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

You can do that yourself in the script section.

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!

Click "edit process settings", go to Scripts tab, and add the following to the bottom of your Ending G-Code script That will jog the Z-axis up by 10mm at the end of the print

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.
