Z Trigger Height / Z offset - I don't get it
-
After a small accident with my BTT SKR Mini E3 board where I accidently burnt out a mosfet I decided to try embracing the world of RepRap I have managed to get the setup to the point where I can print but I'm having huge issues with the Z height.
Coming from Marlin I was initially a bit confused as to Z Offset and how this works in RepRap the problem I am having is no matter how many times I try guides such as https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe]When I start a print I always have to start rapidly baby stepping the Z offset.
I'm still not convinced I really understand Z Trigger height and if I still need a Z offset? Also my trigger height seems to be higher than what the guides seem to suggest mines comes up as approx 3mm
I have mild Aspergers so sometimes I cannot see the obvious so please do not worry about offending me I'm quite happy having anything explained to me as you would a child lol - If anyone has good Ender 5 configs I can pinch I'd be very grateful or any suggestions as to the many mistakes I've no doubt made!

Hi and Welcome,
Just to help be get my bearings can you show me what references to Z Offset you are talking about.
Then I will better be able to discuss things.
Thanks.
