nozzle being hit by bed

In fact, I have to lower the bed by 0.97 to get clear of the nozzle, and this is with all 3 springs almost completely squashed. Worse, even with putting -0.97 Z offset in slic3r, it obviously ignored that on my first build and the result is the blue tape being cut up and who knows what kind of damage done to the nozzle!
I then lowered the "zero stop" by loosening the bolts in the back, dropping it all the way down, then hand tightening the bolts back but that was no help either! Maybe the "zero stop" is being ignored by everything, I don't know.
Please tell me how to fix this before my 1 day old printer gets destroyed by itself.

Hi. I have the same problem. The nozzle runs violently into the bed. And tilts the bed approx. 1-2 cm.
Then I hear the click of the switch. It´s quite off. And it seems I can´t manually set a new z-coordinate for
auto-home/home. And no chance to correct that with the manual screws.

For a printer that has a supposedly "successful" test print on the bed (coming with the package) and which
should work out of the box - this is a strange behavior.

Did you find a trick?
