Can't set Z Offset
Hi all.
So whenever I start a print, the printer does its thing. Probes the bed, z-tilt, heats up the bed and nozzle... yada, yada, yada. Then it prints the blob and as it goes to put down the first layer, it says the Z Offset is 0.56 positive. Problem is it is way too high. I have to manually babystep to -0,544. Then, while still printing at the correct height, I run SAVE_Z_OFFSET. Now at this point I have tried 3 different ways. 1 - I run that during the print at the right height, wait for the print to finish, then SAVE_CONFIG and reboot the machine. 2 - I run the SAVE_Z_OFFSET, while the print is still running, I run the SAVE_CONFIG effectively stopping the print, and then reboot. And 3 - I set the offset while printing, let the entire print finish, then do the SAVE_Z_OFFSET followed by the SAVE_CONFIG and then the reboot.
Any of these 3 ways, after the reboot, when I start the print and as soon as it starts to print after the blob, it is back to the same 0.56 and again I need to babystep. What am I missing?
UPDATE WHILE WRITING THE POST Meanwhile, somewhere along the line I must have done something I can't identify, because now I have to offset about -0,55 for it to reach the bed.
