Z probe repeatability test

I added a sheet of spring steel, without PEI sticker, under the ender bed cover.  It gave me plenty of room.  After messing around: I adjusted the probe nuts until the nozzle's home position was just above the bed; cinched down the nuts, then measured the gap with feeler gauges.  My nozzle was 0.30mm above the bed.  I put that offset into the firmware.


Then I ran M48 - Z-Probe Repeatability Test.  Here's the result, it looks good to me.
