Am I right in thinking that the mesh leveling isn't for beds that are mounted on springs and break contacts when pressed like the Fisher bed?

My glass bed doesn't appear that flat but on consideration, the mesh wouldn't know how to take into account the different pressure needed to break the contacts in different parts of my bed?

Are you talking about FSR? How did you wire them? I believe, this has a big influence.

Mesh bed levelling only works well if the trigger height for the Z probe is reasonably constant over the entire bed. It's possible that in future I may add provision for adjusting trigger height with XY position, if it can be calculated from a fairly simple formula.
