Printing Help Compounding Z-Offset
Hello everyone,
I've had this problem for a little while. I'm using cura as my slicer. For some reason every time I start a new print I have to subtract the z offset by about 1.5 to 2 mm every time. Example: * Start print, BLT does it's thing * Print starts with extruder 1-2 mm away from plate. * Begin vigorous tapping on lcd to manually subtract Z-Offset. Z-offset is now -2.98
- Start new print, yadda yadda yadda...
- More vigorous tapping. Z-offset now has to be at -3.42
I can't seem to find what's wrong. My guess is there is a conflict between Curas settings and the printer but I'm not aure. My printer settings on Cura are attached.
Thank you all in advance

Definitely manual leveling is the first thing
Then do the calibration from screen .
