 Calibrating the z probe is NOT the same as setting the gcode z offset.

 Like many things Klipper, you'll need to use at least Fluidd to access the Klipper console. You can also use it to edit [[printer.cfg]] if you don't use ssh or other methods.

+===== About Probe Calibrate =====
 See https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe_Calibrate.html for details on probe calibration (being sure to read the "second page" it links to in the doc "Paper Test"). As the geometry of the toolhead fixes the location of the X and Y probe offsets, and they have already been provided by Elegoo in [[printer.cfg]] we only are concerned with calibrating the probe Z offset in this procedure.

+Use the TESTZ command as described in the documentation to move the nozzle up or down (using suitable - or + values, ) until the nozzle firmly holds onto the paper. (A PostIt Note, sticky side up, is recommended, as it's 0.100mm thick and gives us about the right about of typical nozzle position for printing with minor gcode z offset variation for your filament.)

-If you see a value like ''z_offset = 0.00'' then you have Elegoo software that has broken this feature and will need to manually edit to remove those ''[probe]'' and ''z_offset'' lines and then add the probe z offset you got from the 'ACCEPT'' step to the main ''[PROBE]'' stanza located prior in the file and manually edit to look similar to this:
