M851 - XYZ Probe Offset

none Set the Z probe XYZ offset from nozzle HAS_BED_PROBE

Description

Set the XYZ distance from the nozzle to the probe trigger-point.

The easiest way to get the Z offset value is to:

Home the Z axis.
Raise Z and deploy the probe.
Move Z down slowly until the probe triggers.
Take the current Z value and negate it. (5.2 => -5.2)
Set with M851 Z-5.2 and #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -5.2.

For X and Y you have to measure the distance.

Notes

The default (factory) values are set by

(version 1.x)
- X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER
- Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER
- Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER
(version 2.x)
- NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET

and are integer values.

Positions: X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle] Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle] Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle]
