Default S3d behavior causes hotend to pit the buildplate

s3d initiates the print when the hotend has reached temp, then i have it set in gcode to home all axes which is does in the bottom left corner, but for reasons unknown s3d makes it go to the center of the buildplate to home z again which causes the hotend to melt and partially crater the PEI plate. My prints have begun to sag where it keeps hitting, is there any way to stop this behavior?

Re: Default S3d behavior causes hotend to pit the buildplate

Everything the printer does at the beginning of the print is in your starting script. So just edit that to whatever you want.

If the problem is simply that the object starts printing too low, then just increase your Z-axis offset on the G-Code tab.

Is the purpose of this forum to tell people that there are no problems because every problem ive sought help for is met with the same flippant attitude.

No, this behavior is not in my starting script, no where is it set to tell it to move to the center of the plate and push the hotend into the buildplate after it has already homed all axes. This is a behavior that only happens when using s3d.

What kind of printer are your using?
Can you attached a factory file that's causing you trouble?
