I'm going to solicit Jim's opinion on that one. I think it looks a lot better - no gaps between the threads that I can see, but the wavery bits around the edges might be just a hair of overextrusion. One last adjustment and print - change the Z-Offset to -0.24 mm and print one more. (It's so close ...

I will note that both the .20 and .25 feel smooth to the touch on the bottom (vs the top where you feel the infill)...despite the look of the threads...

Have you ever done an extrusion width calibration? Usually, if the height of the square is exactly 2.0 mm, you will get a more filled-in first layer. Hate to tell you to change the Z-Offset again, but try changing the Z-Offset number to -0.25 mm and run one more square, then take a picture of the b...

yes still too far away. move it about .05mm closer and try again Yes but if I do, then the height of my calibration square will be off... Maybe I should adjust the bolt and use a .1 or .06 feeler gauge instead of the .15? Also, when I set the Z via the bolt, I'm doing it with both the bed and the e...

Let me ask you another question - what extrusion width did you set? (0.40 mm?)

Yes, 40mm manual

....btw going back to -20 gets me back to the correct height...but I notice the lines in the bottom of the calibration square...maybe there is an infill setting I should be playing with?? Post a closeup picture of the bottom of the last square, let's take a look...... Here it is!! Is this bad? It's...

yes. nothing wrong with doing it in software the way jules does it as long as that work for you. i just could never remember what was the correct offset when switching between profiles. I had to set up and save separate profiles for each filament, otherwise I'd have forgotten by the next day. (On t...

Okay, silly question...What is half a flat? Is that a half turn of the bolt?
