Maybe I can use M290 before printing to raise the bed a little.

With a .1mm gap between nozzle and bed Cura should end at 4.9mm, producing a print exactly 5mm tall (4.9mm + .1mm). If it stops at 5mm the object would be 5.1mm high. What I want to know is does Cura already compensate for this somehow? Or is .1mm too small to worry about?

Also, to be clear, I'm not only talking about producing the correct height of the initial layer, but also the overall size of the object. If the nozzle is .1mm above the bed it seems to me that all objects printed would be .1mm too high.

I'm using a CR-10 S4. I didn't see a place to enter .1mm for the distance between the nozzle and bed in the machine settings, but I'll look again tonight.

How can Cura print the right height if it doesn't know the distance between the nozzle and bed? Is it assumed there is a .1mm z offset for the sheet of paper?
