Is that where I manually level, adjust Z-Offset, and then store that as 0?

no, its where it puts the nozzle where it thinks it should be at each corner , then you adjust the build plate up to there, then you run the leveling routine. I think its just a way to tune stuff in so the software doesnt have to work as hard to level.
Like get it as close to level physically before engaging the software.

I didn't get it till I rolled my own firmware. .... was fun; got it to use my logo on startup...

I got feeler guages and everything. I'll try out tramming.

So I checked - no tramming on this firmware. Now I have to check what board I have because the Firmware currently installed seems to be for a different board than what's typically in the Max Neo.... Looks like I have Firmware for the 4.2.7 board vs the 4.2.2 that "should" be installed... I'm wondering if I received a refurbished printer?

Might not be worth getting in to mess around with the firmware unless you can just download precompiled from Creality for your printer. its a newer one with most of the stuff standard so shouldn't be too tough.
I've always popped-off the cover to verify the MB number before flashing... stinks to rebuy a board because you bricked it.

Clam kept falling. Propped it up with some old snail shells.

Also, as evidenced by the picture, I used the lens instead of just adjust white balance.

The Cap has some interesting growth going on... Not spirals like most people experience out of these... It's trying to Setosa on me?

Lots of little vertical structures popping out.

So what did you decide to do with the 8g? Ordering myself one today. May just upgrade the DIY 5g Tenecor.

I've got the Tenecor running as well, but currently not lit, just cycling with lights out. I put baby in the corner. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

The 8 gallon is running with some Macro and CUC. I was waiting for the Primes to show up and I was going to install one on it but it looks like the Post Office lost them. :face-with-rolling-eyes: Probably going to just install the Nicrew for temporary and then I'll likely pick up the IOAOI light they're working on when it comes out. Right now I just have a Fuge light installed on it.

I'm pretty sure I have a picture somewhere but it's not on my phone for some reason.
