I have the S1 (non pro version). I purchased it around a month ago and have been loving it! Sure, it requires a little bit of tinkering, but ultimately if I have the z-offset correct for the first layer, it prints great. I imagine there are quicker printers out there, and ones that have more features. But for an entry printer, I cant complain. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
How do you figure out the z-offset?
Run the auto level on the printer. Once it finishes it will zero out where it thinks the z is. You can then adjust it down to the correct level. Too high, stuff won't adhere to the plate. Too low, it squishes it. Just right, and you get the picture.
You can use a piece of paper as a guide or a feeler gauge if you have one. I'd imagine the steps are very similar on the s1 pro.
This doesn't seem like too big a deal.
