I've never been able to get a clean first layer with this machine. I have given it a beacon probe and it just made it much faster to get the same problem to happen again. Where am I going wrong?

I have reworked the start_print gcode macro to incorporate a heat soak before scanning for a mesh. While its running that 20 minute soak, I notice that the temperature reading on the beacon coil is actual dropping while everything else is increasing during the soak. Is just above the bed, in the center, doors closed, and its readings are getting steadily lower. What could possibly cause that?

EDIT: Here's where I ended up with my printer.cfg file for my 300 mm^3 voron trident. Do you see anything suspicious? https://pastebin.com/AxxEypK4
