Ok thank you. It’s weird because I can’t save offset with M206, when I type m206 Zxx.x then M500 and M501 line 206 is not printing on the serial. Others settings are stored fine and can be changed.

Hello,

The gap distance between the nozzle zero position and the bed will be mostly influenced by how well the filament sticks to the bed. With my latest filament, it needs to be pushed right into the bed to prevent warping and lifting around the edges. I think as long as the first layer goes down ok, you are good to go, Getting the exact gap distance to match the nozzle is not vital, subsequent layers will be correct anyway.

Basically, all the settings listed with the M501 g-code command can be set the same way as the home offset.

The Mendel90 is a nice printer, a good design, it should serve you well.

Mark.

This is a very useful and simple guide, thank you ! I finished my Mendel90 1 week ago and was always updating configuration.h for Z_AXIS_HOME after measuring so it was very boring. One thing I am missing if my nozzle size is let’s say 0.35mm zero, we should have 0.35mm between nozzle zero position and the bed ?

Also can we also store the E_STEPS_PER_MM value, for example M92 Ennn.nn then M500 ?
