Gonna follow the steps outlines in post #14 a bit closer. For now, the test code I generated has G1 Z0.350 F6000.000 listed. I am still learning but this is the first line with a z in it. Does this mean my first layer would be printing at .35 plus what ever height I have the endstop set at?

We'll have to open the question up to others that have experimented with it. The Slic3r INI files from MakerFarm had the first layer height at 0.35mm, and I just stuck with it. When I migrated to Cura/Cura Engine, I ended up configuring it to match the first layer settings I had been using in Slic3r. Simplify3D doesn't have a setting for an explicit first layer height, but it does have a percent adjustment you can apply to the first layer. I've left S3D at the default first layer height setting at 90% of my normal 0.20mm layer height.
I would imagine that within reason, slicers should be able to provide consistent first layer results across a range of first layer height/width settings by adjusting the extrusion flow and line spacing accordingly.Last edited by printbus; 02-07-2015 at 07:59 AM.

Decoded, the line is instructing the printer to go to a Z of 0.35mm at a speed of 6000 mm/minute, or 100 mm/sec. The i3v's can only handle a Z feedrate of 1.5 or maybe 2 mm/sec, but the printer double-checks all the feedrates in the gcode commands and will automatically only go as fast as the firmware is programmed to with the DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE values in the configuration.h file.
