This is just an M48 command with a heated nozzle... Why make us edit the .gcode??

Any M48 command is going to say the same thing. I don't believe this test results in anything meaningful.

@HiHoWillyO_464893 - Pintables didn't let me upload with that command uncommented. Hence the procedure to remove the comment and activate the command. The command tests the probe for repeatability (precision) - This can help identify if the probe is at fault or if its something else when you are having issues with obtaining a level bed.

Results from a TH3D EZABL Pro Micro on a Creality CR-10S through Octoprint.

Recv: Mean: -1.642152 Min: -1.673 Max: -1.610 Range: 0.064 Recv: Standard Deviation: 0.020785

Symptoms currently include having to dial in the Z offset every print and having a mesh that does not compensate or over compensates.

@BrettNorman_1084112 looks like the probe itself is not the problem. Good to be able to remove one variable from the troubleshooting :)

@3DJourney Thanks! That was my conclusion as well. On to the next thing I suppose!

With a range of 0.02 and a deviation of 0.006354 I'd call that within margins of their claimed accuracy.

however this not solve as to why i have to manually edit the mesh on my ender 3 S1 if the ABL is accurate?

@BaklavaBaby29 - correct this just proves your probe is good. The z, x, y axis can be twisted and other things which can cause issues. If you look at my other models though there is guidance on how to create a manual mesh of the bed and you will be able to print and have a great first layer.

Do you happen to know if this works with the strain gauge style of the Creality CR-6 SE?
