Nozzle Height Offset Nozzle height offset is the adjustment of the nozzle’s starting height above the print bed, crucial for first layer adhesion. It compensates for minor bed unevenness or material variations. Positive offsets raise the nozzle, reducing squishing, while negative offsets lower it for better adhesion. Digital bed leveling systems use sensors to calculate accurate offsets. Proper nozzle height offset enhances layer bonding, reduces warping, and prevents nozzle clogging. It is especially important when switching between different print surfaces or materials. |
