Raise Z axis when print is complete?

I've just recently gotten my printer working, and am very very glad that I opted to use Simplify3D over the bundled Repetier-Host.

There's one oddity that is probably me missing something... When the print finishes, the extruder just sits at the last spot, and ends up solidifying / connecting to the model.

Is there a way to tell it to raise Z 10mm at the end?


Thanks!

Re: Raise Z axis when print is complete?

To raise the Z axis by 50mm, just add the following commands into your ending script (on the Scripts tab)

Code: Select all

G91 ; use relative coordinates for jogging
G1 Z50 F1800 ; raise Z by 50mm at 1800 mm/min
G90 ; switch back to absolute coordinates
