      Hey all, I've been having this weird issue lately, not sure what the hell has caused it but every time I start a print after homing it will start at Z=0.28

      Z offset is set to piece of paper at Z=0. I can manually step the z axis back down to 0 after starting and get a good first layer but then the second layer goes to 0.48. There is nothing in the start G-Code except Home and Load height map.

      I tried even tried deleting height map and not loading it at all and it still does it. I tried another slicer and it still does it. Something isn't right...

      I also updated firmware to the latest and redid all my config to no avail.

      Trying to think back to when it first started happening and i can't think of anything i would have done to make this happen. I use to use the same height map for months on end before re-probing. I think i ran a mesh comp to update the height map one day and i feel it was dramas ever since. Just weird it happens with or without height map loaded..

      Any ideas as to what could be the issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm ready to burn it... lol

        Post your config-override.g and your slicer start gcode.
        Also please share the first 100 lines or so of a sliced gcode file.

        @Peacemaker105 said in First Layer weird Z height change? Help!:

        What layer height are you printing with?
