Z-Offset still doesnt save

Ive been having this issue for a couple of weeks now and i have no clue what it is. I even switched over to RatOS 2.0, but my z-offset still doesn't save and my nozzle stil smashes into the bed after i start the print. Pretty much everytime I start my printer i have to readjust my z-offset. I thought its a mechanical Problem, but at this point i dont think it is and im out of ideas. pls help me XD

How are you doing your z-offset? here is what I do: * home all * z-tilt * home z * issue PROBE_CALIBRATE in the console * use the "paper test" (https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Level.html#the-paper-test) - i.e. lower bed manually until paper is lightly gripped by the hotend nozzle * issue ACCEPT in console * issue SAVE_CONFIG in console * restart system * do a test print that is a big square * live adjust until perfect first layer Now I personally like to manually edit the offset now - but you should also be able to use the SAVE_CONFIG command again and it update it.

I do it the exact same way

then either your mechanical system is causing an issue(not moving correctly), or your probe is causing an issue(not accurate enough, not mounted rigid enough, etc.)

i see the issue your probe is too far away from the nozzle i see a z-offset of 3mm thats way to far

how close should it be more like 1mm

put your nozzle to the bed, loosen the probe, put a credit card undeath the probe, then retight it between 1 and max 2mm 1.5 is perfect
