PA-15CF - Printer has been calibrated, yet I keep getting these imperfections.
Seems like overextrusion, however my flow seems to be spot on. First layer is good. Last layer is good. I used all the Orca Slicer calibrations until I was content with the result. What could I be missing?

Can't set Z Offset
Hi all.
So whenever I start a print, the printer does its thing. Probes the bed, z-tilt, heats up the bed and nozzle... yada, yada, yada. Then it prints the blob and as it goes to put down the first layer, it says the Z Offset is 0.56 positive. Problem is it is way too high. I have to manually babystep to -0,544. Then, while still printing at the correct height, I run SAVE_Z_OFFSET. Now at this point I have tried 3 different ways. 1 - I run that during the print at the right height, wait for the print to finish, then SAVE_CONFIG and reboot the machine. 2 - I run the SAVE_Z_OFFSET, while the print is still running, I run the SAVE_CONFIG effectively stopping the print, and then reboot. And 3 - I set the offset while printing, let the entire print finish, then do the SAVE_Z_OFFSET followed by the SAVE_CONFIG and then the reboot.
Any of these 3 ways, after the reboot, when I start the print and as soon as it starts to print after the blob, it is back to the same 0.56 and again I need to babystep. What am I missing?
UPDATE WHILE WRITING THE POST Meanwhile, somewhere along the line I must have done something I can't identify, because now I have to offset about -0,55 for it to reach the bed.

Removing PAM in favor of adaptive meshing
I had PAM installed before adaptive meshing was added to RatOS. Now, in the machine tab, PAM shows up as corrupted. Since I am not using it, what is the correct way to remove it from RatOS?

V-Core 3 500x500 With BLTouch. Where / how do I increase the mesh grid size?
Right now the mesh grid is 7x7, but the results are as close to pure sh#% as anything can be. I need to increase the mesh size to sample more points and see if it helps. I can't figure out where or what I have to change in the cfg files.

Probe issue with BIQU Microprobe
So yeah, I'm having serious issues. At first I was getting random drops of the tip. I'd start a print just to find that the tip of the probe didn't retract and was pulling the first layer off the bed. Then at times, it would deploy mid print and the tip was hitting the part. We found that the probe wasn't always retracting, as if there wasn't enough power. The tech figured out that the problem was probably inductance. I took all the cabling out and placed it back in the harness in a careful manner and now that issue is gone. And the probe finally deploys and retracts at command. However, now every time I home I get "Endstop z still triggered after retract".

After updating my install today, both cameras now just sit there "connecting".
As per title, after about 2 weeks without updating, today I printed out quite a few parts. No big issues and all was well, including my cameras. Since there were quite a few modules reporting available updates, I decided to run the update over dinner time. Again, no issues as far as I can tell and all completed correctly. However, I soon noticed my 2 USB webcams were down. I mean, their LED indicatores are on so they are powered, but I am not getting image. I can't find any info about crowsnest being broken or anything to this effect. Did I miss something?

Webcams freezing up.
When updating the OS to the newer version to allow for Adaptive Meshing & Priming, the webcams seem to freeze after a while. As seen in the attached video, connecting directly to the stream you can see the stream does work. To get the cameras to work again in the WebUI, it is necessary to switch tabs or swith between camera views. However, after a while, the images freeze again. This happens whatever choice you make (single camera or both).
Please note I am not 100% sure this is OS related, though the fact the stream works when connecting direclty makes me believe it may be.
Edit: forgot to mention it only seems to happen if using Adaptive MJPG (experimental).

After months of only showing one camera, today my Moonraker is showing the second camera instead
So I have 2 webcams on my rig. Only ever was able to get one to display at a time as the second one would never show up. For months, I just lef the second one one there, unplugged. Last week, I accidentaly plugged the second webcam back in following some changes. Today, when I booted up the OS, I see that both cameras are now showing red lights indicating they are both powered on, and I am seeing the image form camera 2 instead of the habitual camera 1.
What do I need to do to enable the other camera as a second view? I noticed that V2 of the RatOS now has Crowsnest running as default.
