G29 in start code doesn't seem to activate Mesh Bed Leveling

G29 in start code doesn't seem to activate Mesh Bed Leveling

Hello!

I have manually probed my bed and come to this Mesh Bed Leveling grid.

0 1 2 3 4
0 -1.20000 -1.20000 -1.10000 -1.20000 -1.00000
1 -1.40000 -1.40000 -1.60000 -1.60000 -1.30000
2 -1.40000 -1.70000 -1.80000 -1.80000 -1.70000
3 -1.70000 -1.90000 -1.90000 -1.70000 -1.20000

I store it in EEPROM with M500

In Marlin 1.1.7 I have done the following in Configuration.h

//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_3POINT
//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_LINEAR
//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR
//#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_UBL
#define MESH_BED_LEVELING

#define PROBE_MANUALLY

When I perform a G26(a test grid pattern) everything works fine. The Z axis motors rotate during print. That leads me to believe that my Start Code in Cura does not active the Mesh Bed Leveling system.

When I print an object THE Z-AXIS MOTORS DOES NOT MOVE. They just stand still. What could be the cause of this?

My start code in Cura:

M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 X0 Y0;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0; Move Z to min endstop
G29 ;Enable Mesh Bed Leveling
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 Z15.0 F9000 ;move the platform down 15mm

The Gcode in the file that Cura exports:

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:41268

And so on...

Ok solved it myself, but I will share the solution.

The issue was that State of the G29 was set to Off

I added a line: M420 S1 ;Enable Mesh Grid after the G29 and now everything works!
