In Lulzbot Cura I can offset z slightly in machine settings to reduce squished first layer. How can I do this in Cura2 where that option seems to be removed? 😲

I use M851 Z-1.10 in the command line of the console window for Cura. Then M500 to store the new value in EEPROM.

Thanks, I will put it in start g-code instead then, as I print via Octopi and the setting generally is better across materials.

Hmm, I miss the same option with setting a general custom E-Steps value for a machine specific tool head - I guess it can go into start g-code as well then.
