Hictop I3 starts prints too high

I flashed my Hictop mk8 I3 clone with marlin 1.1.0-rc6 , everything is working fine except that the prints start too high from the bed. Leveled the bed (manual level, doesnt have auto level) and the nozzle homes to the correct distance but as soon as I start the print the nozzle starts at about 2-3 mm above the bed. I'm new to marlin and modding the config.h files but i've been learning really fast, just cant seem to figure out the zstep issue. I changed the Default AXIS STEP Settings for the z axis from 2560 to 2565 and previously adjusted it lower, not sure if an increase or decrease in the vale would lower the zaxis but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Also cleared the EEPROM after every new config, still the same.
Here is my current config.h file

/**
 * REV: 06.13.16, HICi3-1.1.0-RC6-Bugfix, downloaded from Github archive.
 *
 * A custom configuration.h for HICTOP Reprap Prusa I3 "Ebay aluminum frame/Florida BB-8 Builders discount version"
 *
 * Major Changes and Updates from Marlin default:
 * 1) Motherboard type changed for 'red' HICTOP 'MPX.3' RAMPS 1.3 control board (Power Outputs: Extruder, Fan, Bed) = !check your verison!
 * 2) Enabled discount 4x20 LCD controller with rotary control
 * 3) EEPROM enabled
 * 4) SD card support debuged, need to continue testing
 *
 * Source files changed from original distro.  Original files names will follow with an *.orig tag:
 * - Configuration.h // this file
 * - Version.h // edited version file for reference
 *
 * All changes form original Marlin supplied source code is documented for this printer.
 * NOTE: to search for actual changes for my HICi3 printer changes here, search for 'CL:'

Changing the steps per mm is not going to solve this problem, they should be set to the calculated values.

This issue is most likely caused by your slices. have a look at your start g-code for anything that will cause it to rise this amount before printing, or post it here and ill have a look. Also depending on the slicer you can set a z offset amount to help get a better first layer, i would only suggest using this to correct small adjustments that just cant be made by moving the offset.

Thanks, after doing more research I realized that wasnt the way to go and switched back to the original 2560 step value. I mainly use Cura for prints but I cant find a z-offset setting so I guess I'm going to have to add it into the g-code

Adding it in to the g-code would only be a bandade solution, something is telling your printer to lift up before printing its better to find out why then just cover it up.

Try a different slicer and see if it does the same, this will tell you if its in the cura settings or could be something in the firmware. May I recommend trying Slicer, its easy to setup with the wizard and its always good to have a second slicer on your computer. Some programs work better than others depending on the geometry of the part.

It does the same in both Cura and Repetier, i'll give slicer a shot too .
this is the g-code in Cura

M190 S64 ;{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line
M109 S210 ;{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}
;Put printing message on LCD screen
M117 Printing


Repetier is not a slicer, just a host software (communicates to your printer), you need to create a new g-code file for the part in slic3r (which comes with repetier)

As for the start g-code i see it does rise up 15mm,

G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm

Does it ever drop back down to start the print?

yeh it goes from home, up 15mm and drops back down before it starts the print. Thats where i have the issue with it starting the print a little too high off the bed, just doesnt drop quite far enough.
I'll mess with it more tomorrow, thanks for the help...printing noob, been at it for 2-3 mo

From your REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
On the LCD
Main menu (press Click)
Select Control (press Click)
Select Motion (press Click)
What is the value on Z Offset:

Z Offset: is the difference of height between nozzle and bed
Negative moves nozzle down positive moves it up
On my 3DP11 and 3DP12 I have a Z Offset: -00.50

Currently running Marlin-1.1.0_RC8BF-HICi3
