I installed a bl touch clone “3d touch” I got the printer to home the command BLTOUCH\_DEBUG COMMAND=pin\_down/up work but it still registers as open when up.

So how do I correct this. If I try to manually change the z offset in the config I get an error message that it is not valid. It doesn’t recognize the testz command. ---

TEST\_Z only works when running a PROBE\_CALIBRATE. This is all explained in the documentation. [https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe\_Calibrate.html#calibrating-probe-z-offset](https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe_Calibrate.html#calibrating-probe-z-offset) ---

when I use PROBE\_CALIBRATE, the manual probe window pops up and does nothing. the manual probe doesn’t respond. ---

if I don’t move the z down and run PROBE\_CALIBRATE I get “BLTouch failed to deploy Failed to verify BLTouch probe is raised; retrying.” If I do move it I get the manual probe ??? 5.069 ??? ---

You really need to read the documentation and spend some time to understand it. When you run `PROBE_CALIBRATE` it will show you the current height the printer believes the nozzle is at as you’ve noted. You then use `TESTZ Z=-0.1` to lower the nozzle 0.1mm. You need to lower the nozzle until it just touches a piece of paper on the bed. You then type `ACCEPT` followed by `SAVE_CONFIG`. This is the correct procedure for calibrating z\_offset. I also see you don’t have X or Y offsets which are mandatory to get good mesh values. Finding these values is also explained in the documentation. If you get an error about included values it’s because you have the bltouch in an include file which is not valid. Sineos already linked to the knowledge base with this info. ---

I can’t offer any more help. You need to fix your config. ---
**Author:** ![jakep\_82](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/j/ea666f/32.png) [@jakep\_82](https://klipper.discourse.group/u/jakep_82)\ **Post date:** [May 20, 2023, 8:14pm UTC](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/unknown-command-testz/8508/15 "2023-05-20T20:14:55Z")
For reference, this is just a graphical version of the TESTZ command. Mainsail is simply providing buttons instead of making you type TESTZ. The process is the same as detailed in the documentation. None of this matters though because you have your bltouch in an included file which is not valid. ---

literally my 4th day of using klipper what do you mean by " bltouch in an included file which is not valid." what would a valid one look like? [klippy (6).log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/sCUrT1HKtjJ3kUAJiyK3Su1mLZ8.log) (1.6 MB) ---

In your config, you have a line that says: `[include filename.cfg]` Whatever that file is contains your bltouch information. That is not the correct way to add a bltouch for the reason you’re experiencing here. Post your printer.cfg and I will fix it for you. ---

Do you see in your printer.cfg file that all it has are 2 included files? This is not correct. You need to delete printer.cfg and rename generic-bigtreetech-manta-m8p-V1\_0.cfg to printer.cfg. Then at the top of that new printer.cfg file add: `[include mainsail.cfg]` ---
