### Basic Information:

Printer Model: Ender 5 Pro  
 MCU / Printerboard: SKR 1.4 turbo  
 Host / SBC Raspberry Pin3B

### Describe your issue:

I’m having trouble getting the Start G-code correct. As of now the extruder keeps smashing into the bed.

I’ve performed the Z offset as per klipper instructions and saved this. So, I’m not sure what’s going on? Any advice on this would be most welcome

During the `G28` or the `BED_MESH_CALIBRATE`?

Do you have a genuine BLtouch or a clone?

Hi, it’s a genuine BL touch

So, why do you use `pin_up_reports_not_triggered` that is recommended for clones?

I suppose I didn’t know, but it has functioned correctly in the past.  
This is what’s happening  
When you start a print

1. Probes centre of bed
2. Heats bed to 60
3. Does a bed mesh
4. Extrude moves to rest pos.
5. Extruded heats 200
6. Draws 2 lines
7. Then right after drawing the lines it lift the z axis up into the extruder. (Where I have to switch off)

This is what’s in the g code of the slicer (super slicer)

1. 

```
Probes centre of bed

```

`G28` (actually, it’s homing)

1. 

```
Heats bed to 60

```

`M190 S60`

1. 

```
Does a bed mesh

```

`BED_MESH_CALIBRATE PROFILE=mesh1 METHOD=automatic`

1. 

```
Extrude moves to rest pos.

```

`G1 X10 Y15 Z30 F4000.0`

1. 

```
Extruded heats 200

```

`M109 S200`

1. 

```
Draws 2 lines

```

```auto
G1 Z2.0 F3000
G1 X10.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0
G1 X10.1 Y150.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15
G1 X10.4 Y150.0 Z0.28 F5000.0
G1 X10.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30

```

1. 

```
Then right after drawing the lines it lift the z axis up into the extruder. (Where I have to switch off)

```

And here ends the `START_PRINT` macro. So that macro is OK.

Have you checked with a different model?

You may can upload a (zipped) gcode file that makes trouble.

There is maybe some wrong settings in the slicer.
