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.
New to 3d printing looking for...
