And the maker's own support links.
I recently just built my ender 3 pro 3d printer but when I try to print the nozzle moves and digs into the heating bed how do I fix this?

That should be in the setup but you do run into folk that expect this to be as easy as an inkjet printer.
Just click "Copy", right?

Answer
if it is digging into the bed, you need to check your z location. the bed should be at 0 location. if the file has any negative z's then it will dig into the bed.
and then I could be totally wrong. I run a cnc not a 3d printer but they are similar when it comes to g code. it could always be a mechanical issue too.

I've done some similar programming.
Sounds like the solution.

Answer
works, then I suggest spending some experiment time learning where the other physical x-y-z limits are, set them to zero, then see how close you can come to each for reliable printing.
That +/- factor can trip you up later on design. Make sure to learn if your printer s/w uses absolute or relative movement/positioning, or both.
Oh, and on those newfangled untraceable 3D pistol jobs? Don't print gun and bullets at the same time.
