There is gcode_ You should set all the [tool_probe] offsets as well though. If you are only using a single tool, you can home with that tool, and it will use the offset in the [tool_probe] section. You won't need to home with your primary tool first then before you start a print. To try and further clarify. Lets say you have 3 tools, T0, T1, and T2. We will say that T0 is your "primary" tool. Setup the probe z_offset like you would any other printer. Make sure the offset is set in z_offset (IE, make sure when you home and go to Z0, the nozzle is actually in that spot). Its location in x/y/z is always going to be 0 in relation to the other tools. So after T0 is homed, T1 and T2 (may) need to have their gcode_(x/y/z)_offset changed so they match the location that the primary tool actually is. There are 2 main ways of doing this. You can use a test print to print layers on top of or next to each other (something like this: [Nozzle Alignment Assist](https://www.printables.com/model/109267-nozzle-alignment-assist)) or you can use a camera (something like [kTAMV Klipper Tool Alignment](https://github.com/TypQxQ/kTAMV) or [IDEX Nozzle Calibration Tool](https://github.com/Life0fBrian/Brians-IDEX-Nozzle-Calibration-tool)). + +## Dock Positions + +When setting your dock position in your tool config, X and Y are pretty self explanatory.
