Is there a way to....

Slow the gantry speed down from the home axis to the point where the extruder purges. Its a little too fast for my liking, its slamming the gantry.

Thanks

Under the scripts tab find the starting gcode. There is probably something like

G1 X?? Y?? F???
Change the F to something slower.

If you go to the Scripts tab, and copy-paste your starting G-Code, I could change the speeds for you.

Change that bolded section to F225 and let me know how that works for you
