Hi Folks!

New to the forum, and new to 3D printing. Only had my delta for a few weeks now. I managed to get my first good print on my 5th or so try, which I hear is a feat. Anyway, once the job completes, the nozzle loves to come crashing down onto my creation and stabbing it right in the middle. I understand that there's a park feature in GCODE correct? I'm running Marlin firmware based off an Arduino Mega. I've searched all over google and this forum, but can't seem to find anything even closely resembling the search results I need.

Cheers!

Home should do what you need. Here's the code Slic3r adds to the end of the gCode file:

M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
G28 X0 ; home X axis
M84 ; disable motors

In Slic3r you can also add your own custom commands at the beginning and end.

Can you post a sample of your gCode?

This is what my slic3r has:

M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
G28 X0 ; home X axis
M140 S70 ; Set Bed temperature
M84 S0

I think it's M84 S0 that does it, as when it releases the motors, it drops down.

Try this:

M104 S0 ; turn off hot end
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
G28 ; home
