I am using dual extruder (and in the near future - triple extruder), each extruder has an offset in the Z axis, and is located on the side of the axis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEW-DNo0GxI)
In smoothieware I've set the Z offset, but the problem is that generated g-code make move the extruder to the XY position and only then to it Z position, thus CRASH the nozzle into the bed.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks
Re: Dual extruder off
Yes - set the Z-offset. Go to "edit process settings", select G-Code tab, and set the Z-axis gcode offset.
Now, keep in mind that the machine will still try to go to its home location (0,0,0) if you have G28 in your starting script. But the Z-axis gcode offset will shift all of the gcode in the file by the amount that you specify. For example, if you entered 0.5mm for the Z-axis offset, the nozzle would print 0.5mm further above the build platform surface
