Removable Z-Probe Height and Bed Leveling
I've got a delta printer with a removable z-probe (that sits on the nozzle) and I am a little confused with the z-probe and autolevel topic. This is what I tried:
First I calibrated the endstops/towers:
First I calibrated the endstops/towers:
G28
Then I levelled the bed:
Now I would have thought that Z0 currently would be where the z-probe hits the bed. But it turns out that's not true.
G0 Z40
lets the z-probe hit the bed, while
G0 Z34.8
Let's the nozzle hit the bed.
Now I am wondering if that's because the z-probe height is set to 40. So my guess is I now have to modify the z-probe height. But if I subtract the 34.8 from the current z-probe height at 40 and use the resulting 5.4, I am getting:

ZHnew = ZHold + Z0 + Znew - Zold - ref_height
Unfortunately the text mentions Zstart and Zend but not Znew and Zold. (I guess that's worth fixing).
Some help would be much appreciated.
