Nozzle gets closer to the bed every time during first layer (worse at higher temps).
I was able to get much better results if I updated the start_print macro to heat up everything first then start taking measurements. I noticed that it would home first and set the Z then heat up and I'm sure that isn't as accurate as doing it once it's hot. Or at least re-homing and setting Z and stuff again after it's hot and heat soaked.

I'm pretty sure it's somewhat software related. I didn't experience any of these issues before I switch to the beacon and ratOS. I lost all of my old configs or I'd easily go back to plain klipper. I'm still debating building it from scratch though, seemed to be more consistent.

Nope, that's the same issue that I've been having for a long time. Out of my 3 RR400 v3.1, 2 have the issue and one is fairly decent. Don't really notice the issue with lower temp plastics like PLA, but it's definitely there with ABS.

Ok, so I have an update - I'm pretty sure it's something with the beacon or the beacon programming. I installed a pinda probe on one of the printers I've been fighting, flashed a fresh copy of the newest ratos, PID calibrated the hotend, bed and did a proble_calibrate with the nozzle and bed at temp and printed my big test part and it layed down the first layer as consistent as I expected it to - the nozzle did not get closer to the bed at all. Hope this helps anybody else. I'll be running the pinda on a couple machines for the time being until we hear more from RR or Beacon.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to be testing out a pinda setup over the beacon and see if I have any better results. Hopefully it at least gets me printing again.
