What does extensive Z-offset processing in Creality 4.8 slicer mean? How does it differ from a simple Z-offset setting?

I am facing a problem where the nozzle begins scrapping only on one side of the print as the print thickness builds up on the bed. I am building a skirt comprising 10 rasters as well and over there the bed level appears to be pretty uniform on all…

Z-offset issues with Slic3r and Da Vinci Nano

I was attempting to use Slic3r 1.3.0 to print to my Da Vinci Nano, using MiniMover (a replacement for xyzprint) to load the G-code. The print seemed to be a couple of millimeters off of the bed, but adding neither 2 or -2 offset in Slic3r…

During a print, why must I continually adjust the Z offset to a more neagative number to keep the nozzle from air printing?

The nozzle is not clogged. After an adjustment, I get two to three good printed layers then the nozzle begins to lift away from the print. If I do not adjust the Z offset more negatively, then the print begins to go airborne in very small…

After leveling the corners of the bed and doing a manual mesh bed leveling (both options on the menu LCD) I adjust the babystep Z while printing to get a perfect first layer. Ideally, I would take note of the optimal babystep Z value and store it as…

I have an Ender 3 Pro which I recently added an SKR Mini E3 v2.0 with Marlin and BLTouch. I have run into an odd issue where roughly the first 10 mm of the print are compressed into ~7 mm of Z height. I don't think its mechanical based on the…

After watching every possible YouTube video on the subject and reading any source available, and although I'm a PhD and quite computer savvy, I still can't make my Anet A6 (no probe) behave in terms of Z offset. I upgraded to silicone bed buffers…
