For those who don't do vernier, it's 20.12 mm on the edge that gets stuck under the nozzle.

Russ made a tool to measure the best focal distance a few year back which I have used since then.

Russ' Focus ramp.dxf
He seems to be using a different system now which involves a series of burn marks where the head lifts at 1mm intervals between burns which I have been meaning to figure out- if he has mentioned how it is done, I missed it. In Lightburn I assume it involves different layers with Z offset?
