Always need to adjust z height every time I start a new print

Hi guys I am encountering this problem whereby I will need to so live adjust z height to achieve good cohesion between the plastic and the print bed. It appears that every time I start a new print, I need to live adjust to lower the z height. Despite the fact that the previous adjustment is recorded but I will still need to lower the z height further to achieve good layer. My PINTA probe is properly secured and also fixed at the correct height as suggested by the handbook. Please help me out guys! Thanks in advance!

What software version? Did you run V2Calibration.gcode?

You need to download the latest v2calibration gcode from http://www.prusa3d.com/drivers/ , run it, adjust while printing and let it finish. The Z adjust value should be automatically stored after that. Also be sure to keep your bed clean, i.e. by cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol. A clean bed allows for better first layer adhesion.

Is this the problem causing the problem?

"Reset live adjust on XYZ calibration" on 3.0.8. Does this happen when pressing the stop button? Do you press the stop button after each print?

I remember I did a v2 calibration before but I will run it again to see if it solve the issue. And for the pressing of stop before print finish. I don't always press stop before a print finish less there is a problem with the print. Thanks guys

How about the stop button after a print? Only ask to see if it might cause a reset.

Thanks for the wonderful advice. After I run the V2calibration, everything is back to normal! Thanks again 😆
