Z height always not respected

BoA

@Ducati87 Ok then, so assuming this is bltouch

M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H3 F420 T9000

F420 - too fast for bltouch, I would use F120
If nozzle if 1.4mm too high - I would adjust Z trigger height

G31 P500 X22 Y-37 Z4.470 ; 3.070 + 1.4

for too high I mean too FAR.

ok I said just to clarify.

@Ducati87 Just one question - is that a new setup, or it was working, and is not working correctly now?

it worked until I had to redo the procedure following the hotend change.

BoA

@Ducati87 And let me guess... new hotend is about 1.4mm shorter/higher or... bltouch 1.4mm lower

You can get more precise results by setting:

G31 P500 X22 Y-37 Z0.0

homing using G28

going to Z0.0 (indicated) and measuring actual nozzle tip height. Then put this measurement value as Z trigger height in G31

or after homing disable limits by M564 S0
and move head down just to touch the bed by nozzle tip, and use indicated Z value a trigger height (remove the minus obviously)

I did it a couple of times but with same results. the value detected by the procedure is not accurate.

BoA

@Ducati87 Well... that mostly depends on probe and Your measurements accuracy. Did You slow down probing speed to 120 ?

it's an original BLtouch 3.1...I cannot understand where the problem is.

BoA

@Ducati87 You can try to add A parameter to M558, for example A4. And slow down probing speed to 120

ok I will try. Thank you BoA!

After you changed the hotend did you remeasure your trigger height?

Yes of course but every time I have to adjust the height with babystep.

Phaedrux

Could you share your current config.g, homeall/homez, bed.g, and your slicer start gcode all together in a single post? That way I can see what's going on more clearly.

If the amount of baby stepping required is consistent, you can modify the G31 and it should take effect. If it's not taking effect than something in the gcode order is not right.
