Describe your issue:
I have a 5 year old Ender 3 Pro Max and installed a Bigtreetech 3.0 board in place of the original. I installed Mainsail on my Raspi 4B and just found out about KAMP which is great before I take a sledge hammer to this Printer. I don’t recall it being this difficult printing 5 years ago on it or my smaller Ender 3 v2. I have spent a 3 weeks Leveling and have gotten a few Models to actually print. I have made sure that the Build table and the X axis are within 1/64th of a inch, yet when I try to print a test circle it fails almost every time. Nothing is loose so anyway the reason I’m posting sorry for the delay. I’m trying to get KAMP to work through Mainsail/Klipper but I cant find where the gcode that tells it to start is. I searched and all I get is that its in the printer.cfg file but there isn’t any gcode in the printer.cfg its all in the mainsail.cfg except there is no [gcode_macro PRINT_START] that I can find. My printer.cfg has been altered a bit because I cant find one that has everything and I don’t know how to create a .bin file. anyway I have downloaded all the .cfg files Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging/Configuration at main · kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging · GitHub and still don’t know what I need to do to get KAMP to actually work. Both of my Printers have upgrades but for some reason in 5 years I’ve forgotten how to make them work.
Thank you for any help

What especially wants you to use KAMP for?
Adaptive bed meshing is now native in mainline Klipper.
You should rather try fixing hardware issues than counterct those with software.
What exactly is the problem with this particular printer?
I cannot get it to complete a print after making sure it is level with the bed. I can tell it to go to Home position 100x and it will always go the exact place but after getting it to actually print evenly on the entire Build plate… I try to Print and its to high or uneven. It makes no sense its a robot once I have set parameters it should follow them every time but it doesn’t and I have no clue why. I just bought another one (Smaller like my Ender 3 v2) but it has auto level bla bla bla and it works perfectly no issues. I did just buy a new top for it to see if that’s the issue.
Thank You

That sounds more like a mechanical issue. Maybe a screw is loose or an idler.
If the bed still sits in springs you could replace those with silicone buffers. That helped for my i3 Mega.
On those bed slingers the Z axes tend to bind. Maybe even the motor current is not properly set for at least Z steppers.
Your klippy.log would show more details. That is the reason it is requested in the initial post.
Thank you for you help, It seems after sticking the magnetic backing on the metal build plate then putting my Glass top on that fixed the issue mostly. I did have to re-level everything but I completed 2 Builds after and still don’t understand why that would fix it.
Thank You

Most important is attaching a klippy.log! That tells us almost all the important things.
