From 1b471b482d4cc0a7b2779220d6a88f7736b34f3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin O'Connor Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2020 19:36:45 -0400 Subject: docs: Note PROBE_CALIBRATE results invalidated on motion system update Any hardware change to the hotend or probe, change to the kinematics, or change to the bed tilt is likely to invalidate the results of PROBE_CALIBRATE. Try to warn the user of that.
