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 2026-08-19T00:45:42+00:00 dshoop (dshoop@undisclosed.example.com) http://neptune4.help:8000/doku.php?id=welcome&rev=1787100342&do=diff Welcome Welcome to the Neptune 4 Help Wiki, devoted to FAQs and facts about the Elegoo Neptune 4 Series of 3D printers.
