Problem with Geeetech A30: Z Axis is 2-3mm above the bed at the start of the print

[Maddy7]

Hello everyone,,
I got my very first 3D printer and wanted to test it by printing the benchy. So I added the printer in cura via custom fff printer, entered the dimensions, filament size, heated bed etc. After putting in filament and leveling the bed I started the print and the printer started, but the nozzle wasn't nearly where I leveled it, but rather 2-3 mm above the plate. Obviously i canceled the print.

Did anyone have the same problem or know where this may come from? Could false settings in cura be the cause or did I fail at leveling the bed correctly? Or is it something I totally missed100001.onl/ 1921681254.mx/ acc.onl/hotmail?

I researched on the internet and I saw you can set an z offset value in your starting gcode. Should I just try to find a value to lower the nozzle?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, It seems that you need to manually level the hot bed.
The distance between the nozzle and the hot bed is the distance of a 70g A4 leveling paper.
