652949106748/1272999340553535550 I ended up going with the automatic profile selection which is later in that discussion at https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1223286652949106748/1273002586911408294 RatOS macros will load the right profile by bed temperature. If that setting works for you its pretty easy to setup.
Thanks @chicken. This helpes a lot. My syntaxt was apperently wrong (still need to check but have a print running). The actual value should have double quotes... VALUE=' "PEI_110_40" '
The temperature dependant macro is not ideal for me as I also have different build plates (PEI_80, POA_80, Powedercoated_110 etc...)

And I remove the semi-colon of the proper setting. Ideally, this would be done automatically but for now this works. (I might see if I can make it dependant on the fillament-choice or temperature, but that still leaves me to sellect the proper build plate...)
