Z reading wrong
-
My first layer height is .32. When I started printing, it showed .32. After baby-stepping rapidly, I got the following error, and the Z display now shows .4 instead of .32. I've seen this happen before.

please post your config.g

I also just realized it causes the print to skip forward some undetermined number of lines. It happened again while I started a new print and one of the loops of the skirt got skipped.

; Axis Limits
M208 X0:275 Y0:345 Z0:343.60You need to allow small negative Z values if you want to babystep down by more than the first layer height.

@dc42 this seems like a multifaceted bug.
Since baby stepping doesn't update the Z position, it shouldn't be updated here, even because of another error.
Axis min and max shouldn't be related to baby stepping limits. This plays perfectly into my suggestion of why baby stepping should be implemented differently. It's a fix, temporary or not, to the current position. Obviously if the first layer is at .2 and for whatever reason you need to baby step down more than .2 it means that the extruder is .4 or more away from the bed. Since that's the case, there's no reason to enforce the axis dimensional limits on the adjusted position because the adjusted position should still be within bounds.
Basically, if the head is at .45 but should be at .2, why would the system think I'm trying to move past 0 when I baby step down by .25 to move it to .2?

odds are it wouldn't hold true on the other end of the travel limit - or if it does then the machine isn't configured properly to begin with and babystepping is the wrong "remedy"

@bearer That's not what would happen. If the axis dimension limit applied to the "assumed to be" Z position, then everything should be fine on both ends of the axis.
