So I found there is a setting that is missing from my firmware. There should be a prepare menu item and it probes the board, but instead of just touching the build plate and moving it stays at that point until you dial in the distance from the nozzle to the bed at that point. Unfortunately I cannot get VS code to work properly so I cannot change the firmware to show this menu option. I cannot find the video I saw it on. I found it while researching what the z fade was. I thought it might have something to do with something.

Also if someone can explain Z fade I would appreciate it.
