1.1.8 is installed with bl touch firmware but I just cant get the height right with the actual adjustment of where to put it. do I level all corners first and then level bed with the bl touch? how far should the bl touch be sticking out? seems im getting close
1. Pick Level Corners in menu and level bed with knobs
2. Home all axis (hot and should park in the middle of the bed)
3. You need find Z offset (i will send you link how to do it later)
BLTouch should be 2-3mm above hotend nozzle

Ok thank you for the list. Everything seems to be running smooth now bow when I do some calibration squares some parts are thick and some are way to thin. Any suggestions? I'll see if I can upload a photo.

Hi, From your print model, you still need to adjust the hotbed,
it seems that the print height is inconsistent.

I adjusted the hotbed and its still off. its like the leveling is inconsistent. so im playing with the z offset now and currently heating the bed to see if expansion has anything to do with it. any other suggestions? I feel totally lost

Hi, For the operation of the hotbed leveling, you can refer to this specifically:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3eCEiqF_00

I've leveled the hot bed now for the millionth time. I'm gonna see if this time it works. I just noticed something though. My nozzle seems to be slightly twisted. Maybe it's just me though. I'll post a pic. Idk if anyone it the history of this forum has had this happen before?

I am now at the point of throwing this thing out the window. I've adjusted everything you can imagine and still cant get it right. Maybe I'll just go back to the regular software. I dont want to but at least I'll be able to print. The z offset doesnt even do anything. And when I adjust the height of the bl touch it just makes things worse lol

I think I found another problem as well...the glass I have is too thick at almost 13mm. THATS why my bed screws are all the way tightened down and I cant get it to level right! can someone confirm that?

Yeah no it's not 13mm thick I'm just a moron...but still...bed screws are all the way tightened and still digs into my glass. :( a offset is set correctly in the center but in corners it likes to dig in
