Hello, I'm relatively new to both Klipper and Mainsail, so I'm hoping I'm just running into a simple configuration error here and one of you can quickly identify it for me.
I've setup a Raspberry Pi 4 with Mainsail, configured, compiled and flashed Klipper to an SKR Mini E3 V3 that replaced my Ender 3's 8 bit board.
I thought I had everything set up as needed, ensured fans/extruder/heated bed/etc.. all work as expected. I went through the probe calibration klipper documentation and got the x/y dialed in and seem to be running into issues with the Z offset/probe accuracy. I ran through the PROBE_CALIBRATE, did the paper test, accepted, ran SAVE_CONFIG and thought I'd be good to go.
When I began the repeatability check via PROBE_ACCURACY, I'm seeing the Z reading increase with every probe reading.

I think I also have some confusion between gcode z offset and the probe z offset, it seems to want to print in the air.
