Have you tried measuring the probe trigger height at different places to make sure it is consistent? For example, measure it at the first and third points.

Hmm, now it works. Somehow it didn't use the correct the changed offset.

Yes, it seems that this was the issue. I've used the tool at reprapfirmware.org but I still don't really understand what the difference is between "Trigger height at Z axis" and "Trigger height on bed" which are shown when i chose de Switch Tab in the Z-Probe section. Both their tooltips are the same and it seems to me that their value should be the same too, so why do I have to configure both?

Anyway, I got it almost working by manually adjusting the configuration file, but on the first try to print something, it failed because the hotend temperature sensor failed. i had the turn the printer off and on again in order to get it working again. Sadly after it failed a second time it went into reading 2000 degress since then. I'm using a PT-100 sensor and the daughter board and i even switched to the second RTD Pin but it's still reading 2000degrees. I've even replaced the sensor with no luck. Could it be that the daughter board is broken now or might it be the Duet itself?

Sorry to revive a dead thread but did you get it all working nicely in the end @CoolM8. I am nearing the end of my build and am readying myself to start the firmware side of it.

To expand on what Tony has said, if your normal homing position is the minimum of all the axes (i.eX=0, Y=0 and Z=0) then connect your min end stops to the 3 connectors on the duet. If you use M208 to set your axes maxima, then once the machine has been homed, it won't go beyond those limits so the max end stops aren't needed. If you want, you can connect all the max end stops in series and wire them to a spare Estop, then use M581 to define that as an emergency stop interrupt. In theory that would prevent the machine from crashing beyond the maxima if it were instructed to do so before the axes had been homed. Be aware though, that until David gets around to changing it, interrupts don't work during a macro and that if you use DWC to move the axes, such moves are treated as macros. So, if you instructed the machine to move beyond it's maximum limits through DWC, and the machine had not been previously homed, then the maximum end stops would still be ignored and it would crash. Therefore, best practice is to always home the machine as soon as you turn it on, and better still, lower the motor currents in your homing file and put them back up when homing is completed. HTH
