Adaptive Bed Mesh with Beacon

Since RatOS dosnt support adaptive bed mesh with Beacon, I am still using PAM. Though it is depreciated, it still works well for me. Now Klipper has native adaptive bed mesh but I cant figure out how to use it with RatOS. Or maybe I am totally confused about how to go about using adaptive meshing with Beacon. I would appreciate if somebody could explain the best way to achieve this with Beacon.

It does support adaptive bed mesh with beacon. It doesn't support adaptive priming with beacon (fix already implemented in the upcoming v2.1). You can still use adaptive bed mesh. Klipper's native implementation doesn't do priming at all And it requires enabling object processing (extra resource usage / work on the pi) in klipper and moonraker, and it requires slicer profile changes. Just enable the RatOS adaptive bed mesh and use a 2 line skirt or something, like in the old days.

Ok, thanks for the answer! I do really like the prime blob though, is there a way to still have a prime blob, even if it's on the edge of the build plate (like now)?

Depends how flat your bed is. If there is too high of a variance between the corner you are blobbing at and the print area, you can scratch your bed. As the blob will be printed based on the z-height measured at the centre of the bed. So if your centre is higher than your corner, you should be fine. If it's lower than your corner, depending on how much lower, it can damage your printing surface. Personally, on my 400 VC3, i run my bed mesh at 300m/s and scanning the whole bed. It doesn't add that much extra time to the printing. You will save like what 15-20 sec?

The edge of the build plate is the problem (potentially), as it's not included in the mesh (or you wouldn't need adaptive mesh to begin with) 🙂 Well, it takes me 30 seconds to do a 7x7 mesh with a super pinda or euclid on a 400 in total with proper speeds, so yeah 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to answer this in detail! I think I will just wait for Update 2.1 in that case 😉
