Z-axis Offset
The Z-axis offset, or Z-offset for short, is the distance from the top of the heated bed
washers (defined as “zero”) to the tip of the hot end nozzle. This number will always be a
negative value—the closer your Z-offset is to zero, the further away from the print surface the
hot end nozzle will be moved. Having the correct Z-offset leads to a perfect first layer for
consistent print quality, excellent part adhesion, and release.
The LulzBot Mini 2 Z-axis offset is calibrated in our Colorado factory. Detailed Z-offset
recording and updating instructions are available at
