Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
-
@Phaedrux I've fixed the steps per mm issue. Switching to an encoder driver and applying the equation resolved the problem for the X and Y axes, now set to 42 steps/mm.
However, there's an issue with the Z-axis. The offset from the G-code isn't functioning correctly, despite being shown on the Duet interface. I suspect it's due to the Z-axis calibration, especially since I'm using a leadscrew. How can I calculate the steps/mm for the Z-axis with a leadscrew?
-
I tried the setup. When I start the 3D print, instead of the Z-axis going down to -6.90, it goes up to 0.35. I don't know why it's doing this. I know it might seems a little exaggerated but I am just applying around and the printer does not go down.
Is the anything that I should add at the star of my G-code?

Z_steps_per_mm = (motor_steps_per_rev * driver_microstep) / screw_lead -
@Phaedrux it worked. Now how do I save the babystepping for when i am going to print the tip stay fixed at a proper distance. Because it not working from Custome G-code - PrusaSlicer
Any input on this? How should I approach this?

Take the amount of baby stepping you are using and adjust the probe trigger height in config.g in the G31 Z value.
If you're not using a probe, you would need to adjust your Z homing macro to alter the homed position with a G92 Z
Does that make sense? Share your homing files if not.
-
Not clear for me. Here is the Homez

Above, I have posted my Config.g if you need to look at it.

It's the Z value you need to adjust.
Making it large in the positive direction will result in the nozzle being closer to the bed. Making it larger in the negative direction will make the nozzle farther from the bed.
What type of probe do you have? -5.5 would mean the tip of the nozzle is 5.5mm below the surface of the bed when the probe triggers.
-
@Phaedrux I have an Inductive Probe. Will try to adjust this on the printer and give you feedback.
-
You should measure your trigger height using this guide if you haven't already. This may remove the need to adjust with baby stepping in the first place.

@Phaedrux thank you will try that!
