    I finally got my BigBox-1.0Dual connected via USB to RepetierHost.

    Even after running auto-home on the BigBox, leveling the bed etc, when I start a print with RepetierHost, it thinks z is at home = 0.
    BUT in actuality, the bed is about ~2mm below the nozzle, and obviously nothing can print in thin air. AT least not yet.

    How and WHERE do I make the adjustments? Remember, all prints fine from the SD card.

    I
    I would think that you set this in your slicer if you are using Repetier to send the code.

    I'm not sure where the setting is. Before I hit print, I do the auto home. the bed drops to z=5. The start of the Gcode will auto-home again. and also set Z lower. cant remember how much. But then the gcode does raise the bed to the proper height. Anyone using Repetetier host and over USB ?

    Post both gcode files so we can take a look at them.
