Slic3r is just a terrible slicing software for beginners. All the options leads to tons of confusion. Try starting with Cura for an easy GUI.

What? Slic3r has hundreds of settings (just like the demise of Skeinforge) and really poor defaults if you care about resolution or part fitment. Where as Cura only has a hand full of settings and most of them are great at the default. Further more Cura has very few bugs and good tool paths. I honestly can't believe anyone recommends Slic3r with all of its bugs and issues. I recommend Kisslicer or Cura and I am leaning more towards Cura since Kisslicer looks to be at end of life. After that I would go back to Skeinforge or SFact. I have also been meaning to look at Repsnapper again since it looks to be active and in the Debian/Ubuntu repo's.

but the which slicer is better argument is likely to become and old and unending as the 3mm vs 1.75mm argument in the end it comes down the personal preference,

my last two forays in cura land weren't exactly great, the first time all it did was crash when i tried to load a model, and i gave up after that, my second attempt got me gcode that tried to overextrude by several orders or magnitude even though all the settings were correct (estaps/filamentsize) so i haven't been back since,

my slicing activities though demand something that has commandline function because i have a dropbox/communal slicing arrangment where i can drop in a large number of stl files and they get sliced according to which directory they are put in, cura doesn't seem to have this , but i'll look at it in the not to distant future again

my printers Z home is at its max. which is 60mm.
My original start code is:
G28
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
So, to alter the Z offset (to say 0.5 upwards), The start code would be:
G28
G92 Z59.5
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
Thanks
