I have been banging my head against the wall for 3 days straight on this one. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Printer is a stock Anet A8 with a fresh copy of marlin 1.1.9 installed. Installation went without a hitch. The config.h file is the stock file that comes with marlin, with the only significant change being the offsets for the capacitive sensor (x=0, y=52, z=5). The z offset doesn't seem to make any difference. I can increase it or decrease it and after homing the nozzle always winds up in the same place (about 4 mm above the bed). The z offset on the display reads the same as whatever I set in the config.h file. I can change it on the display, but again the nozzle always winds up about 4 mm above the bed no matter what offset I chose!
Just for fun I tried a test print of a small dot. It printed perfectly and in the center of the bed but 4 mm above the bed!
I must have accidentally set something (or not set something) in the config file to make the z offset fixed but darned if I can figure out what !
Thanks for any help you can offer.
