@droftarts Ohh I am just blind, thank you

I feel like having M501 to read saved parameters should just be default for anyone building a config for their own machine. I have been running klipper for a few years now, and trying Duet RRF on my newest build. So looking at all of this with a fresh set of eyes.

Adding a checkbox in the config to add this option with the text "Include M501 to enable reading of stored parameters" would be a nice addition to the config tool.

@gnydick I bought a 5 pack off amazon, Winsin branded. They seem to work fine, but I will be replacing them with a Sunon MF40100V1-1000U-F99 from Digikey. I needed some more Molex connectors, and checked Digikey for some better 4010 3 wire fans.

Ended up writting it as a macro, so I can call it any time I need to probe the nozzle.

; nozzleprobe.g

var NozzleMaxTravel = move.axes[2].max - move.axes[2].min + 5 ; calculate how far Z can travel plus 5mm

M104 S160
G90                                                     ; absolute positioning
G0 X103                                                 ; Move over sex bolt in the X axis
M564 H1 S0                                              ; Allow homed axis to travel outside limits
G0 Y261.0                                               ; Move over sex bolt in the Y axis
M109 S160
G91                                                     ; relative positioning

G1 H1 Z{-var.NozzleMaxTravel} F600                            ; coarse home in the -Z direction
G1 Z5 F6000                                             ; move back 5mm
G1 H1 Z{-var.NozzleMaxTravel} F300    
G1 Z10 F6000                                            ; fine home in the -Z direction
G90                                                     ; absolute positioning
G0 Y250                                                 ; Move inside Y axis limits
M564 H1 S1                                              ; Restrict axis movement to machine limits
M104 S0

Works great, thanks for the help and various ways that I could handle it. The M564 method seems to be the most robust way if I am going to run it as a macro.

@mikeabuilder Thats a good reminder, I'll make sure to move it back within the max travel after finishing my z probe.

I probably spend close to 2 hours trying to figure this out last night. It was a good exercise in doing some quick config edits and testing various things out.

After spending the past 3 years with klipper, moving to something else has been a challenge. But at the same time I have become much more comfortable editing configs then I was when I setup a Duet 2 wifi on my old hypercube.

@gtrider That might be a even better solution, as I only need to enable this move for the sex bolt. And then I would only be giving it this extra travel when needed.

The enclosure frame project is my creation. I Tossed around a few ideas for enclosing the Mercury 2-3 years ago and first enclosed my 5 plus. I took what I learned from that and refined it a bit more.

Awesome, so I was on the right track. But I was trying it after homing.

I will try that before the homing commands after work.

Added a picture of my y endstop setup and a overall picture of the printer in its current state. Still need to finish some wiring and finish wire management. Had to cut some zip ties as I didn't have my steppers wired properly the first time.

I am just setting up my first printer running Duet3d in over 6 years. And I am trying to setup something that is not very standard.

I will be using a Sex bolt style endstop on the back of my bed, but I cannot home y far enough back to touch off of it where I would like. But I am rolling over the top of a lever style endstop, and not hard against it. So I can safely travel past my endstop position. This is something that I have setup before in Klipper by defining max travel as 264mm while the endstop position would be 258mm

I tried using M208 to change the max position, and a few other things. But it would just update my endstop position to match to match the new max value. I also tried adding in a G92, and a few other lines to trick it. I have had a few setups that felt close, and allowed me to move where I wanted with jogging. But as soon as I ran my z home, it would not move far enough back.

Is there a easy way to do this? I am really trying to avoid moving my endstop to the front.
