After leveling the corners of the bed and doing a manual mesh bed leveling (both options on the menu LCD) I adjust the babystep Z while printing to get a perfect first layer.

Ideally, I would take note of the optimal babystep Z value and store it as Z offset, but there´s no Z offset option in the LCD menu. The only similar setting I can find is (only while printing) Tune > Bed Z but this setting doesn´t affect anything. If I adjust babystep Z I can clearly see changes in Z height but not with Bed Z.

Does anyone have any idea how to store the babystep Z value? (I´ve already tried adjusting the babystep Z and then selecting the Store Settings option but that doesn´t work) Or maybe how to store my Z offset value through Pronterface?

PS: I recently started 3D printing, I know how to send commands through the Pronterface terminal, but haven´t learned how to modify firmware yet.

You might want to try and adjust it in Marlin itself but it will be a long, frustrating process of trial and error. Alternatively, if you are using Cura you can download a plug-in that allows you to adjust z-offset. You just have to remember to reslice your model if you print on multiple surfaces with different thickness
