Bed meshes don't seem to work properly. I can get wildly different bed meshes without ever moving or adjusting anything on the machine, leading me to believe that the BL-Touch probe might have some issues (or may not be a genuine part, I'm not certain.) It might be worth looking into something else for Z probing. Bed meshes don't seem to work properly.

Bed meshing was working, it's just that I'm unused to sprung beds. Enabling adaptive meshing with KAMP has resolved this issue.

If you are just importing the PrusaSlicer profile, these changes to the START G-Code should already be applied.

**NOTE:** I've hda to re-adjust the Z offset fairly frequently, sometimes between each print. It's not a large task, but I'm unsure if there's an issue with either the probe or the bed screws or the bed itself - just do not rely on this to be accurate over a large amount of time! **NOTE:** I've hda to re-adjust the Z offset fairly frequently, sometimes between each print.

Home all axes and then enter <code>PROBE_CALIBRATE</code> into the command line. From there, adjust the Z offset in small increments using the on-screen arrows until it is close enough to the bed that you feel resistance when you drag a sheet of paper below it.

**NOTE:** I'm not certain this is 100% necessary as this unit appears to have a pretty dang flat bed; my results have not been much different when using a bed mesh. I feel that the BL Touch probe installed is either wonky or inaccurate. If and when I switch this machine over to hard mounts, this may be a more important set. Bed meshing is now handled automatically on every print by KAMP. It creates a smaller mesh of only the area you'll be printing on, meaning they are **much** more accurate.
