Z offset problem
I can't calibrate the z-offset
If I use the PROBE-CALIBRATE comand then the bed doesn't go beyond a certain point(it goes up and come backs down) when using anything less than the -1 option like -0.1
If I use the z-offset section under toolhead
It # the bltouch offset and gives me an error saying the z-offset section must be specified
What to do?

if i accept it and save it comments out the zoffset under the bltouch sensor and gives me an error saying itsì has to be specified
i recenty tried adjusting it manually
ine the configs(zoffset under bltouch) i cant put negative numbers and if i go lower than 1.300/1.400 the nozzle goes up instead of going down
help i cant adjust it
I uncommented the z-offset in bltouch section to take the video and this is what happens I can't fine tune it, and even if I could I can't use the printer because of the problem I described above
@blacksmithforlife updated this one
If I use the PROBE-CALIBRATE comand then the bed doesn't go beyond a certain point(it goes up and comes back down)it is coming back down to the original location plus the amount you just told it. This is normal
Oh ok thanks, what about the problem of z-offset in the bltouch section? How do I deal with that?
I'm an idiot that didn't see it after taking a video my bad
I think you broke that SAVE_CONFIG system of klipper.
What happens when you hit the "SAVE OFFSET" button, is that klipper creates a section at the end of your printer.cfg
It will also comment out the z_offset in the bltouch section and instead use the value from the generated section.
The problem is that your printer.cfg has 6 sections created by SAVE_CONFIG, while normally there must be only a single one.
I think it keeps adding new sections, everytime you try to save stuff, but never uses these values.
I suspect that the reason for this is, that you added settings after the first SAVE_CONFIG section, which broke the mechanism.
1. Delete all of the SAVE_CONFIG sections
2. Uncomment the z_offset and mabye other settings, that got commented out (see if there are any error messages).
3. Re-run the offset calibration, and save the offset.
You should get a single SAVE_CONFIG section below all your user code. It has to stay this way, so insert any new code above it.
I see, thanks for the help I'll try it out and let you know👍🏼
It worked thank you very much for the help, I deleted all the save_config sections uncommented the z-offset in the bltouch section and re did probe calibration, after that I checked the config file and there was a single save config section with bltouch z-offset commented out
Without errors
Thanks you are THE MAN
now I'm off to the fix my print troubleshooting section hahaah
Great success, glad to hear
