Z-Offset not working

edited June 2015 in Repetier-Host
I have built a custom printer using the printrboard (Rev_D) and i am having trouble with getting the z axis to the right height. I got as close as i could using the z-axis switch which is about .3 mm away from the extruder but ajusting the z axis with the switch is a pain and hard to get right, so i tried using the z offset in slic3r but that doesnt do anything. i also tried to change the home position in the EEPROM configuration to z -0.3 but that didn't do anything either. I've also tried changing the z axis position using G-code commands but that didn't do anything either. I'm using Repetier Host v1.0.6

I'm not sure what to do now as i don't want to try moving my z home switch. Please help!

    From your description I see your switch is below zero. There is a variable to go back after hitting the switch and call that 0 position.
    #define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 5.0

    The easier way is having a z max switch and only change z length in eeprom.
