Beacon mesh calibrate seems to be offset to the left relative to centre
Using RatOS 2.1RC3 and a Beacon probe on a RatRig 400.
When the printer is doing a mesh calibrate before print, it goes too far to the left and not far enough to the right. It even hits the x-axis end stop while doing the mesh calibrate.
The location it uses to do a Z calibrate is exactly in the centre, so the centre point seems properly defined. What could be the reason and what is the way to fix this?

x endstop adjusted to the right spot?
What do you mean?
The switch is mounted on the EVA on the appropriate spot
Is it adjustable? I haven't messed with any EVA heads
The endstop switch itself is not, but the other end can be
I believe you can do one or both of:
adjust the endstop so it triggers when the head is at the edge of the print bed
in printer.cfg change the endtop position (even negative) to match where the endtop is in relation to the printbed
aka, the endstop may not be triggering at "zero"
I'll check where my 0,0 position is. the mesh calibrate should never go negative right?
honestly not sure, I ran a mesh calibrate once like a year ago and been printing fine since. Can't remember any details
Currently I have the following position config for the stepper_y:
position_min: 0
position_max: 400
position_endstop: 400
I guess that means to fine tune this I would need to increase the position_endstop a bit?
Got a long print running, can test later 🙂
Thats very similar to what I have on my Vcore3.1 300 at least
