Z-Offset paper alternative?
-
Hi *,
I have a other (and new to me) approach to set the correct z-offset. I know that most people to it with paper or with a feeler gauge.
I used my micrometer calliper. today.
So I printed the "floor" of a cube without infill and root and with one layer thick and measured the floor with my micrometer calliper. And guess who needed to adjust his z-offset? 
What do you guys think? Is that method widely known? Are there disadvantages of this method? Did I missed something?
Cheers, Chriss

It is a reasonable method for fine tuning but the paper method is much faster for initial setup.
Generally, whenever I print with a brim, I measure the thickness at multiple spots on the brim portion of the print and use those readings to adjust things as needed.

Indeed, that can not be the initial setup!
It works very nice for fine tuning and a very good method to waste 95% of the time to reach the last 5%.Cheers, Chriss
