  1. I am trying to get my Pulse XE to work with Cura. It prints and communicates with Cura but the problem is it wants to print above the bed. When I go to the monitor and type the G-Code G1 Z0 it sends the nozzle tip to Z0 which is about 2.1mm above the print bed (this is normal because Z0 is the same in the Matterhackers slicer). I tried dowloading the Z-Offset plugin but it wont allow me to set the offset to the value of -2.1mm. I tried changing the Start G-code and everything works fine until the nozzle moves to the center to start printing and the nozzle moves back to 2.1mm above the bed. I tried sending the command M851 Z-2.1; M500, that didn't work so I tried putting it into the start G-code and that didn't work either. I sliced a file and looked at the G-code and after the start G-code it moves to Z0.3 on the G0 command. I decided to just move the model down -2.1mm below the print bed and sliced it, same Z movement on the first G0 command. I thought maybe if I added an auto bed leveling command it would save the probe offset but it wont even run a G28, and when I tried a G30 the probe didn't deploy and it just ran it down through the build plate. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this problem, I even tried to trick the slicer into thinking my Z build volume was bigger than it is (210mm is normal, i set it to 220mm) even that didn't work. If anyone knows how I can fix this z-offset problem please let me know. I want to use Cura so bad with this printer.
