XL not running mesh bed leveling prior to printing
For some unknown reason my XL has stopped running mesh bed leveling prior to printing. Needless to say, my first layer is generally screwed up.
I'm pretty sure I didn't turn mesh bed leveling off. But, how do you turn it on? I can't find anything in the XL menus or in the slicer software.
I tried re-loading the firmware, but my firmware is up to date, so it's won't re-load. I guess I could go back a version, then update back to the latest?
Any thoughts???
RE: XL not running mesh bed leveling prior to printing
OK here's a clue....the part I was going to print was originally imported into Prusa Slicer to be printed on my Mk3S+. The project was saved with the Mk3S+ as the selected printer. I then opened that same project and simply changed the printer to an XL printer. Changed nothing else. Now, mesh bed leveling doesn't happen. Coincidence? I don't think so.
There must be a setting in the slicer software than turns ON/OFF MBL, but I can't find it. Someone please help.

It's the initial gcode you're missing, go to printer settings, initial gcode, if should contain something like this:
