SAVE_CONFIG section ‘bltouch’ option ‘z_offset’ conflicts with included value

Struggling like hell with this.

SAVE_CONFIG section ‘bltouch’ option ‘z_offset’ conflicts with included value

I dont have any seperate .cfg files and save_config wont update my printer.cfg with the “do not edit below this line”

This is my second klipper installation on this machine, i have an e3max running perfectly.
Tried to get my e3pro running, however no dice.
printer (1).cfg (6.5 KB)

any help at all would be appreciated as i seem to have checked all the threads relating to this and cant figure it out on my own :frowning:

Hello @lukabert !

There is no SAVE_CONFIG section in your printer.cfg.

3

It wont auto generate.
If i tun save config it throws up that error

4

See SAVE_CONFIG section 'bltouch' option 'z_offset' conflicts with included value

5

Tried this last night.
I dont have any .cfg other than my printer.cfg and inputshaper.cfg which is commented out.
Going crazy with this.
Is there a workaround to get klipper to rrcognize a minus z offset value?

6

Please attach a recent klippy.log and try removing the comments on:

 x_offset: -50                          # modify as needed for bltouch location
 y_offset: -9                         # modify as needed for bltouch location
 z_offset: 0.0                    # modify as needed for bltouch or run PROBE_CALIBRATE

There cannot be a negative z-offset as this would mean your probe trigger is higher than the nozzle

7

apologies for the delay in the response and thank you so much for your help so far.
So i created a new printer.cfg and its still throwing up the same error.
I dont have any include commands in my printer.cfg and i dont have anywhere to pull them from in my directory.
I have included a klippy log which shows the save_config has been applied but it will not populate the auto-generated field in my printer.cfg.
Ive also included a copy of my new printer.cfg
klippylog excerpt.txt (6.3 KB)
new printer cfg.txt (5.8 KB)

8

Please always post the complete and unmodified log. Use zip if too big.

9

klippy log full.txt (544.3 KB)
Apologies, i assumed the excerpt would have sufficed

10

I became a bit blinded.
I was trying to be lazy and use probe_calibrate to set my z offset using the bl touch.
Its not ideal but i can set it manually, as long as my printer has its functionality i can live without probe_calibrate

try removing the blanks

12

i am a complete idiot, thank you so much.
forgot i printed a spacer for my cr touch previously to avoid the offset running into the negatives too.
all well and good now, thank you!

13

OK, I am running into this same problem now. I need the community’s help. I added the BL_touch to my setup. I can manually set the offset, but when I try to use probe_calibrate to fine tune and then save, it gives me the error.

The help document just says remove include… I don’t have anything included to my knowledge…

Please help.

Printer: Ender 6

Here is my entire printer.cfg file:

# This file contains pin mappings for the stock 2020 Creality Ender 6.
# To use this config, during "make menuconfig" select the STM32F103
# with a "28KiB bootloader" and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)
# communication.

# Because this printer has factory wiring, mounts, and firmware for
# a BLTouch, but does not ship with one at this time, default values
# for the sensor have been specified, but disabled, in anticipation of
# future revisions or user modification. User should take care to
# customize the offsets, particularly z-offset, for their specific unit.

# If you prefer a direct serial connection, in "make menuconfig"
# select "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and select
# serial (on USART3 PB11/PB10), which is broken out on the 10 pin IDC
# cable used for the LCD module as follows:
# 3: Tx, 4: Rx, 9: GND, 10: VCC

# Flash this firmware by copying "out/klipper.bin" to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The firmware
# filename must end in ".bin" and must not match the last filename
# that was flashed.

# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.

@Sineos Those spaces are the problem. They are present in the original (example) file that was copied for the Ender 6, but if they are there then it won’t save_config. The knowledge base article (which looks like you wrote it, at SAVE_CONFIG section 'bltouch' option 'z_offset' conflicts with included value should be updated with this possible fix as well, it would have saved me hours of searching and needlessly asking this question. Maybe something like “Make sure that the configuration section for BL-Touch does not have any preceding spaces. Example…”

Thanks!

Not really; they are only present if you carelessly uncomment the relevant sections and leave the blanks dangling.

Generally, I agree to add this error scenario, as the error message itself does not clearly indicate the cause.

16

Done. See SAVE_CONFIG section 'bltouch' option 'z_offset' conflicts with included value
