Z offset changes every print.

Hey guys Voron 0.2 which is corexy with the bed Moving Up/Down. I have no Bed probe because the bed is only 120x120mm, So I do manual bed leveling. The problem I am having is the bed move up to the nozzle after every print so I have to Z babystepping every time I start printing,

Post the homeall.g as well.
@Karim said in Z offset changes every print.:
G92 Z119.5 ; set Z position to axis minimum
If you're homing to Zmax, how did you determine this value?
If the value is changing after a print, have you accounted for thermal expansion?

@Karim how do I set z offset if the limit switch is at the bottom on the printer. As you can see I am homing at z max.
-
Well you'd need to first identify the actual Z0 point by manually jogging the nozzle down to touch the bed, then send G92 Z0 to set Z0. Then send
G1 H3 Z300 F600to move the z axis to the zmax endstop and measure the distance. Then send M500 to save the updated M208 Z value to config-override.g. You'd need M501 at the end of config.g to load it again. In your homez.g you would want to remove your existing G92 Z119.5 entirely. -
@Phaedrux ok, I got 118.85 from nozzle to bed switch. Look like it’s working, so I noticed z babystepping not working. I have to disable axis limit (M564 S0) to go closer to nozzle.
-
The babystepping won't let you go below the z minima value. You can change your M208 Z minima to be slightly negative like -0.5 to give you more baby stepping room.
But if you have your Z0 set accurately there shouldn't be much need for baby stepping. If your first layer isn't accurate, there's still a problem with homing.
-
@Phaedrux ok I let the nozzle top a piece of paper and then zero. But when I go to print the nozzle it a little too high. Do I change the Z0 to Z18.35

Post your full config.g and override file and home z and slicer start gcode as they are now please.
Are you allowing for thermal expansion when you measure the z0 position?
-
@Phaedrux yes bed is at print temperature always.

@Karim said in Z offset changes every print.:
Do I change the Z0 to Z18.35
If you need to baby step a little lower than it's letting you try
M208 Z-1.I don't see anything else in your config that is off. If you're still getting strange behaviour it could be mechanical, or thermal expansion.
After homing to Z max, and you send G90 G1 Z0 does the nozzle tip just touch the bed again?
-
@Phaedrux ok I change the Z value in M208 S0 Z118.17 in config-override.g and then restart to get the nozzle closer to the bed. I will test and report back the evening.
