# 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](https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Level.html)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Buttons
|
|
* "Start" will initiate the only method available, or ask the user if multiple methods are available.
|
|
!!! note
|
|
KlipperScreen will home if needed and move to the middle of the bed,
|
|
but the location can be configured in [KlipperScreen.conf](https://klipperscreen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration/#printer-options)
|
|
* 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
|
|
### Endstop (`Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE`)
|
|
Available when an physical endstop is defined for `[stepper_z]`
|
|
|
|
See Klipper documentation: [Calibrating a Z endstop](https://www.klipper3d.org/Manual_Level.html#calibrating-a-z-endstop)
|
|
|
|
### Probe (`PROBE_CALIBRATE`)
|
|
Available when a probe is defined. (BL-Touch is a probe)
|
|
|
|
See Klipper documentation: [Calibrating probe Z offset](https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe_Calibrate.html#calibrating-probe-z-offset)
|
|
|
|
### 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](Screws.md) panel before running this tool.
|
|
|
|
### Delta Automatic/Manual (`DELTA_CALIBRATE`)
|
|
Available when the kinematics are defined as delta.
|
|
|
|
See Klipper documentation: [Delta calibration](https://www.klipper3d.org/Delta_Calibrate.html)
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
KlipperScreen will automatically Home(`G28`) if needed
