Understanding Z probe offset height in config.g and homez.g
-
So I'm trying to make sure I'm doing this correctly because it seems redundant.
In my config.g I'm specifying the Z probe offset height.
G31 P500 X17 Y0 Z3.67Yet in my homez.g I still need to set the height manually.
G92 Z3.67Am I doing something wrong? Why is the offset setting needed in config.g if I'm still specifying the Z offset height in my homez.g? Wouldn't setting it in homez.g take care of the offset?

You don't need to set the z position in homez if you're using a z probe and g30.
Can you post your config and homing files?

Should I just be using something like "G30 P0 X150 Y150 Z-9999 S2" for my homez.g instead ?

Your homez is currently configured to work as if you were using endstops.
Try this
homez.g: G91 ; relative position G1 Z9 F6000 S2 ; raise z by 9 G90 ; absolute position G1 X136 Y149 F6000 ; go to first probe point G30 ; probe the bed using z probe to find Z0 G1 Z15 F5000 ; raise z to 15

@phaedrux Thanks, I'll give that a shot later (got another 8 hours left on a print).

I am assuming that you've measured your z offset using G30 S-1 already.
You should probably also test G30 manually before using it in your script just to make sure things are behaving as you expect. Move the head to where you want to probe and send G30 from the console. Either trigger the probe by hand if you can to test if it's working, or be ready to kill the power incase something isn't right.
