 ===== Configuring Marlin =====
-The following is a list of steps to take when setting up the configuration for your printer. Generally speaking if you have any calibrated values (i.e. extruder Esteps, hotend/bed PID parameters) you should get the values and then edit the ones in firmware so that your calibrated values are the defaults. There also may be need for post-firmware configuration (such as home offsets and zprobe offsets). The following is a general list of stuff to setup and make sure are present (I would hope the printer you are targeting has most of these features).
+The following is a list of steps to take when setting up the configuration for your printer. Generally speaking if you have any calibrated values (i.e. extruder Esteps, hotend/bed PID parameters) you should get the values from the current firmware (ie ''M503'') and then edit the ones in the new firmware build so that your calibrated values are the defaults.

 At a baseline, identify the following characteristics of the printer and change the configs to match:

     * min 3x3 grid, 2 probes per pt (2nd slowed, grid ideally is 5x5)
+    * set ''PROBING_MARGIN'' to some value to offset the probe from bed edges

 Base your default process template off a similar printer build. In the case of the i3, I could base it off any of the i3-style printers in Orca. I chose to base it off of what was working on my ender 3. Print both the Voron Cube and Benchy for a robust cover of most print moves/orientations.
+==== Start gcode suggestions ====
+If you have a probe that has temperature sensitivity (ie pinda v1/v2) you may want to home before configuring z offest or get within the ballpark then adjust with babystepping with a test print.

 ===== Post-Setup Tuning / Firmware Adjustments =====
   * Printer frame skew: you can use [[https://github.com/tomasstolker/calistar|calistar]] to compensate for frame skew if you demand high dimensional accuracy. Marlin will have options to add this information for compensation.
