Mini IR Probe
-
Your homing files are set up to use a Z microswitch, not the IR probe. So your height error is probably because the microswitch doesn't trigger at exactly Z=0.
If you want to continue to use a microswitch for homing, you should insert a G92 Z### command where indicated in homeall.g, where ### is the height at which the homing switch triggers. Ditto for the homez.g file. Then to use the IR probe to get an accurate Z=0 distance just before printing, set up a macro containing this:
G1 Z5
G1 X100 Y100
G30and run it before you print. Change X100 Y100 to the bed coordinates you want to probe, normally the centre of the bed.
Alternatively, use the Z probe to do Z homing, by using the above code in homeall.g and homez.g.

Thanks for your help David. Didn't realize my homing files were setup that way. I don't want to use microswitch for Z homing at all, so let me see if I can get things straightened out!

That did it . Thanks.
