// Diameter of print bed - this is used to set the distance that autocalibration probes the bed at.
#define BED_DIAMETER 180 // mm

This is how big the bed is and it lets the printer know to stay within this.
If you have a low number it will not reach the outside of the bed.

#define AUTOLEVEL_GRID 20 // Distance between autolevel Z probing points, should be less than print surface radius/3.

This is how far apart from the center the points are in mm.

So if you have a low number as 3 or 5. It will only probe in the center of the bed.
If you have a high number like 50. It will try to probe off the bed.


So adjsut these settings and try again.
IF all else fails post a video so we can see what is really happening
