Is there a certain spot I have to place SKEW_PROFILE LOAD=default_profile. Seems like not matter where I place it, I keep getting skew_correction: Load failed, unknown profile []. Profile is defintely in my printer.cfg
#Skew_Profile

Sounds like maybe you've got two issues going on
- what's the actual name of your profile
- is that really what you've put in your print start macro?
You should start by looking at your config files for the skew profile you've saved, and at its name. For me, it's Calilantern, so I have this entry in my configs:
#*# [skew_correction Calilantern]
#*# xy_skew = 3.3234151768170053e-05
#*# xz_skew = 0.0
#*# yz_skew = 0.0
So in my print start, I can run SKEW_PROFILE LOAD=Calilantern
If I type that into my printer's mainsail console, it accepts it, and does not print an error (or anything else). If I chose a profile it didn't know about, it would report
skew_correction: Load failed, unknown profile [default_profile]
So you can test this first in mainsail
The followup here, assuming it works in mainsail, is that your print start error doesn't match the command you posted (it doesn't use default_profile by name, it thinks it's blank), and that seems odd

so for the purpose of the post, I just used "default_profile". Sorry for the confusion as it probably doesn't help that I didn't post my exact config. So... I am setup similar... the name of my profile is Calilantern as well. When I type it into Mainsail... no response, so I assume it loaded. The error message I receive is skew_correction: Load failed, unknown profile []. The actual command I have is SKEW_PROFILE LOAD=Calilantern I have it towards the bottom of my print start, right after loading the bed Mesh profile.

yikes. I think I found my mistake... Not sure if I had the variable defined corretly in the AFC.macros.cfg. Running again to see if the message still pops up.
Before I run, just to be sure... is this only place I define the profile?

Yes, but you only need it here if you use disable_skew_correction in your AFC config - which isn't a bad idea if you've got large skew values but calculated your macro positions without skew enabled

current skews are:
#*# [skew_correction Calilantern] #*# xy_skew = 0.006748495791531343 #*# xz_skew = -0.0038893744443500235 #*# yz_skew = -0.001845654809675615
would that warrant a disable?

300 * 0.006
oops I was trying to type that into a calculator lol
So that's 1-2mm over the length of your bed. Yeah, it's not nothing
upper estuary
ok cool. So I shouldn't even worry about disabling and re-enabling.
wet garnet
It's your call. I was saying it might be good
All you need to do is set disable_skew_correction to true
But then again, if you don't have trouble, why bother
upper estuary
oh misread that... okay will give it a shot. Thank you for helping! By the way does the 300 come from the size of the bed?
wet garnet
yeah, so if you've got a position that's at 300 in X for example, that would be a correction of +2mm in Y
Though I'm not sure whether the skew is accounted for about the center of the bed, or about 0,0, so I hedged and say 1-2mm 🙂
upper estuary
gotcha. Thank you again for helping and explaining. Much appreciated!

Still having trouble with the skew error. Am I correct in changing this line in the AFC.macros.cfg from:
variable_skew_profile: "my_skew_profile" # Widely used as documented in Klipper docs
to: variable_skew_profile: "Calilantern" # Widely used as documented in Klipper docs.
wet garnet
Yes, that should be right

@upper estuary, please run this debugging script when not printing and post the resulting link in chat.

Will do, and thank you. Might be a few days before I can run the debug. (don't get back to work until Monday)
