I need to print on a polycarbonate panel of thickness 10 mm, that I stick to the glass build plate.
I found out a way to overcome the problem, but I am searching for a way to "tell" the printer to practice active levelling on the panel ( and not on the build plate ).
What I am doing for now is:
- Z offset at 10mm in Cura
- Launch the print WITHOUT the 10 mm panel
- Wait until active levelling is finished
- Put the panel on the build plate, and the print starts
I wish I could tell the printer to practice active levelling on the 10mm panel, because for now, the printer collides with the panel when practicing active levelling with the panel on the build plate.

Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks,
