Z-offset not apparently changing

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Ender 3 Pro
MCU / Printerboard: Skr Mini E3 V3
Host / SBC
klippy.log (2.4 MB)

Describe your issue:

I can not adjust the z offset with the toolhead buttons or to load up properly (way too close to the bed. Also kind of new to klipper if any other things seam wrong please let me know

printer.cfg (7.1 KB)

Not sure that I understand what you are reporting.

As a general remark:
When babystepping the effect is not immediately given, since Klipper puts this command at the end of its current gcode queue.
This means is may be executed significantly later, in fact, when the babystepping command is due in the queue position.

my first layers are way to close and i thought adjusting that by a lot would help

This can be a bit tedious and should not be done with the model to print.

Take a rectangular object 120mm * 40mm * 0.2mm (X * Y * Z), set the slicer to an infill, that goes from left to right and vice versa.

Start to print, move Z up or down as it is needed. Wait a bit until it shows up.
Repeat until it is fine.

If not: Start again without resetting the Z-offset.

Then save the setting with Z_OFFSET_APPLY_PROBE or with Z_OFFSET_APPLY_ENDSTOP if you have a Z-endstop
Then do a SAVE_CONFIG to store the setting.

Something else to keep in mind that I think catches people who aren’t used to it off guard…

Having a mental reference to the actual SIZE of those babysteps.

.05mm = 50 microns = Roughly the width of a human hair = About 1/2 to 2/3rds of the thickness of a napkin

.025mm = 25 microns = Half the thickness of a human hair = the size of a white blood cell = about the size of a mold spore

.01mm = 10 micron = Roughly the diameter of a single grain of talcum powder

.005 = 5 micron = Somewhere between the size of a bacteria and a red blood cell

So you can babystep for a loooooooong time before you start to see any major changes.
