<p>I have an Anet A8 with the Anet 1.7 board, Skynet3d v2.3.2, and the stock sensor. I originally had this configuration with the stock extruder, but recently purchased an E3D v6 clone with a Bowden extruder. After installing a new bracket I had printed (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099577" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TNS E3D v6 Bracket</a>) with the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2283440" rel="nofollow noreferrer">adjustable stock sensor mount</a>. I installed the extruder and sensor.</p>

<p>I knew I had to adjust sensor position. I went through the <a href="/q/8153/">3DStackExchange post on Z probe boundary limits</a> as well, and added all of the end positions and probe to nozzle offsets (I will list below) to my <code>Configuration.h</code> file, saved, checked the changes were there in the <code>Configuration.h</code> tab in the Arduino IDE and uploaded the firmware. After this I went to hit auto leveling in the prepare menu, and the positions were different from the stock extruder and mount, but when it got to the third position, the sensor was off the bed, and the nozzle dug into the bed.</p>

<p>The configuration I was editing was from the Anet A8 5 button stock sensor <code>Configuration.h</code> file.</p>

<p>My probe is (When looking from the front of the Anet A8) forward and right of the nozzle.</p>

<ul>
<li>My Y-axis offset is -3 (the sensor is 3 mm in front of the nozzle when looking from the front)</li>
<li>My X-axis offset is +37 (the sensor is 37 mm to the right of the nozzle when looking from the front)</li>
</ul>

<p>The stock <code>min_probe_edge</code> is 10 mm, so with my math my Left Probe Bed Position is 47, Right is 210, Back is 207, and front is 10.</p>

<p>I want to get my probe settings properly set up so I get my bed leveling back and I do not want to ruin my bed while leveling. </p>
