This is the Gcode for some thumb wheels and nut traps.
when I print this, the printer does not increase Z
I suspect that there's something wrong with lift, since after re-slicing without lift it printed fine.
can someone check this gcode and tell me if I'm correct?
or rather I would have posted the Gcode, but aparently it's too big.
Edit. Lift, not retraction. duh.

Well - the gcode shows 0.1mm layers, with an apparent 0.2mm lift for moves,
up to a model height of 1 mm
You would have to include the STL for any further comment on whether this makes sense or not.
I found that Z backlash made Lift pointless on my Prusa. It would not return from the lift height back to the current print height, leading to a nice plastic rendition of a kittens ball of wool.

I used the same stls (it was two, both with 4 copies) without closing slic3r and removed the lift, and 0.2mm layers (realised 0.1mm was way overkill) and the whole thing printed fine.
I see where the z is in this gcode now, I'll check the full one when I get home.
maybe you're right about the lash... though it seemed to be going back down too far...
lift has worked just fine for me in the past.
