Bed mesh compensation not working at all
I have tried just about every possible way to get the bed mesh compensation to work so i can get a decent first layer and nothing helps. My bed mesh is .125 repeatable at 105c bed 55c chamber and 150c hot end. I have the light weight x bar. The thermal coefficient is positive even at the correct layer height.
I have been trying anything possible for 2 weeks... And i have multiple prints that i have to have done before i leave the state for multiple weeks and i cant get it to print the first layer for anything
If anyone has any insight on how to fix the first layer issue would be very much appreciated

latest one, its almost like it prints down hill till it hits the bed. i have not changed any z offset as i have heard that can screw up how the compensation works. it starts perfect then gets worse. nothing i do will fix it so i can print anything over 40x40mm is unusable
same problem but with not enclosed printer
I figured mine out. I had to save my printer.cfg and wiped the ratos back to stock and started over with an empty clean nozzle. You need a positive thermal compensation. Mine ends up about .080-.092 Then micro step your z offset and use save_z_offset while printing.
