my print head is lifting 5mm at the beginning of a print
as the head moves to start point during the travel move it lifts 5 mm
it is a wilson ts with ramps 1.4 and marlin

Are you running autobed leveling? Which version of marlin are you running? It could be to do with the firmware settings

This is a fairly common inclusion in slicer start code. It should not be an issue as it will be followed by the printing command that specifies the correct Z height for the print.

I had a similar problem, it was slic3r that was causing this to happen.

See here: [forums.reprap.org]

In the slic3r settings change: "G1 Z5 F5000; lift nozzle" to: "G1 Z0 F5000; lift nozzle". Or just delete the line all together.

This is if you are using slic3r off course.
