Lulzbot Mini problem. (Prints in the air)

Hello,
I just got my Simplify3d software the other day. After loading the attached file that Joey gave me, and changing the nozzle diameter to .5 which is correct for the mini. I went to print an object and it does the bed leveling thing, then it begins to print just a hair off the bed. Nothing sticks to the bed, it just noodles on the nozzle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Sounds like you just need to get the Z-position figured out. Make sure your bed is leveled first (maybe you can use the S3D bed leveling wizard?). Once you know it's leveled, then try a print. If the nozzle is still too high, then decrease the Z-axis gcode offset on the G-Code tab of your FFF settings. For example, making it -0.1mm (note the negative sign!) will make the nozzle move 0.1mm closer to the bed. Then you can just tailor that value to your specific machine.

That seemed to do the trick! I was also told to lower the first layer height %, which i haven't got to work very well on its own yet. Thanks again for the help.
