I just installed the CR Touch kit on my Ender 3 Pro. Everything is wired up, but I can’t seem to get the Z-Axis offset correct. My process is:

  1. Auto-Home
  2. Step the Z-Axis down until there’s slight resistance on a sheet of paper between the nozzle and bed
  3. Take that value (Roughly -1.3) and put it into the Z-Axis Offset value
  4. Level bed

All of this works, but when the bed is leveling, the CR Touch needle is hitting the bed way earlier than the nozzle by maybe a few mm. When I go to print, there doesn’t seem to be adhesion in some places on the glass bed.

What am I doing wrong? :(

Wait, sorry. What’s supposed to touch the bed? The hot end or the ABL sensor?
