Okay @Sineos , I will attempt this idea and set of instructions. I did not mean to put this to the side. I accidentally missed it by scrolling and not paying too much attention. I am sorry. I know this is getting out of hand. Again, my fault. Off to test!

From the tip of the hotend or the actual gantry construction?
Seth
P.S. I will just measure both and return service.

Wherever you can reliably measure (Caliper even better Dial-Gauge) how many millimeters your Z-Axis is moving.
- For every measurement the same position
- Perpendicular to the bed or frame
- Precise

I got 2.
Seth
P.S. I meaured 65mm from the gantry and not the hotend (sorry), commanded 20mm and got 5mm at 70mm. I then multiplied 8 \* 5 and then divided 20 which equals 2. Anyway, I will try this rotation\_distance of 2 again. Who knows? I may find some effort from my oddly sort of a printer.
To be clear:
70 - 65 = 5
8 \* 5 = 40
40 / 20 = 2

Then put 2 and measure again. 2 is a good value, since it is a common lead-screw value. If your measurement agrees, then try a print.
Off to bed now GN8.

@Sineos ,
Thank you sir. Off to try a little later. I have to run.

And don’t call me sir. Makes me feel even older than I am 😛

@Sineos ,
You got it, compadre.
Seth
P.S. I am working diligently on the `first` print. I should try a cube first w/ lax infill but it is all glory and some story!

@EddyMI3D ,
Hello…did you ever get to look over the print/.zip file for use that I am trying to print?
If you have had time to look it over, what ideas or facts do you hold that I can benefit from currently for this print?
Seth
P.S. If you get a chance in the next couple of days or weeks, please try to make time to reply. I just reprinted the same two layers over and over w/out success. I am not quite a PRO w/ Klipper (as everyone can tell). Anyway, thank you for any insight you can give…

Okay,
We can retire this post now. I would like to say, “Thank you.” I appreciate the patience you had w/ me regarding my lack of more in depth reading on this issue…
Although I am still a newcomer to the scene of 3D Printing, circa '14, I would like to reach out more often…
Hopefully, I get the commands correctly done in the future and listen a bit better.
Seth
P.S. Look at my too close for comfort print:

Just came back from work.
On the first glance, the file looks ok.
Sometimes false slicer settings can be spotted. But as I said: This one seems to be ok.

@EddyMI3D ,
Thank you for taking time out to look over the print I have currently. Anyway…
1. Get the PROBE\_CALIBRATE done correctly. Okay.
2. Make sure the machine profile and .cfg file are in the same `ballpark`. Okay.
a. This was my issue. I just saw it today.
b. The machine profile had 200 mm while my cfg file had 152 mm. Blah.
Seth
P.S. Anyway, the machine, due to this common issue, kicked my part off on the last layer. Ha. I have been building this quadruped since Sept. of 2022. This last piece needed outsourcing or a larger bed to handle the print. Of course, I went w/ building from `almost scratch` to get a larger build volume.
Thank you guys for keeping open and steadily making improvements!
# Update
I finally finished the last print and quadruped is done for now. Thank you to everyone who pitched in when I knew nothing:
Although the printing on my part could have been better, that is it for now!
