Z Adjust Mini+

My nozzle adjust height is now -2 above the heatbed. That is the max distance. How can I decrease this distance, understanding that the nozzle still prints correctly ?

RE: Z Adjust Mini+

This has been covered here in forum many times in last couple of weeks. In short:
Pull up PINDA sensor for about a 0.5-1.0mm. That is, height difference betwen bottom of PINDA sensor and the tip of the nozzle should be about 1-1,5mm.
After that you must do fresh first layer calibration -starting with 0 (default) Z-offset!

Instructions for adjusting the PINDA are in Step 16 of https://help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/how-to-replace-superpinda-mini-mini_179912

I put this little helper on Prusaprinters.org to help position the SPINDA: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57192-spinda-height-adjustment-tool-mounts-into-3030-ext. Works better than zip ties or credit cards, which have less well-defined heights.

For an illustration of relationship of distance of PINDA to nozzle and sheet, see

Thanks for range

Mine is close to bumping the allowable limit at -1.850 mm.   I am going to leave it as is and see how it goes. 

Thanks to @BogdanH and @fuchsr for giving the specific range in case I decide to adjust the Pinda.  I like real numbers vs. a credit card thickness!
