Before we go too far on this.......I've noticed that if you have a negative z offset where the height of the brim/skirt is less than the z offset, then the brim/skirt will not be visible in the preview if you're looking from above......the virtual build plate gets in the way! Rock the view so you'r...

Agreed it's best done in firmware. I prefer to adjust it in the slicer until I find the ideal height, and then zero and update in the firmware. It just saves the hassle of updating config files/eeprom etc. (PC is not connected to the printer). Kisslicer and Slic3r behave as expected when I enter a n...

Not sure if this is considered a bug or a feature, but if the global z-offset is negative and it exceeds the first layer height including the multiplier, then the brim/skirt is effectively disabled. My expectation is that a brim/skirt would still be generated.

Also,

If you have a negative global z-offset that is greater than your first layer height, is disables the brim.
