Probe points offset - unaffected by beacon x/y offset override
I just finished my 3.1 upgrade including a beacon probe. I'm currently running through the initial configuration. I noticed the 3 probe points used for z-tilt adjustment are shifted backward by several centimeters so that the probe point in the back is such that the beacon hangs halfway off the printbed.
First, i checked my 0,0 point and that is where it needs to be.
I didn't want to touch the kinematics variables since it's a stock V-core. So I added a beacon section to my user overrides in the printer.cfg:
[beacon]
x_offset: 0
y_offset: 22.5 I started playing with the y_offset and strangely, this does not seem to change anything. No matter what value I assign to y_offset, the position of the probe points remain unchanged. Puzzled right now ... Why could that be, what am I missing? And second, is that the right approch to correct for the "probe point triangle" shifted to the back? Version is RatOS-v2.1.0-RC3

Yeah the default config assumes the default hardware on the default toolhead, which is/was a superpinda on EVA3 so the z_tilt points and positions and bed_mesh min/max is all tailored to the EVA offsets for superpinda.
You should change those when swapping to beacon, unfortunately i currently don't have a great way to automatically adjust those as there's too much information missing....

Should probably build something to warn about that when selecting non default hardware in the configurator
It's one of the last remaining things that needs automation
So i change the [z_tilt] section - right?
yeah just add overrides to printer.cfg
And leave the beacon section alone?
You can find the defaults in RatOS/printers/v-core-3/[size].cfg
The override you added is fine
