Script needed!

I am very new to Simplify3D but what I have found about it so far, I love it! I need a script that hopefully simple to attain, so here we go.

Once my print has been completed, I basically want me extruder to turn off, lift itself away from object and all the way to the left or right. Just to get it away from the object and turn off.

Ending Script of Scripts tab.
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 E-1 F300 ; retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle
to release some of the pressure
G1 Z+1 E-10 F9000 ; move Z up a bit
retract filament even more
G28 X0 ; move X to min endstop
so the head is out of the way
M107 ; fan off
M104 S0 ; extruder off
M140 S0 ; bed off
M84 ; disable motors

Re: Script needed!

Might need to be less technical regarding this, I got about 5 days of experience on the application.

Re: Script needed!

Instead of: G28 X0

You can specify a location on the bed though the X and Y coordinates. For example, in my case G1 X120 Y295 moves the hotend to the middle-back, which sticks the bed out of the printer and allows for easier removal. :)

Re: Script needed!

Put KeyboardWarrior's script into your ending scripts box, inside the scripts tab of FFF settings. The placement is pictured below.
