Any way to get the probe command to show how much the Z axis changed when the Z is updated?

    Often when I probe I'd like to know how much the Z axis changed. Good way to tell just how flat a surface is. Can that info be added to the probe confirmation screen?

    in the meantime you can do it yourself.
    in the Serial Console give $# which shows data like
    Code:
    [09:42:50] [ $# ] [G54:-60.000,-50.000,-20.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G55:123.000,321.000,-3.140]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G56:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G57:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G58:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G59:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G28:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G30:-100.000,-97.000,3.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [G92:0.000,0.000,0.000]
[09:42:50] [ $# ] [TLO:0.000]
    showing that my Z offset for G54 is -20.
    compare that to the offset after your probe and will know how much it changed.
