Feature request

Hello guys!

I love your slicer software.

Is there any chance you could add an extra line on all the G-code to drop the bed about 1 cm when possible when the print is finished?

Just because if the print finishes and I'm not around, it will leave a mark on the part due to the extruder being in contact. And then I have to heat the extruder again to separate the part...

It would be a nice feature IMO

Re: Feature request

You can do that yourself in the script section.

Re: Feature request

Where?

Would you have to code it yourself?

It would be nicer, in my opinion to do it always! Or maybe have a tick box to select that!

Re: Feature request

Click "edit process settings", go to Scripts tab, and add the following to the bottom of your Ending G-Code script

Code: Select all

G91
G1 Z10 F3000
G90
That will jog the Z-axis up by 10mm at the end of the print

Re: Feature request

Hi Ricardo,

There's a lot of variation in the little rituals people have their printers do before and after a print. For example, on mine I have a line in the script area that turns off all the motors after a print, which has the same effect of what you request because the bed drops under it's own weight when not held by the motor.

There are all sorts of printer-specific movements that might be added manually at any point during a print, so entering these things manually via gcode is a natural thing to do. Also, what's useful for one printer might be useless or even harmful for another.
