    Hey i recently upgraded to cura from mattercontrol and i started a print and noticed that its printing a bit to far in the air. And i dont know how i can recalibrate it.
    And the auto leveling seems fine, and ive tried to recalibrate it in cura but it doesnt matter.

    it turns out the problem didnt get fixed and its printing to high so the filament doesnt stick properly. How do i fix that.
    Another thing when i got the printer it came with a paper ive lost where it said something about z lift. Maybe thats the problem i dont know.
    And ive upgraded slicer to simplify 3d.
