I’ve never been able to get a clean first layer with this machine. I have given it a beacon probe and it just made it much faster to get the same problem to happen again. Where am I going wrong?

    I feel you OP. I have a Hypercube Evo that I can’t for the life of me get a leveled bed with. I’ve swapped linear rails with MGN, switched to multiple probes including a beacon that I still need to install but probably won’t help seeing this post.

    I think your frame isn’t straight, there’s twist somewhere that combined with an offset from probe to nozzle means it’s impossible to remove with probing as the offset in Z between nozzle and probe changes over X and/or Y. That’s the only thing I can think of at this point.

        My guess would be from one side of the x-axis to the other, because then on one side the nozzle to probe offset would be less in Z then on the other. But it could also be anywhere else. Can you check if your frame is square?

          I am constantly manually tweaking Z offset at the start of prints so here’s hoping the heatsoak solves that.
