That is correct. The printer is designed to start printing at the height determined during calibration, plus the offset you set in the manner I told you.
Whatever movements you do earlier do not effect the print.
Hence you need to do a sucessfull automatic or manual calibration and then try some negative offsets.
If you are uncomforatble using negative offsets, then do an automatic calibration but in the last step do not make the nozzle press the paper against the printing surface.
Or just move it 1 or 2 steps up after making contact.
This is the position that the machine will record and where it will start printing first layer every time…
I am really sorry. For the nozzle to go UP the offset has to be positive. I had not used my printer for a month, so today went to verify and found out.
