Summary
Example:
gcode CAL_Z NOZZLE_TEMP=150 SOAK=10The bed heater is intentionally not controlled. CAL_Z measures the tools at the same XY location, while heating the bed adds stabilization time and another source of drift without being necessary to equalize the individual nozzle temperatures.
Motivation
The passive tools cannot be preheated while parked. Heating once at the beginning of CAL_Z therefore does not put subsequently picked tools into the same thermal state. This change waits for each attached nozzle individually before probing it.
On the test printer, the measured relative Z difference changed by about 0.025 mm between cold and 200 C nozzle measurements, which is significant for first-layer calibration.
Validation
Tested on a six-tool Bondtech INDX installed on a Voron Trident 350:
The documented 150 C example follows the temperature previously suggested for CAL_Z in the discussion on #36.
