Master Unified Bed Leveling (UBL), Bilinear ABL, and Manual Mesh MBL. Prevent the fatal post-homing leveling disable bug (M420 S1), dial in negative BLTouch Z-probe offsets, and eliminate first-layer peeling.
Inspect simulated aluminum plate thermal warpage and dial in the BLTouch Z-probe offset feeler drag.
Generate bulletproof start macros for Cura, PrusaSlicer, or OrcaSlicer that guarantee leveling restoration after G28 homing.
| Anti-Pattern | Manifestation | Mandatory Production Counter-Rule |
|---|---|---|
| The Forgotten M420 S1 | G28 homing leaves leveling disabled | Always issue M420 S1 strictly after G28. |
| Positive Z-Probe Offset | M851 Z+1.5 crashes nozzle into bed | Enforce negative Z-offset for downward probes (M851 Z-...). |
| Cold Bed Probing | Probing at 20°C bakes thermal warpage | Soak heated bed for ≥ 5 minutes before probing. |
| Unsaved Mesh Discard | Probing without EEPROM flash commit | Save mesh with G29 S1 and commit with M500. |
