Hello,

It is not clear what are you trying to compare: Z-probe is a single point probe action. Heightmap is a set of Z-probe measure results useful to compensate surface and CNC "defects" for further engraving or PCB mill.

I admit, it is not easy to achieve perfect result (see the #550 issue for example).

btw, usual PCB has ~0.018 mm or ~0.035 mm copper thickness and you are milling almost 10 times deeper.
