-Calibrating the z probe is NOT the same as setting the gcode z offset.  +Also the "probe z offset" set as part of probe calibration is not the [[understanding_the_gcode_z_offset|"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.

 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.  Like many things Klipper, you'll need to use at least Fluidd to access the Klipper console.

 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.  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").
