    well sort of. I did say to remove filament before levelling :-0)

    And I do calibrate very tightly. 90gsm paper, that barely slides between the nozzle and bed.

    All i know is it works. I also adjust the z gap from the slicer - simplify3d has a setting in the g-code tab that lets you adjust the z gap.
    Since this was pointed out to me, I use it a lot. Some filaments need a little more smooshing than others, and I can adjust this in the slicer.
    The only times I ever need to level the bed is if I've tried an experimental filament that needs a higher bed temp.

    So far with printbite, I've got everything to stick at either 60 or 70c - and the 10c difference doesn't seem to make any difference as far as calibration goes.

    Like I say, it's how I do it and it does work.

    Ya I'm sure it works, just extra steps to do a pretty simple process. Goes against my principle of if you are spending more than 1-2 minutes to check and maybe adjust levell/gap then doing something wrong.
