Hello, I just bought a new X1-Carbon and have been using it for the past week with no issues. I got home today and now No matter what print or how many calibrations I do “or don’t do” The z offset is too high. How would I go about fixing this?

I want to avoid at all costs changing the z offset in my printers profile. Ive owned a k1 for quite a while now and I've never had to change the z offset. If I'm correct shouldn't the calibration and or the bed level change the z offset automatically

I don't believe there is a way to change the Z Offset on the printer itself as it is automatic
You might need to set one in the slicer if possible

What does your first layer look like?

cant even get a first layer

#

I'm not sure if this was the cause but i started a print remotely and after the flow calibration there was a bit left on the hot end and it continued with the bed level, After that it couldn't put down the first layer. Ever since that print even if I calibrate it or bed level it seems like the offset doesn't change

Yes. Heated it up to 260 (since I use PETG) and wiped it off till it was bare metal
