### Basic Information:

Printer Model: Modded X5SA Z+Z1  
 MCU / Printerboard: SKIPR  
 Host / SBC includes by SKIPR  
 klippy.log not needed

_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:

… No issue. I would like to know how i can setup the z\_tilt Z\_speed or in which cfg\_part it is readout the data. Whlie z\_tilt is running hotbed moves up with 5 or more mm/s and slow down with 2mm/s. I’d like the bed to move up slowly. Is there a way to configure this?

best regard Sebastian

Not sure, but you can try:

`Z_TILT_ADJUST PROBE_SPEED=<mm/s> LIFT_SPEED=<mm/s>`

Thanks for your feedback. But it’s not documented, is it? I’d like to add it to the printer.cfg file. Is that possible?

It is documented indirectly here: [G-Codes - Klipper documentation](https://www.klipper3d.org/G-Codes.html#z_tilt_adjust). The documentation is slightly cryptic as `[<probe_parameter>=<value>]`. I have not tried it, so your mileage may vary.

I think only via calling the actual `Z_TILT_ADJUST` command.

good morning, this is the documentation:

This command is working, but take no effect on speed.  
Z\_TILT\_ADJUST PROBE\_SPEED=50 LIFT\_SPEED=2

in printer.cfg the commands are unwished

Unfortunately, I currently have no working printer that would use `Z_TILT_ADJUST` to verify. Maybe someone here does?

Oh, sorry.  
It does rise the bed slowly.

```auto
Z_TILT_ADJUST PROBE_SPEED=0.1 LIFT_SPEED=5

```

(I somewhat got confused and expected it to move the toolhead between points with an PROBE\_SPEED)

So, PROBE\_SPEED is how slow probe is getting closer to the bed.  
Lift speed is how slowly the probe gets far away from the bed.

does you have commands working in printer.cfg?

```auto

lift_speed: 5.0

```

That is what you are asking for?

</div>

yes the “probe\_speed:” will not be accepted in printer.cfg. The [probe] is in my case bl-touch.

If you take a look at config reference: [Configuration reference - Klipper documentation](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#probe)  
Specifically to the `[probe]` section.  
You will notice that `speed` is the speed of Z axis.  
Also, you may notice that there is no such parameter as the `probe_speed`, but just only `speed`.

So, if you want to specify `PROBE_SPEED` in the config. You should use just `speed` in `[probe]` section.

That in the end, will look like the config example I set above.

So, again, this is the same as `PROBE_SPEED=N`

```auto
[probe]
speed: N

```

Hope that helps.
