Basic Information: Printer Model: Ender 3 MCU / Printerboard:3B+/creality 4.2.7 klippy.log Hi all, I have a funny (not realy) problem when I want define the z offset: I homing all the axis. I move the nozzle at X117.5 Y117.5 I use PROBE_CALIBRATE command in the console. The probe move down…

Sorry, I didn’t know how to do that klippy.log (600.4 KB)

It looks like you simply waited too long (had a coffee?) before continuing your calibration and in the meantime Klipper went into its idle timeout. Just follow: Probe calibration - Klipper documentation

Thanks for your answer, (no coffee, but special vitamin to set up klipper for the first time) towards the end I used the probe calibration and at the same time I googled a solution.

I tried again: [image] I think I found the solution in the documentation: https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Level.html I think I need to change the position_min on the Z axis in the printer.cfg file.

[image] Move out of range: X Y Z [E] Knowledge Base Move out of range: X Y Z [E] Background A movement beyond the physical limits was attempted. Also refer to Understanding X and Y Axes Limits and Homing Reasons A direct movement command (G1 et al.) tried to …

to me it looks like you have to update the end stop position of the z axis stepper: [stepper_z] position_min: -1 position_max: 230 Take care bot to crash the nozzle in to the bed…

I tried with -1 and -7 but it doesn’t work. I use the manual probe: [image] When I click on -1, the nozzle goes down and when I click on -0.1, the nozzle goes down and immediately goes up.

please paste the stepper_z section of your current printer.cfg Based on your description, I think you still move out of range. Did you try to lower the nozzle till the probe triggers?

Yep [image] “Have you tried lowering the nozzle until the probe goes off?” No, I just use probe_calibrate.

I cannot define the z offset
