blue tape and Z calibration

[whaleboy]

I just finished calibration recently but have not printed anything yet. I was going to use Blue Painters tape on the bed. I measured and the tape is .12 mm thick. Do I need to account for that in any of the printer settings before I print? Like reduce the max Z height by .12?

Thanks

The most important thing that changed is your Z0 setting (how far the nozzle is from the glass)
You should have a setting in your LCD where you can change the Z0.

Yes, I would recommend accounting for the tape thickness. If you are confident in your measurement, subtract that from the max Z, otherwise do a quick recalibrate of max Z.

I found it to be about 0.1mm I change the z-height.
