Mesh Bed Leveling - add points.

I have a cr-10s and would like to add 4 more points to my mesh bed leveling pattern.

However, I do not want to add them to the outside line but rather in select midpoints between the outer edge and center (see attached).
I know were to add the number of points per axis, but not where to set the positions for them.

Is this possible?

So you don't want a square mesh? You want your mesh points staggered?

None of the mesh bed leveling systems accommodate that right now.

Is there a good reason to do that?

I thought the idea was to correct hills and valleys rather then just "tilt". There could be a hill or valley between the center and outer edge.

OMG... I am such an idiot.

I did not understand how the pattern changes if you just add more points via"GRID_MAX_POINTS_X" at line 986 (i think).
I upped mine to 5 and it does a great job.... my bed has never been leveler. smiling smiley

UBL allows you to tilt the mesh. But there is seldom a reason to do that. The mesh bed leveling works very well.

The isn't any down side to using a 10 x 10 mesh instead of a 5 x 5 mesh. Depending on the peaks and valleys... You may get better results with more mesh points.
