I was having issues with the probe touching the build plate as it moved from probing locations during the bed leveling procedure (only on one corner). After reading that lifting the gantry in the corner its touching, I turned the printer off and lifted the corner a little. When I turned the printer back on, after homing the bed, when I go to actually bed level, the probe gets snagged on the build plate and falls off. Does anyone have any advice, im lost.

Sounds like either your z homing isnt properly calibrated, or your horizontal_move_z is set too low.

how can i adjust that?
delicate robin
...which?
plain olive
lets try z homing first
delicate robin
That's a little awkward if you can't completely leveling 😛
Can i start with the other?
Find the settting in your quad_gantry_level section, and increase the value by, say 10
plain olive
ah i thought you meant that the bed leveling procedure could be adjusted
okay ill do that
do I adjust this using a command line?
I am new to a voron, my student project team has one and I was asked to fix it
if that wasnt obvious
delicate robin
When you say "when I go to bed level"...what exactly do you mean?
I assumed you meant qgl. But perhaps that was a bad assumption
delicate robin
do I adjust this using a command line?
No
It's a setting in the config file
You're using what ? Mainsail?
plain olive
im using mainsail yeah
delicate robin
So you can edit the config from the machine tab
delicate robin
That's the section, if it's indeed qgl that we are discussing
plain olive
When you say "when I go to bed level"...what exactly do you mean?
height map calibration tool
is that what qgl is or is it different
delicate robin
So no. Height map calibration is the bed mesh. But you can't mesh a v2 without doing qgl first
delicate robin
Press the button that says qgl on the main screen
plain olive
my printer has no screen 😬
delicate robin
In mainsail
plain olive
ah ok
delicate robin
The main control screen, not the mesh screen
There's a whole sequence to these things
You gotta home, then qgl (which trams the gantry). Then home z again
then you can consider running a mesh
plain olive
sorry for the delay
@delicate robin when i do qgl, it just says "Probe triggered prior to movement"
any ideas on how to prevent it from clipping the bed?
delicate robin
then we're back to needing to increase your horizontal_move_z
