Move Z to top

Move Z to top

Does someone here know what Gcode command will move the Z axis to the top? I'm not looking for homing, that moves my Z to the bottom. I want a single command to move Z up to the nozzle where a print would start - Z Max in the firmware

Thanks!

G1 Z0 should always put the nozzle on the bed. A print normally starts by moving to one layer height above the bed though.

If you home away from the bed it should home to Z MAX, so Z = 0 is still at the bed.

To go to Z MAX do G1 Z999 and the soft limit should stop it a ZMAX but that should always be where the nozzle is furthest away from the bed.
