Nozzle height?
I'm new to all of this, so please forgive the newbie questions. As I gain knowledge, you can trust I'll share the wealth.
I just got my 10" iV3 together and am looking to print a test file. The thing is, I can't find any into that tells me how high off the glass the nozzle should be. I eye-balled it and it's right about 0.3 mm (feeler gauges). Is that good? I'll print it when my wife gets home with the glue stick, but I don't know what to look for in the first layer to tell if the height is good.

Hey DrBoost, I would say leave a gap that is about 60-80 percent of the layer thickness you're going to be printing at. For example when printing at .2mm I use a .127mm feeler gauge.
Hope this helps!
