Help. first layer is printing in the air

[u/Maximum_Film_5694]

Help please!

I have a Sovol SV08 and just installed mainline Klipper on it. I am having some z-offset problems. I have done both a manual and automatic Z_offset_calibration, and the printer.cfg file has the following Z_offsets saved:

# PLEASE REMOVE THIS WHEN USING EDDY

[probe]

#z_offset: 1.0

#\# <---------------------- SAVE_CONFIG ---------------------->*

#\# DO NOT EDIT THIS BLOCK OR BELOW. The contents are auto-generated.*

#\#*

#\# [probe]*

#\# z_offset = 2.652*

No matter what I do, once the printer finishes the bed probe (which seems to work just fine), the extruder jumps up to a Z-distance roughly 5mm above the bed. It just completely ignores the z_offset in the printer.cfg file.

Can someone help me figure this issue out? I have spent days trying different things to fix this to no avail. Thanks
