Macros are small programs or functions written in Klipper gcode. They're defined in printer.cfg (or files that it includes) and are loaded when Klipper performs a soft or hard restart (RESTART or FIRMWARE_RESTART respectively), which reads printer.cfg. text/html 2026-09-28T03:03:18+00:00 dshoop (dshoop@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.neptune4.help:8000/doku.php?id=nozzle_high_above_bed&rev=1790564598&do=diff Nozzle is high above the bed at HOME faq z_offset HOME doesn't take us to the center of the plate, by homing we send the probe to the trigger position. HOME is not where the nozzle is at the center of the bed, it's where the probe is at the center x,y position, not the nozzle. HOME is also not Z0, unless you’ve changed this, and it should be about 10mm above the bed, yet we expect it to be ~10mm +/- the gcode z offset and a variety of other factors.

Also the “probe z offset” set as part of probe calibration is not the "gcode z offset" used to fine adjust the nozzle height for printing. The z offset referred to in probe calibration is the “z probe z offset” or the offset distance between the probe and the nozzle in the z plane. There is also an x and y probe offset. text/html 2026-06-08T19:04:27+00:00 dshoop (dshoop@undisclosed.example.com)
