Auto-Tramming with different offsets for different materials/

Hello Everyone,

Not sure where to post this as it has elements from all over...

Basic's:
Printer i3 Prusa Clone
All Aluminum Heated Bed
E3D Titan, E3D V6
4mm Inductive Sensor
OctoPrint
Marlin
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -0.4

So basically as it is right now when I print something with TPU it's rock solid. No problems at all. It sticks to the bed well, the first layer is great. Now when I switch to ABS I have to change that offset to -0.3 or so. This solution works, but it isn't the easiest thing to do for me since I have to unplug from octo, plug in computer, etc.

Looking for a way to do this in the g code so that I can put it in my profile (machine settings in Cura 2.5) I tried M212 Z-0.x (with several heights) and that didn't do anything.

Just saw someone say M206 would also do it but that didn't do anything either.

You're looking for M851 which changes that exact value.

But you could just use different first layer height settings in the material profiles of your slicer.

Hmm, guess I didn't realize what that meant... I always thought it was the thickness but now that I'm looking at it in the intended way I realize there's a layer thickness one too!

Giving it a shot now.
