bed leveling - fixed bed plate

Hi

I have a Printrbot Metal Plus Dual and it has a fixed heated bed.

I can't get the simplify3d to level correctly.

I may be doing this incorrect as I adjust the Z height using the Jog Controls and not adjusting the print bed.

Is there a way to adjust the simplify3d with a fixed bed?

Maybe its just the auto level built into the Printrbot.

Thanks

Re: bed leveling - fixed bed plate

On the "G-Code" tab of the FFF Settings is a field Global Code Offsets - Z-axis. Putting a positive value in there will move the extruder away from the bed, and a negative value will move the nozzle closer.

This setting will save with the profile so you can use it again...is this what you're looking for??
