dorsai3d wrote:Many firmwares won't let you go past Z=0, so if your offset is negative enough, it won't matter what you command, it will only go to what the firmware sees as Z0 (which is defined by your probe offset).
In this instance I actually am printing a bit too close to the print bed and am trying to apply a positive offset.
I am guessing the problem is somewhere in here.
