Minimizing z axis movement

Minimizing z axis movement
May 24, 2016 11:38PM
Is there a way to reduce the travel of the z axis during the start of the print? The reason I am asking this is because I have an incredibly slow z axis, that has to reach the end stop, go back up, then down and touch it again, then it goes back up, then down, to finally print. This whole process take 10 mins. Is there anyway in the firmware to reduce the amount needed to travel or remove the unnecessary movements? My firmware and host is repetier.

Thank You,
Trenton

You may want to check your "Non Printing Move" speed in your slicer program. It should only take a few seconds to home and start.
