How to get Z=0 using the naked eye

You don't. Especially not on a 6 hour print as you're rushing out the door heading to work.

I wanted to get the thing started before I left in the morning and just used my eye for Z0. The part actually stuck for a while as you can see it in the picture... but the bottom of the print showed I had my nozzle WAY too high. It was almost a fully round extrusion on the bottom.

Just cruising the forum and I ran into your post. It looked like a tutorial on how to make a plate of spaghetti and gave me a good laugh.
Thanks for the chuckles and I bet you don't set your Z0 by eye again!
