    Heya Guys Im sure I posted this before but not a forum junkie here, I got myself another R13D printer but this one is not laying a layer down to stick im wondering what all I am doing wrong here much help would be appreciated. I am using Cura, temp is set to 210, speed at 50 to 100, bed temp is 55. Start Gcode -
    G28; home all axes
    G2 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
    G92 E0 L
    M565 Z-1.05; set the offset for auto-leveling
    G29; run auto-level

    If any more info is needed lemme know I will try to find out what all I can do to provide. Thanks all for your time and help!

    Try changing this:

    M565 Z-1.05; set the offset for auto-leveling

    to this:

    M565 Z-0.8; set the offset for auto-leveling

    and see if it sticks better

    The 1mm default is really just a starting point. You may need to fine tune it to get to where you are happy. I DO have to change offsets when switching between different filament types (nylon is different than PLA for example) ... not a huge difference, but a bit.
    Good luck.
