Only issue is that I don't have the T8 on my printer.

Seriously ready to give up and bin it, total waste of time for the last week. I cannot understand how the stock printer can have so many issues installing something that has detailed instructions.o

"If you have some experience with Arduino, you can try to add the "z offset" menu in Ultralcd.cpp" Adding it is easy, knowing what to add and where to add it is difficult. Can anyone help with what would be needed? The issue is if I try to do an M851 Zxxxxx I get the following echo:Z Offsetz_min: -1...

I can't use M851 as I cant then save it to eeprom for some reason, also as per below, all offsets keep defaulting back to a hardcoded offset of 1.4mm

Is it normally this hard to set up? This is a completely stock printer.

Hi, already done that, I have played with the z offset in the firmware and changed it to many settings, but because it keeps defaulting back to the hardcoded value, it’s not working.

If i go in through the printer controls and restore failsafe i can get the z offset to show as that which is set in the firmware, however it then resets itself to 1.4 every time

Ideas?

When I try and follow some of the instruction for the M851 command, it returns an echo of

echo:Z Offsetz_min: -15z_max: -5

This effectively does not allow me to adjust within the parameters needed..... so what now?

Currently I have a paper weight for a 3d printer

ok, so the issue seems to be as follows. I have set define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.4 However, when I follow the calibration, I need to raise the extruder from the bed by 1.12 mm So following the calibration i do this M851 Z1.12 ; to set the offset you got in the previous step. M500 ; Stores ...

Thanks will try the bottom calibration part

Folks Hoping you can help me out, I just installed the 3D touch bed leveling sensor.... printed the right mount, wired it to the board correctly, updated the firmware correctly (Checked this 3 times) I can send the G code to it to drop the pin, raise the pin self test etc, all woorking fine. I added...
