Also, I have a piece of white paper below the glass bed. An attempt for better Z homing way back. Can I safely remove that since I'm using your IR sensor? Maybe it's causing issues?

The sensor works on most print surfaces. However, when using a glass surface, the sensor reading will be affected if there is a very strong reflection from the back of the glass. For this reason, mirror glass is not suitable. If there is a bright aluminium or white plate underneath the glass, then we recommend that you either paint it matt black, or place a sheet of black paper or thin black plastic under the glass.

M208 X214 Y210 Z200 ; set axis maxima (adjust to suit your machine) M208 X-8 Y0 Z-1 S1 ; set axis minimum (adjust to make X=0 the edge of the bed)

I'm not entirely sure how I should set M208.
I want Y0 to be defined as my current Y8. X0 seems to be fine already.
My current config looks like this:
M208 X214 Y210 Z200 ; set axis maxima (adjust to suit your machine) M208 X-8 Y0 Z-1 S1 ; set axis minimum (adjust to make X=0 the edge of the bed)
Should the last line read M208 X-8 Y-8 Z-1 S1?
