feature request: 3d probe operations order (Z first) #280

Currently when selecting "include z", Z axis is probed last, which means z height needs to be very accurately set before probing to ensure the edge is in the correct place on thinner materials. Is it possible to have a toggle that probes Z first (or make it the default), so then the height of the X and Y probe relative to the material can be more easily adjusted?

Probe Z first with setting an offset, adjust Dept to match thickness of material, e.g. 50%, plus Z position displayed below and then probe the corner?

Ah. You mean do it as a sequence of operations. Maybe I can turn that into a macro then

IMO, not easily. After the initial Z probe Z distance to move before probing the corners depends on the probe result. At least you have to enable expression support in the controller, but I am not sure that will be enough.
