There used to be a post showing the gcode to adjust zoffset, but I can’t find it anymore. I haven’t printed for a bit, but now my print head is floating above the PEI about 5 mm… tuning zoffset seems the thing but I can’t find nor remember the instructions to set zoffset in cura.

Any help appreciated.

Are you printing with the mini or the taz?

Is [this post by Rhoderman](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/mini-first-layer-troubleshooting/2873/1) the one you were thinking of? I bookmarked it, since I knew I’d forget how to do it.
