GCODE to establish sensor-based home in Z and in X/Y:
G28 Z0 ; home Z
G28 X0 Y0 ; home X/Y

GCODE to insert BEFORE first move, assuming 28.2 as your calculated Z-Zero above absolute Zero:
M660 H2 Z28.2 ; set tool height for tool two (Z offset)

GCODE to insert ON first move, 
Before: G1 Z0.275 F360 ; move to next layer (0)
After:  G1 Z0.275 F360 H2 ; move to next layer (0) and invoke head Z offset for this tool

Please complete the steps above for your model of printer before printing.
