### Basic Information:

Printer Model:  
 MCU / Printerboard:  
 Host / SBC  
 klippy.log

_Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_  
_ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _

### Describe your issue:

…good afternoon, I have performed the Klipper Z offset calibration, but when starting to print the print head is still too high! Is there a way to add a g-code in the start code section of Klipper to adjust the z offset to the required amount(-0.095)?

Did you properly save the determined value?  
When you home Z and then move it to Z=0 how far off of the bed is the nozzle?

For me it sounds that you did not store the value as needed.  
As the post template, you did not delete, requests the **klippy.log** you should attach it to your next post! 😉

As I’m currently not knowing whether or not it will contain the interesting `SAVE_CONFIG` section, you better upload your **printer.cfg** as well.

Hi, I did accept the settings and then save\_config afterwards and restart firmware.

There is at least the proper entry:

```auto
#*# [bltouch]
#*# z_offset = 3.701

```

What about my question:

The nozzle is a piece of paper thickness away from the bed

You didn’t measure your Z offset with a paper though?  
Redo the Z calibration and check whether or not it determines a different value.
