RatOS v2.1.0-RC3-20-g90dce855 First Layer Inconsistencies

I am probably doing something wrong regarding beacon contact usage. I have followed the guide here several times without ultimate sucess. https://os.ratrig.com/docs/configuration/beacon_contact.

I am running the initial calibrate, getting success with some gantry twist, have tried automated Beacon Scan Compensation as well.

Seemingly I have an issue where after the prime blob it adds the temp offset comp but its either too high or too low without much consistencies. If I turn off temp offset comp and manual step during first part it completes fine. I run this in console, SAVE_Z_OFFSET as instructed. Next print its usually too close but ocasionally not, I am not seeing anything on the nozzle. any advice on how to debug this? Still learning the ratos config file structure and what impacts what and best beacon workflow.

Hey! Please try adding the heatsoak variables here: https://os.ratrig.com/docs/configuration/beacon_contact/#new-bed-and-hotend-heat-soaking-time and then redoing

BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE

BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE

Additionally (if that doesn't do the trick) try reversing your hotend fan (so that it draws air through the heatsink instead of pushing it through).
