# Axis Twist Compensation

<br>

{% hint style="warning" %}
This requires Scan Calibration AND Touch Calibration
{% endhint %}

We can automate axis twist compensation calibration using touch to get the nozzle offset. Simply run `CARTOGRAPHER_AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION` and let Cartographer do the rest. Remember to run `SAVE_CONFIG` to persist the change.

You MUST ensure that your Twist Axis is within your probe boundaries.<br>

{% hint style="success" %}
You can pass an axis to compensate along both axes, using `AXIS=Y`.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
If your axis twist is dependent on chamber temperature, you can run `CARTOGRAPHER_AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION` as part of your start print macro.\
\
Just remember to run it *after* leveling your bed and *before* bed mesh calibrate.
{% endhint %}

**Unknown command "CARTOGRAPHER\_AXIS\_TWIST\_COMPENSATION"**

You will need to enable the `axis_twist_compensation` function by adding the below section in your printer config. For [Klipper](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html?h=axis_#axis_twist_compensation) it can be empty, for [Kalico](https://docs.kalico.gg/Config_Reference.html#axis_twist_compensation) you need to define some fields.<br>

```
[axis_twist_compensation]
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cartographer3d.com/cartographer-probe/features/axis-twist-compensation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
