Beacon + Spannsysteme X-Gantry = Sensing Artifacts?
Hi,
I have installed the Beacon surface scanner to my printer yesterday and found a weird issue.
The bed mesh has a pattern, that repeats along the Y-axis (see the first image). The hills and valleys are spaced with approximately 40mm distance.
Due to the fact that the pattern stays the same, it must come from the X-gantry. I tried loosening and retensioning the linear rail while heatsoaked, to no avail (I might have now introduced some slight bend during this). As a important note, I am also using this lightweight X-gantry: https://spannsysteme.shop/produkte/x-gantry-422mm-for-ratrig-v-core.
I remounted the SuperPinda today and ran a 14x7 mesh, where imho the pattern should already become visible. However there is none, which leads me to the conclusion that there might be an interference with the X-gantry. Please ignore the other bowing in the mesh for now.
Maybe the pockets in the material introduce artifacts into the beacon's coil?
However the pattern doesn't fully match the pockets, as it's not fully symmetric.
Is anyone using a similar setup or has any ideas? Did I miss steps while setting up the Beacon?
