|

### X/Y Offset
|
Follow the directions in the [Probe Calibrate](Probe_Calibrate.md)
|
||||||
|
guide to set the x_offset, y_offset, and z_offset config parameters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order to make Klipper work properly you need to tell it in which
|
It's a good idea to verify that the Z offset is close to 1mm. If not,
|
||||||
relation to the nozzle the probe is exactly located. Lets start with
|
then you probably want to move the probe up or down to fix this. You
|
||||||
the `x_offset` and the `y_offset`
|
want it to trigger well before the nozzle hits the bed, so that
|
||||||
|
possible stuck filament or a warped bed doesn't affect any probing
|
||||||
In order to find the proper vertical offset of the probe you need to
|
action. But at the same time, you want the retracted position to be as
|
||||||
know a certain point of your bed. X/Y = 0 may be a good point for
|
far above the nozzle as possible to avoid it touching printed parts.
|
||||||
this, any other will do as long as you know it. Find it by lowering

If an adjustment is made to the probe position, then rerun the probe
|
||||||
the nozzle next to it using `g0 z0.5`. Create a removable mark on your
|
calibration steps.
|
||||||
bed by i.e. using a non permanent marker.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now move the tip of the BL-Touch over that point by jogging there with
|
|
||||||
the controls in the `control` tab of OctoPrint. Once the BL-Touch is
|
|
||||||
roughly over the point acquire it using the `GET_POSITION` command.
|
|
||||||
The difference to your marked point is your `x_offset` and `y_offset`
|
|
||||||
to configure in the `printer.cfg`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Z Offset
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. We start by changing the `z_offset` in the `bltouch` section of the
|
|
||||||
configuration to 10. This setting is very wrong, but it will make it
|
|
||||||
possible to move down to the right height using the menus. Run
|
|
||||||
`RESTART` after changing it to reload the configuration.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Now run `G28`, to home the printer. Take a note of the point where
|
|
||||||
the pin hits the bed and use the menu to move the nozzle to that
|
|
||||||
point. Now take a *folded* paper and put it under the nozzle. Move
|
|
||||||
the nozzle down using the menu, in 0.1mm steps, until it grabs the
|
|
||||||
paper. It doesn't matter how much it grabs, you are searching for the
|
|
||||||
higest position that grabs the paper. The nozzle should now be
|
|
||||||
between 0.1mm and 0.2mm above the printbed. If you wonder why we used
|
|
||||||
a folded paper, the answer is that the granularity of the movement is
|
|
||||||
only 0.1mm, or the same as a normal paper thickness, that means that
|
|
||||||
you could easily move too far and hit the bed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Now update the `z_offset` to reflect this, by substracting the
|
|
||||||
current offset (10) by the reading on the printer display. So if it
|
|
||||||
says 8.2, then `10-8.2` = 1.8
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Restart the printer, issue a `G28`, move to the pin location, then
|
|
||||||
`G1 Z0`, and verify that it's still grabbing the paper as it was
|
|
||||||
before. If not, then repeat step 2. and 3. until you are satisfied.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. At this point it's a good idea to verify that the offset is close
|
|
||||||
to 1mm, if not, then you probably want to move the probe up or down to
|
|
||||||
fix this. You want it to trigger well before the nozzle hits the bed,
|
|
||||||
so that possible stuck filament or a warped bed doesn't affect any
|
|
||||||
probing action. But at the same time, you want that the retracted
|
|
||||||
position is as far above the nozzle as possible, to avoid damage by
|
|
||||||
touching printed parts.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. Now it's time to fine tune with a real print. First make sure that
|
|
||||||
your flow rate and steps are calibrated properly, so that wrongly
|
|
||||||
configured flow rates don't affect the calibration. Then slice a one
|
|
||||||
layer thick object, located close to where you are homing. I recommend
|
|
||||||
a simple 50x50 mm square.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
7. While the object is printing, use the tune menu to adjust the
|
|
||||||
"Offset Z", until it looks good. With some practice, it's possible to
|
|
||||||
find the exact point where it goes from underextrusion to
|
|
||||||
overextrusion, but some filaments are harder to see than others. Also
|
|
||||||
notice that the tune command does not have any effect immediately, it
|
|
||||||
takes a couple of movements until the printer uses the new value. It
|
|
||||||
might also be hard to see exactly what's happening while it's
|
|
||||||
printing, so you can adjust for example every cm, and then find the
|
|
||||||
best setting when the print is done.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
8. Update the `z_offset` configuration again by using subtraction. So
|
|
||||||
if the display shows that you tuned the z-offset to -0.100, then it's
|
|
||||||
calculated like this `1.8 -(-0.100) = 1.9`, notice the double minus
|
|
||||||
sign.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
9. Issue a `RESTART`, and test printing the same thing, this time
|
|
||||||
without adjusting anything. Perform steps 7-9 until you are happy.
