Storing the value to be retained for future prints, the value needs to be stored to memory (using G-code M500 or an equivalent save settings from the menu of the printer controller).

When storing such an offset you basically change the offset from the endstop position, this can be done with G-code M206. The paper levelling method is a manual/mechanical Z offset that can be extended with the value changed by the menu. during printing of the first layer by turning the jog dial for Z babystepping. Using the menu of a Marlin operated printer you can manually adjust this value e.g. Basically this is an offset from the endstop position. This is obtained from levelling the bed putting a piece of A4/Letter paper in between the nozzle and build plate during levelling of the bed. Positive offset: G0 F4285.7 X81.669 Y84.791 Z0.603 adjusted by z offsetĪ Z offset is the distance between the nozzle and the build plate surface that is needed for good adhesion. The layer numbered LAYER:0 will start printing at: This should work (if not, this implies the plugin is defective, version 3.5.7 appears to work as it should which is the latest version to date), the G-code is parsed (as in post-processed) by the plugin to recalculate all Z values (a redefinition of the Z level with G92 might have been a lot easier.), as an example an object is sliced without an offset, a negative offset (-0.333 mm) and a positive offset (0.333 mm) below. This does require the installment of a plugin from the Ultimaker Cura "Marketplace" called "Z Offset Setting" by developer "fieldOfView". Z offset in Cura is nothing more than an additional increase/decrease in height calculated throughout the whole file.
