I am an experienced 3D printer user but have recently built my first printer from scratch. The printer is working as expected, but I am facing difficulties with Auto Bed Leveling.

The relevant adjustments I made in the “configuration.h” file are as follows:

#define EXTRUDERS 2  
//#define HOTEND\_OFFSET\_X { 0.0, 38.00 } // (mm) relative X-offset for each nozzle // Currently commented out, as I set the offset in CURA  
#define FIX\_MOUNTED\_PROBE // Inductive probe  
#define NOZZLE\_TO\_PROBE\_OFFSET { 17.25, -36, -0.1 } // Relative to E0  
#define AUTO\_BED\_LEVELING\_BILINEAR  
#define RESTORE\_LEVELING\_AFTER\_G28  
#define EXTRAPOLATE\_BEYOND\_GRID  
#define X\_BED\_SIZE 210 // Actual 235, but limited to 210mm for E0  
#define Y\_BED\_SIZE 170 // Actual 190, issues with auto bed level sensor extending beyond the bed in Y  
#define X\_MIN\_POS -38 // The endstop is positioned so that E1 is at X0 when E0 is at the Endstop, hence E0 must have its X0 at endstop+38  
#define PROBING\_MARGIN 0 // Does not function, hence more precisely defined in “configuration\_adv.h”

in adv:  
#if PROBE\_SELECTED && !IS\_KINEMATIC  
#define PROBING\_MARGIN\_LEFT 5  
#define PROBING\_MARGIN\_RIGHT 0  
#define PROBING\_MARGIN\_FRONT 40 // It should no longer extend beyond the bed, but it does  
#define PROBING\_MARGIN\_BACK 0  
#endif

In reality, the first probing point starts at about X5 and Y100 instead of Y0, as hoped. To make probing work, I temporarily reduced the bed size by 20 mm. In case of larger ojects to print, I plan to release more bed using M428. However, I am uncertain how Marlin will calculate Z-correction if the bed size was different during the probing process. I would appreciate any coment that helps me to force marlin to start on the Y0 line with its probing.

Thank you very much
