      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.

          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

            1. Do you have another G31 command in your config-override.g file?

            2. How are you homing Z?

                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.

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

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