First layer on Da Vinci 1.0 - repetier 0.92

Hi,
It seems that whatever settings I use for the 1st layer, it does not change anything. I dropped the height down to 25%, width to 200% but it won't make a great flat 1st layer. The settings does not apply to the print. So comes the warping without a 1st "squished" layer.
It worked good with the factory firmware.
The bed is leveled the same way than before using a paper sheet.

Any idea ?
Thanks

Those settings definitely make a difference. You can change any one of them and then look at the gcode to clearly see that they are having an impact.

If the layer isn't being squished at all, try adding a negative Z-axis gcode offset (i.e -0.05mm). That will shift the entire print down so that it helps squish the first layer more. Then just keep increasing or decreasing the value until you get the right squish
