Z-axis needs to be adjusted lower
I need to adjust my z-axis to a lower hight than -2 mm and my print's are not sticking because of it.
RE: Z-axis needs to be adjusted lower
reset Live Z to 0.0mm
Readjust your Pinda / Spinda
the thread on your Spinda / finda, has a 1mm pitch on the thread,
One turn up, in the Pinda / spinda, equals one millimetre less live Z required...
next readjust live Z

RE: Z-axis needs to be adjusted lower
If you’re close to or above -2, you need to reposition the PINDA higher.
May sound counter-intuitive to move the PINDA higher, but by doing so the nozzle can move closer to the print bed before the PINDA triggers. For an illustration of relationship of distance of PINDA to nozzle and sheet, see
The Super PINDA should have about 1.5 mm distance between nozzle and sensor, so that you’re around -1 when your Live Z is correct. That gives you enough wiggle room up and down.
Instructions for adjusting the PINDA are in:

I put this little helper on Prusaprinters.org to help position the PINDA correctly: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57192.
Works better than zip ties or credit cards, which have less well-defined heights.
