Simplify 3D can't home the Z-axis, might be a switch issue

    Thanks a lot for all your input, I finally managed to get things working with Simplify3D

    I'm using:
    G28; home X,Y,Z axis
    G1 Z5 F5000; will lift Z axis by 5 mm
    M565 Z-1.14; sets the offset for the auto-leveling mechanism by 1.14 mm
    G29; runs auto-level
    G1 Z5; prevents the initial carving of the painters tape

    The M565 has an opposite z-offset effect, I was previously using a +1.12 Z offset with Simplify 3D

    I'm guessing things didn't work for me with V1 (currently at V4, thanks for the link) because I was setting the M565 to positive values

    Still the need for a manual calibration is slightly irritating (the M565 offset ...)

    Unless you have to do something to the bed/lift arm you should really never have to change that however.
