## Management
You can browse to the IP address of the printer in a web browser to get to the Fluidd interface - all management is done through there, including updates to Klipper and installed plugins. Any commands that are listed below need to be entered into the Console in the Fluidd interface - there's a small one on the main screen or a larger console window if you click it on the left-hand side of the window.
## Tuning
### Z Offset

## Z Offset
[Official documentation link](https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe_Calibrate.html)
**NOTE:** I've hda to re-adjust the Z offset fairly frequently, sometimes between each print. It's not a large task, but I'm unsure if there's an issue with either the probe or the bed screws or the bed itself - just do not rely on this to be accurate over a large amount of time!
Home all axes and then enter <code>PROBE_CALIBRATE</code> into the command line. From there, adjust the Z offset in small increments using the on-screen arrows until it is close enough to the bed that you feel resistance when you drag a sheet of paper below it. You just need to feel enough drag to be noticable - it doesn't need to put up resistance
### Bed Leveling
## Bed Leveling
[Official documentation link](https://www.klipper3d.org/Manual_Level.html)
Once the Z offset is set, you can now manually level the be by entering <code>BED_SCREWS_ADJUST</code> into the command line. The machine will then go to each corner one-by-one while you adjust the screw knobs and repeat the paper test, like in the Z offset section. If you need to make an adjustment to the screw (more than 1/8 of a turn), click "Adjustment", if the setting is fine, click "Accept" - once you accept all four corners in a row, the bed is leveled.
### Bed Mesh Calibration
## Bed Mesh Calibration
[Official documentation link](https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Mesh.html)
**NOTE:** I'm not certain this is 100% necessary as this unit appears to have a pretty dang flat bed; my results have not been much different when using a bed mesh. I feel that the BL Touch probe installed is either wonky or inaccurate. If and when I switch this machine over to hard mounts, this may be a more important set.

These are things that need to be set up but not done as frequently.
#### Pressure Advance
### Pressure Advance
[Official documentation link](https://www.klipper3d.org/Pressure_Advance.html)
Most guides say to run this for every filiment you use. I use the same pressure advance settings for each *type* of filament -- PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.
#### Resonance Compensation
### Resonance Compensation
[Official documentation link](https://www.klipper3d.org/Resonance_Compensation.html)
From what I've read (and my experience), this really only needs to be done if the mass of the printhead changes (like replacing the direct drive motor, changing the probe, or installing a new hotend). As this was a from-scratch setup, I already went ahead and ran it. It might be a good idea to just calibrate once every few months, but honestly I'm not certain how necessary it is.
