    Top layer=bottom / top Fill, multiple of your layer thickness, keep same as your shell thickness. multiples of .4 or your nozzle size.

    I'm having a problem with cura. No matter what I do to the z offset in the
    g-code, when I go to print it does the 9 point level but I think the extruder is so close to the bed it's not extruding the filament and all I hear is clicking. When I raise the extruder 2 mm I see it printing. I don't know how to change the settings to raise the z offset.

    Adjust the value after m565. More negative = further from the bed

    You need to remove mm from the code. Numbers only

    Thanks for the help! Everything seems to be working better! I will have to keep playing with the settings to get a good print.
