1. After setting up the [axis_twist_compensation] module,
perform `AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE`
* The calibration wizard will prompt you to measure the probe Z offset at a few
points along the bed
* The calibration defaults to 3 points but you can use the option
`SAMPLE_COUNT=` to use a different number.
* For Y-axis calibration, use `AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE AXIS=Y` instead.
2. [Adjust your Z offset](Probe_Calibrate.md#calibrating-probe-z-offset)
3. Perform automatic/probe-based bed tramming operations, such as
[Screws Tilt Adjust](G-Codes.md#screws_tilt_adjust),
[Z Tilt Adjust](G-Codes.md#z_tilt_adjust) etc
4. Home all axis, then perform a [Bed Mesh](Bed_Mesh.md) if required
5. Perform a test print, followed by any
[fine-tuning](Axis_Twist_Compensation.md#fine-tuning) as desired
### Basic Usage: X-Axis Calibration
1. After setting up the ```[axis_twist_compensation]``` module, run:
```
AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE
```
This command will calibrate the X-axis by default.
- The calibration wizard will prompt you to measure the probe Z offset at
several points along the bed.
- By default, the calibration uses 3 points, but you can specify a different
number with the option:
``
SAMPLE_COUNT=<value>
``

2. **Adjust Your Z Offset:**
After completing the calibration, be sure to [adjust your Z offset]
(Probe_Calibrate.md#calibrating-probe-z-offset).

3. **Perform Bed Leveling Operations:**
Use probe-based operations as needed, such as:
- [Screws Tilt Adjust](G-Codes.md#screws_tilt_adjust)
- [Z Tilt Adjust](G-Codes.md#z_tilt_adjust)

4. **Finalize the Setup:**
- Home all axes, and perform a [Bed Mesh](Bed_Mesh.md) if necessary.
- Run a test print, followed by any
[fine-tuning](Axis_Twist_Compensation.md#fine-tuning)
if needed.

### For Y-Axis Calibration
The calibration process for the Y-axis is similar to the X-axis. To calibrate
the Y-axis, use:
```
AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE AXIS=Y
```
This will guide you through the same measuring process as for the X-axis.

### Automatic Calibration for Both Axes
To perform automatic calibration for both the X and Y axes without manual
intervention, use:
```
AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE AUTO=True
```
In this mode, the calibration process will run for both axes automatically.


> **Tip:** Bed temperature and nozzle temperature and size do not seem to have
> an influence to the calibration process.

#### AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE
`AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE [SAMPLE_COUNT=<value>] [AXIS=<X or Y, default X>]`: Initiates the X or Y
twist calibration wizard. `SAMPLE_COUNT` specifies the number of points along
the X or Y axis to calibrate at and defaults to 3.
`AXIS_TWIST_COMPENSATION_CALIBRATE [AXIS=<X|Y>] [AUTO=<True|False>]
[SAMPLE_COUNT=<value>]`

Calibrates axis twist compensation by specifying the target axis or
enabling automatic calibration.

- **AXIS:** Define the axis (`X` or `Y`) for which the twist compensation
will be calibrated. If not specified, the axis defaults to `'X'`.

- **AUTO:** Enables automatic calibration mode. When `AUTO=True`, the
calibration will run for both the X and Y axes. In this mode, `AXIS`
cannot be specified. If both `AXIS` and `AUTO` are provided, an error
will be raised.
