Z Offset

[Jpmc86]

Guys,

Sorry if this comes as a repost, but I never got around to fixing this and I am starting to print again.

Hi all

I'd appreciate some help with an issue I am having with my duet3d setup.

Rostock V3 Max with duet wifi FSR Probing.

I found the measured Z offset needed for my setup (confirmed by the baby stepping amount and also measured when sending Z=0 initially. My Z offset calls for -0.180mm . I set it at the config.g file and found that it does not do anything. Even after I set that value to the Z offset needed, I find I have to baby step by the same amount every print. Can someone see if I am missing something here?

Basically after I do my probing, I have to move my nozzle down about 0.2mm down in the direction of the build plate to get a decent first layer.

Should this value be -0.2 or 0.2 in the G31 code?

Maybe I am doing this wrong.

Right now what I do is turn on the printer and heat up the bed and extruder (to account for thermal expansion).

Making sure I have no filament oozing, I then do an auto bed compensation and let the probe do its thing. I then start the print. Every-time I do this, the print head is too far apart from the bed.

Now, am I supposed to set what z=0 is? Or does auto bed compensation take care of this?

What do you have in your homing files?
