### Basic Information:

Printer Model: Ender 3 Pro  
 MCU / Printerboard: Nebula Pad Rooted  
 Host / SBC Fluidd  
  
[klippy (2).log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/bYPBj9SnWwYwRPzlDVmxwcxa3EQ.log) (5.6 MB)

I’ve followed all the instruction to get Screw Tilt Adjust to work, but when I enter the commande lines into print.cfg and save it comes up with an error stating [screws\_tilt\_adjust] is not a valid config section. The odd thing is that when I put in it it populated the hyperlink to the documentation which takes me here: [Configuration reference - Klipper documentation](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#bed_screws) which is the information I followed. How do I get this to work?

Most problem is, that the used Klipper version is so much crapped up, that we can’t find anything usable in the log. (See here: [3D Printers with Preinstalled and Modified Klipper Versions](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/3d-printers-with-preinstalled-and-modified-klipper-versions/20467/1) and here: [Creality Sonic Pad and Alternatives](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/creality-sonic-pad-and-alternatives/6324/1))

AFAIK, you can either have `[bed_screws]` **or** `[screws_tilt_adjust]`, not both.

The first one works without the probe, the second one with the probe.

I don’t suppose you made any progress on this one @LDD?

I am running an identical setup and getting the same error.
