VC4-500 Idex weird first layer problems
Well, I have made a silly mistake - installed the 0.6 nozzles instead of the 0.4 as didn't realize the printer came with both. After switching tha tover was able to quickly dial tihngs in as expected 🤦♂️

VC4-500 Idex weird first layer problems
Fixing the above issues, fully recalibrating the Beacon, and then actually turning on scan compensation allowed me to finally get good first layers. Though it also took very lightly sanding and then recleaning the bed with soap and water.

VC4-500 Idex weird first layer problems
I figured out that one issue was in my printer.cfg file I had two sections labled "[gcode_macro RatOS]" so that was likely a chunk of the problem.
I am still having a hard time dialing in z-offsets at this point as it doesn't seem to do a good job saving setup after microstepping. Even when I use SAVE_Z_OFFSET command instead of clicking the save button

Spoke too soon - doing a larger one layer print shows that I have just dialed the z-offset in that one place properly. It stick in some random spots and not at all in others.
So my current hypothesis is that it isn't doing anything to compensate for bed uneveness right now.

Could you elaborate? Where were you placing a reference block?

Why is my Z-Tilt only hitting 2 of 3 corners
getting the same behavior myself - can confirm that setting velocity limit to 150mm/s solved the issue
