Not increasing Z during print but does increase when homing... - Marlin

Hi,

I've just installed a bltouch sensor as an endstop rather than having to use a mechanical endstop. For some reason during a print the Z axis will not move other than when homing or manual movement. I've checked the gcode file and it includes z movement: MPUholder.gcode
My printer uses a RAMPS 1.4 board with Marlin installed. I use Slic3r.

Marlin configuration.h from Mechanical Endstop to bltouch comparision: https://www.diffchecker.com/PHUSeZYj

Mechanical endstop configuration.h: Configuration.h
Currently in use - bltouch configuration.h (renamed): bltouchConfiguration.h

Thanks for help in advance.

Please note this is my first time posting so if I've done anything wrong please tell me.

You always find the answer after you've just posted on a forum.

Marlin dosen't like the z offset to be negative without updating one setting (found here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/7652)
