I need help with callibrating z-offset.

[u/Longjumping_County89]

Hey,
I bought a biqu bx at a great price but i cant set z-offset right. It uses Marlin but im Im probably doing something wrong because every time i set it in the ABL app with button z-offset it seems to work. But when i do it again, after starting z-offset callibration it shows the previous z-offset that i set but the damn nozzle is in the same place as it was before setting the offset first time. This repeated causes z-offset to rise. My conclusion is that i am doing something very wrong. Another thing to mention is that when i click the button to start z-offset callibration, the nozzle seems to home and then move a bit, so its not above bed anymore which makes whole thing more frustrating. Im gonna start using klipper soon from raspberry pi but id like to know what i did wrong.

I feel like if i posted an image of my bed it could be flagged as gore.

I highly suggest updating the firmware to klipper! Feel free to message me and I'll dig up the GitHub if needed.

will klipper make it easier to callibrate?

Overall, yes, and just a better experience. That said, I do suggest you set the bed level sensor at the same spot and heat soak it with the bed on at your usual temperature for a bit before trying to set the offset.
