# Z Tramming for Klipper
Z Tramming for 3d printers running Klipper,
that do not have separate drivers for the z axis.

## Why should you use this?
If the printer is not perfectly square, the z axis will not move in level.
This means your nozzle could be at different heights at different sides of the bed.
Some 3d printers, like the Sovol SV06, do not have separate drivers for the z axis.
Thus automatic calibration of the axis is not possible, as the motors are not independent.
This is a solution to this problem.
But it requires some manual adjustments of the z axis motors.
## How does it work?
The macro probes each side of the bed,
then calculates the amount you need to rotate one of the motor screws.
If we have to rotate clockwise by 1 hour and 20 minutes,
it means that we need to rotate the motor 1 full rotation for the hour,
then another third of a rotation for the 20 minutes.
Calculation is done using the lead of your lead screw.
This is the only input you need to provide.
As more people use this and contribute,
I will strive to keep a list so that it becomes easy.
## How to use it?
Simply run the `Z_TRAMMING` in your console.
Your printer will probe and then use Mainsail's prompt to inform you what to do next.
Continue till you are happy.
:warning: **WARNING**:
This macro will disable your z stepper _without_ informing Klipper.
Ensure you run `G28 Z` if you abort without using the prompt.
See [this](https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/906) for the reason.
## How to install it?
To ease installation, there is a script you can simply curl and execute.
```sh
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jomik/klipper-z-tramming/main/install.sh)"
```
Then you only need to configure your lead screw lead. See [How to configure it?](#how-to-configure-it).
### Manual installation
- Clone this repository to your printer's Klipper host.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Jomik/klipper-z-tramming.git ~/z_tramming
```
- Symlink it to your config folder.
```sh
ln -s ~/z_tramming/macros ~/printer_data/config/z_tramming
```
- Copy the `z_tramming_settings.cfg` to your config folder.
```sh
cp ~/z_tramming/macros/z_tramming_settings.cfg ~/printer_data/config/z_tramming_settings.cfg
```
- Include the macros in your `printer.cfg` by adding these lines:
```cfg
[include z_tramming_settings.cfg]
[include ./z_tramming/z_tramming.cfg]
```
- Add the repo to moonraker
```sh
cat >>$HOME/printer_data/config/moonraker.conf <
