It was really simple to measure the offset and enter it into the firmware using M212. I'm really impressed with this little printer. I've since purchased another probe to install it on my bigger printer. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it installed.
Great stuff, can you tell me more about the probe you are using, I would like to try it out too.
