Return home after complete

[DannyFromNJ]

Hi!

How to I get the extruder to return home automatically after a print? Currently, it stops at the last point it was extruding on top of the print object. This usually results in plastic being oozed onto the print object or a hole being burnt into it.

Do I need to add a command somewhere, or change a setting?

Thank you!!

Just add the commands into your ending script

For example add "G28 X0 Y0" if you want to home the X and Y axes (I'm guessing you don't want to home the Z)

Awesome thank you... didn't realize I could easily manipulate things in that way.

I also like to add a relative z lift of 10mm and retraction of 2mm before doing the G28 X0 Y0. That way the print head doesn't drag across the top of the printed model. I've knocked a few delicate items over and oozed onto other parts prior to adding these gcodes in.

I've also added a 30mm lift and 20mm extrusion to the starting script. This has helped ensure the hotend is primed. Handy if you're printing without a brim and don't want to run a full model skirt.
