I’d really appreciate any ideas as I’ve run out of options. I’ve had my sv06 for about two years, and have never had a similar issue. When I try to use the bed levelling command, the printer heats up and runs through the first few points as normal, but when it reaches point 5 its moved to the edge of the bed and hits the far stop on the X axis. Point 5 fails, and the printer gives up. I’ve tried auto-homing, all the other calibration steps I can think of. I’ve checked belt tensions, screw tightness and gantry squareness. I’ve tried flashing with the latest Sovol firmware, and one of the community versions of marlin too - they all produce the same results. The probe is moving about 68mm between points, which seems too much to produce a square 5x5 grid on a 220mm bed printer. It’s almost as if the printer thinks the bed is bigger then it is, but I’m at a loss to understand what printer settings would influence that, or why a firmware flash wouldn’t clear it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ---

I have custom firmware on my SV06 & it probs more points… looking at the [Bed Leveling Guide On Sovol SV06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEJVVoFvgMY) … your saying your printer stops probing at this point…?? ![Capture](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/e/e143b137b6f267eca7866f6c3c50b23938a8200b.jpeg) ---

You are running the stock Sovol firmware? ---

Thats correct; I’ve tried a few, the latest Sovol firmware included. ---

That’s roughly where it would probe point 4, it would then move further to the right to try and probe point 5, hit the gantry and grind a bit against the belt, drop down to probe the bed, find no bed present, and give up. The only other idea I’ve had this afternoon is to find a firmware which allows for manually controlled meshing. ---

It has been ages since I used marlin firmware but I seem to recall they had a small non-volatile memory space where you could store override settings for things like steps/mm and mesh point locations. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/0/0a62f7f1ceecf12ec69ab88ff8121cbe8ebbb716.png) ---

Compiling Marlin is beyond my capabilities currently, but it looks like I may have to learn. ---

That is a knob screen function. Configuration → Advanced Settings → Initialize EEPROM Copies all the defaults from the firmware into the “working” memory space.
