gap between print head and bed after probing
Hello,
I posted this on github but perhaps it has been missed as I didn't open a new issue, apologies for the double post.

Hello, I'm using the latest dev version but also experience this on a cartesian printer.
My steps are
Measure z probe height by measuring the distance between the head just
touching the bed and the height at which the probe triggers and enter
into dev configuration web page along with other parameters and settings
Clear eeprom by uploading a standard eeprom clear sketch
Upload configuration generated by the dev web page
Home xyz (Z is max at the top of the printer)
G30 S2 and the board is probed
However when I print, the print head is a few millimetres above the
bed and I have to manually adjust the max z height in eeprom until the
head is at the correct distance from the bed

Comments
I have an IR probe sensor and lower the print head until the probe triggers, note the position, lower the head further until it is paper thickness off the bed, note the position and the difference between the two is the probe height.
Whilst adding the "error" to the probe height may work (I haven't been able to test it yet), I feel that this is a work around for a calculation error in the firmware and not a long term solution.
