You should not need this - but if your part is not sticking to the build
plate or is too difficult to remover, you can adjust the distance from the
nozzle to the bed by accessing Baby Stepping in 'Movement Controls'
under the Controls Tab.
Once the print has started, simply click Z+ to move the nozzle higher
off the bed, or Z- to move it closer to the bed. (A)
Notice the ‘Offset’ next to the Home buttons. This indicates how much
you’ve moved each axis since the print started (X, Y, Z). (B)
Nozzle too far from the bed: The filament is just laying on top of the
bed & with no real compression. This leaves a very small contact point
with the bed and will likely result in the part not sticking to the bed. (c)
Ideal first layer for most materials. (D)
Nozzle too close to the bed: You will likely have extrusion issues
because there’s nowhere for your filament to go. Pressure will build up
in the nozzle and could cause filament grinding, heat creep, or other
extrusion related issues.(E)
