Zcalibrate
This panel supports various modes of operation to assist in the calibration of the Z axis of the machine. It's strongly suggested to read Klipper documentation about Bed level
Buttons
- "Start" will initiate the only method available, or ask the user if multiple methods are available.
Note
KlipperScreen will automatically Home(G28
) if needed
- The raise(+) and lower(-) buttons send
TESTZ Z=distance
where distance is selected in the bottom row. - Accept will send
ACCEPT
- Abort will send
ABORT
Calibration methods
Probe (PROBE_CALIBRATE
)
Available when a probe is defined. (BL-Touch is a probe)
KlipperScreen will try to position the probe in the correct place before sendind a PROBE_CALIBRATE
Search order to select location
calibrate_x_position
andcalibrate_y_position
in KlipperScreen.conf Both need to be configured, probe offsets are not applied. This is considered an override- Probe at the zero reference position of the mesh
- If
[safe_z_home]
is defined, those values are used. UnlessZ_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE
is available. In other words, only use[safe_z_home]
ifz_virtual_endstop
is used - If the kinematics are
delta
probe is placed at 0, 0 - Probe at the center of the
bed_mesh
- Probe at the center of the axes (
position_max
/ 2)

Endstop (Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE
)
Available when a physical endstop is defined for [stepper_z]
Klipper documentation: Calibrating a Z endstop
Bed mesh (BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
)
Available when a probe is not defined and [bed_mesh]
is defined
this mode lets you create a mesh leveling bed using the paper test in various points.
Warning
DO NOT adjust the bed screws while using this mode.
Adjust the screws using the bed screws panel before running this tool.
Delta Automatic/Manual (DELTA_CALIBRATE
)
Available when the kinematics are defined as delta.
Klipper documentation: Delta calibration
Axis Twist Compensation (AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE
)
Available when [axis_twist_compensation]
is defined in the Klipper configuration.
