hi there,

is there a code that need to be added to the gcode in order to lower the platform at the end of a print and bring the extruder back to it's start position ?

thanks
Marco

I usually place

G28 X0;

in my ending scripts to have the extruder head home-all. If you'd like to have the extruder head also rise you could place (where Z200 represents a 200 mm Z-axis build size)

G28 X0; home x-axis
G1 Z200 F1800

great!! thanks for those info!
the first print didnt have any cod to move the extruder or the platform so at the end there was a nice blob of plastic left on the print :)
