    I'm using BLTouch sensor for probing. I got everything set in the Configuration.h file.
    Everything works, but right at the last point of G29, it resets Z to zero and carries on with it, and so it prints in the air. Help!

    Anyone successfully got the servo switch probe working for Robo 3D printer?
    It is the same concept.

    Not exactly the same, but perhaps you might get some help there.

    Fixed!
    Thank you for all the replies.

    It was actually not resetting the Z to 0. It was just changing the position from compensating for the probe's location from the extruder. When that happens the Z will turn into a different value. This had me thinking it was resetting the Z to 0. I was wrong.

    So now to make it print on the bed and not on the air, set this value in Configuration.h to 0.

    #define
    Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0

    In the startup code add G92 to adjust Z offset.

    G28 ;home X, Y, Z
    G29 ;run autolevel
    G92 Z2 ;Z offset lower = Z pos, lift = Z neg

    *Note: Your Z value after G92 will be different, it depends on how far your BLTouch is from the extruder in Z direction.
