could we get a setting to specify the true zero for z?

So, on the Raise 3d N2 plus, when the bed "zeros" it uses a set screw that is typically calibrated to .2 mm above the bed to avoid accidental contact. But as I understand it, S3D treats that as the actual bed height, which can affect first layer adhesion. Could we please get a setting that would allow us to specify "true" zero?

Isn't that what the Global-Z setting is for??? To vertically fine tune the zero point of the GCode in relation to the physical position of the print bed......the physical position of the print bed having been resolved either manually or by means of a mechanical and/or electrical bed levelling system based on a physical sensor.

Or use a thinner gauge for your setting. I set my N2 bed height/level with the bed hot and I use a .001" feeler gauge. That's usually pretty close to the right setup

Got a link to where you got that feeler gauge.. smallest size in all the sets I found were .0015

Got that feeler gunge the other day and am wondering do cut this 12 piece of tissue paper (.001 is really thin) to a more usable length or leave it as is. If you leave it, how do you store it so it does not get bent and damaged? I was a mechanic for a decade and never used gauges this thin.. If the are not cut down, what are they normally used for at this length?
