Adjusting a 3D printer bed tramming sensor

From https://toms3d.org/2014/09/15/3d-printing-guides-setting-up-auto-bed-tramming-leveling-tilt-compensation/

  1. send a G29 to run through the autotramming procedure
  2. grab a piece of copy paper and slide that under the preheated hotend
  3. send a G92 Z10, which tells the printer / to assume that the printhead is now actually 10mm above the bed’s surface
  4. move the Z axis down in increments of 0.1mm until the tip of the hotend just touches the surface of the paper
  5. send M114 to see how much length of the 10mm on Z you have used up to # get down this far
  6. enter that into the z probe offset from extruder as a negative value since the trigger point of the probe is actually # closer to the bed’s surface than the tip of your hotend
