Issue installing beacon software

Hello all. I am having a issue with one of my plus 4 with beacon. I had an issue a while back where I had to reflash my emmc and I cannot install the beacon software now.

I am getting 2 different errors. I am either getting a no such file or directory error or failed to connect to GitHub.com port 443 when trying to install beacon software.

I have tried using windows and Mac. Both getting same error.

Any help or directions much appreciated.

No bed mesh graph

Hi everyone ,

So i got a couple used Plus 4 and they all have the same issue , on the bed mesh menu i can see the controls to do a mesh but i don't get a graph at the end

I've used them like that for a while now but one of them is way off on the range and changes a lot but cant really point out where the issue is (I'm guessing a faulty bed sensor) looking at the raw numbers is not efficient at all , so i'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else i don't usually update the machines but i did update this used ones trying to fix the issue and didn't work

Thanks for the help!

Horrible first layer

For some reason my first layer has terrible quality now, either over extrude or under extrude.
I am printing in PETG I have never had problems with it, it always stuck really well onto the plate, now not anymore, I’ve washed the plate well, dried with paper towel, and alcohol soaked it, but some parts of the first layer always gets peeled back and sticking to the nozzle resulting in a chain reaction of the stuck plastic on nozzle hitting other first layers and resulting in a clog on the nozzle.
I’ve already tried drying the filament, Changing nozzles and done the manual bed leveling.
Sometimes it prints fine but on another part of the plate it prints terrible, I’ve tried so much to fix it but am tired of tweaking with this, can anyone help me?
