Bed Mesh, Beacon and Bed Issue

Hello!

Some background: I received my VC4-500 kit with one of the bed posts not drilled properly. Talked to the folks at RatRig on discord and they asked me to see if I’d be able to drill it through the rest of the way (it was somehow egg shaped) then run a bed mesh without sticking on the bed heater or plate magnet. (I’m not comfortable with where the balls sit in the POM holders but that’s me) They said they’ll replace the bed if it’s a bad mesh.

Talking with them through email took 2 days for for the first response so I’m hoping someone here can help.

I need to run a bed mesh but with the beacon probe I cannot home Z without a Beacon profile. To create one I ran the Beacon_RatOs_Calibrate but it wants to heat the bed up to around 80c. I haven’t connected the AC wiring to allow for it to heat up so it errors out when I get to that part.

Yesterday I was referred to follow the bed hookup in the guide https://ratrig.dozuki.com/Guide/12.+Electronics/250#s2571

but my question is how can I run the bed mesh without a beacon profile being created because it cannot heat up.

New to Beacon and RatOs if anyone can help I’d greatly appreciate it. Also sorry for the run ons and terrible grammar.
