Gcode Help! Trying to modify my printer

Trying to figure out how to make my Z axis to move up each time the nosil finishes extruding. Then move Z axis back down right before it beguins extruding again.

Because the nosil moves across the plate cliping other objecs and unsticking them or layer shifts it.

(example) current- extruder moves to the next point, prints then moves to another point, prints ect.

(example) what i need it to do- extruder moves to the next point(moves down in Z), prints(moves up in Z) then moves to another point(moves down in Z), prints(moves up in Z) ect.

Please Help

Re: Gcode Help! Trying to modify my printer

Please show your SCRIPT > StartScript and SCRIPT > EndScript
or attache your factory file.

"Because the nosil moves across the plate cliping other objecs and unsticking them or layer shifts it."
that's why you have checked ON Sequential Printing Object by Object in the Prepare to Print Window.

Annex:
It needs one process to each object.
Import all objects, delete old FFFs and ADD the first, setting window opens > last line > Select Model > small window with the list of objects opens > select the first one ,,,, and so on.
After clicking to Prepare to Print, select ALL, select Sequential Printing, set the Clearence-value higher than the height of the biggest object, IGNORE the warning-message, let run the animation in Layer-mode to controle the effect. If not right, you have make a fault.
