Z-offset Issue(Probably Me)

Saadiqj

HI, hope someone can help me.

Ive built a hypercube and having a strange issue with my z-offset.
ive gone through the setup procedures with everything including the z-offset(using a bltouch btw). bltouch is working as it supposed to. Anyways, regardless of what i mak my z-offset t always goes to the same offset. is there any commands i have in my config file that may be over riding the z-offset.

Thanks in advanced

G31 Zxxxx changes the height of Z in relationship to probe trigger. I change this to get a good first layer.

Saadiqj

I know. Thats the "Z-offset"im talking about. changing that makes no difference to my setup for some reason. trying to figure it out.

Thanks though

dc42

Do you have another G31 command in your config-override.g file?
How are you homing Z?

Saadiqj

Hey DC42
Thanks fot taking time to look at my issue, hopefully you can see something

This is in my config-override.g file

I don't see a G30 probe command in there. That would explain why your trigger height isn't being set, you aren't measuring it. You are currently using the zprobe as an endstop.

Replace the z movement section with a G30.

Saadiqj

Thanks. What do you mean, "replace the z movement section with G30". Replace G31 with G30?

Phaedrux

@saadiqj I mean that where you use G1 S1 Z-370 to move the bed use G30 to call for a probe instead.
