Found a interesting new (to me) funktion in this video. He is adjusting the z probe while printing the first layer… Does anyone know if this is possible to add to any marlin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_LqgABOICQ

IIRC it’s called “babystepping”

Thx! Looks right, but I dont have a lcd :confused: Running octoprint… Is there no code to send in the terminal?

This is a fantastic feature!!

We use baby stepping in our paste extruder firmware… Pretty cool.

Joseph, where is the Marlin code posted? Id love to see your code on the mesh leveling bit.

Where is it posted?

I didn’t know z can be adjusted on the fly… I’d like to know where in Marlin I should look for this. Thx

Instead of adjusting “on the fly”, Marlin supports G29 which does auto leveling. This should take care of auto Z probe.

What an awesome little way to adjust it!

I think what he meant by on the fly is being able to fix your first layer if it somehow got out of adjustment. Then I assume he just saves the offset to his eeprom similar to M212?

MatterControl allows for baby-stepping with no adjustments to firmware.

They maintain own fork of Marlin.
