Random beeping mid-print, no error message
Just got this machine set up today. A square, first layer calibration test is what I'm printing. I've done a few now, and randomly during the print the machine BEEPS VERY LOUD.
No errors on the screen or any clue as to what the problem was.
I don't see a way to attach gcode to this post, but let me know where to post it if you'd like to see it.
Firmware is the latest one, downloaded today.

I suspect it's not random. While you didn't post a link to the file you printed, a lot of those first layer calibrations, people tell you to adjust the Live-Z height by 0.05 or so at certain intervals. Then look at the finished piece and you have sections of different Live-Z, and find the section that looks the best.
My guess is someone added custom G-gode to the gcode file, to cause the printer to beep at the point at which they recommend you change the Live-Z height. So that while printing, when you hear the beep, dial in your Live-Z change.

Well, if I slice it rather than use this pre-made gcode, it's no longer doing that. Mods feel free to delete.
