Z-Offset Issue using Pi

AstroBox Questions
#1

Hello,
I am new to 3D printing. I have a Robo 3D R1+. I use Matter Control for slicing. I have been using a Rasberry Pi to be able to monitor the printer remotely. When I first set up the Pi I was able to do a few prints just fine. Now when I run the prints directly from Matter Control it is fine. However, when I run though the Pi the Z-offset is not right and it is printing way too high. I do not see a place in Astrobox to change the Z-Offset. Does the Z-Offset get saved in the G-code when I export the file? How can I fix the Z-offset when using the PI.

Thank you,
Lesley Farquhar

Do you have an LCD screen on your machine where you can adjust the “z” offset manually?

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.

No we do not have a LCD for the printer.

I am having the same z offset issue using astro print with my Robo R1+ printer. No I do not have an LCD display attached to my robo printer I built an astrobox so that I could print remotely I have 2 Robo R1+ printers and would love to be able to control and watch them when I am not home. The Z offset definitely needs to come up to about a 4 or 5. it just digs in to my bead and rips the glue right off of it.
