and does the probes behave normally when tested separately ?

Yes. Tested pin up and pin down and works
Done G28 and touch over my finger first and over the hot bed after and works
In Cura used the "gcode" START_PRINT and starts well, but after touch the bed with the 3D touch, it goes up a while and after that it crashes over the bed very hard

Hello again.. one thing I didnt mentioned... I have a Bon Tech installed, and when I try to extrude filament, it goes inverse and retracts filament... can be this the problem? How can I reverse the direction of extruder? Thanks in advance

Hello, i think at this point the best thing would be to understand how the printer.cfg is working. Try following the klipper documentation from the start and build your own printer.cfg.

Thanks a lot

was curious where you got the rotation distance 39.80 from? I've been using 40 with my Genius but noticed you have different. Thanks for this. -Chris from NJ

I'm not sure, but i think i measured it on my printer.

My Artillery Genius V1 Klipper Project (No ABL/BLTouch Required)

A message to everyone struggling with the Artillery Genius V1 (MKS Gen L) Klipper conversion:

I successfully created a fully functional, highly optimized Klipper configuration for the Artillery Genius V1 (Non-Pro) that does NOT require a BLTouch or any other Automatic Bed Leveling (ABL) sensor. This stable setup utilizes the original Z-endstop.

This repository contains the tested configuration, along with the full Marlin reference files and fine-tuned Slicer profiles, allowing you to achieve the maximum potential in terms of speed and print quality from your printer.

Find the complete, documented solution here:
DavidSoftware1/klipper-config-artillery-genius-v1

I hope this saves you the countless hours of troubleshooting I went through!
