 Follow the procedure described in [[how_should_i_set_the_z_offset_to_adjust_nozzle_height|How should I set the z offset]].

 At best the paper method will asymptotically approach the thickness of the paper being used. Yet this is an arbitrary value nearly in the ball park of what a typical z offset might be. The z offset we're seeking is filament dependent and will vary by the filament being used. We're seeking a correct affect on the shape of the extrusion's cross section, a "smush", and that can't be defined by some arbitrary height.
+The same logic applies to using [[why_not_feeler_gauges|feeler gauges]].
