    Hey there, I'm wondering if anyone can help me solve this. Back when I first got my printer it would probe the bed 3 times before printing. Now it probes 9 times. 3 front, 3 middle, 3 back. Not sure what changed this. Any ideas?

    What does your printer do, 3 or 9?

    Three times is MatterControl doing the autoleveling.
    If your PRINTER does the autoleveling it will be 9.

    You have turned off MC autoleveling (done in the MC UI) and turned on the printer (added the appropriate startup GCode). This is actually best.

    The 3 point method was crap anyways. 9 point is better
