I recently bought SV06 model. After assembly I followed every step to level the extruder. After auto z leveling and bed leveling, I manually adjusted the z offset to -1.85 just so a thin paper can pass. But when I start printing, the extruder does the z homing again and then there is a gap while printing. The extruder head is 9.93mm above the print bed but showing z as 0.3 on the screen.

I have also tried doing according to this video but no avail. I also flashed the lastest firmware but still the problem arise

Hello,  
Have you thought to save the leveling after doing it ?
