The newest Kliment/Printrun e5b0a4f just makes a dead stop after the last gcode is issued. The earlier version returned the head near to home. What do I need to do to activate the latest version to behave like the earlier version?

Neither one will fix the problem it is your gcode generator that you need to change!

If you are using Printrun then perhaps you are using Skeinforge to generate your gcode in which case the command would be in your end.code file.

My end.gclode is the following:

G91 ;set relative positioning
G1 F50 ;set move speed to suit Z-axes
G1 Z5 F50 ;move up 5mm from the finished object
G90 ;set absolute positioning
G1 F2300 ;set move speed to suit XY-axes
G1 X100 Y200 F2300 ;move table out to remove object

Thank you rhmorrison,

When the print starts, the head moves to the center of the printbed very slowly F60. Is there an adjustment for that somewhere?

I believe that is on the limit tab if you're using skeinforge, turn it off. The head will move to start much faster now.

Do NOT turn off limit unless the firmware you are using does this automatically!

Sprinter is supposed to have "movement speed control" so it might be OK.
In any case, there is a place to put the initial speed. This you can set to 30mm/s or 50mm/s.
Then you don't have the problem at the start of the print.
