Offset Types

VIN edited this page Apr 1, 2025 · 2 revisions

There are 2 type of offsets

  • x_offset / y_offset / z_offset - which are the default offsets that most people are used to, which will be referred to as probe offset moving forward. They are sort of like hard-coded values (they are not); in that, they are pretty hard to work with downstream, i.e. in the configs

  • gcode_x_offset / gcode_y_offset / gcode_z_offset - these are like for on-the-fly adjustment to for the gcode. This the stuff you adjust when you do baby-stepping mid-print

For the purpose of the tool-changer:

  • x_offset and y_offset will not be used

  • z_offset is to be calibrated for all tool-heads

  • gcode_x_offset / gcode_y_offset / gcode_z_offset are used to account for the XYZ different between the nozzles, based on a reference nozzle
