raising Z, using code in slic3r
June 09, 2014 07:08AM
Just a quick question.
I want to raise the nozzle from the end of a print position by 5mm, so that the park position is 5mm higher than the highest printed item.

It would need something like - current Z position +5 but I can't see how to do this in slic3r custom-code.

Any ideas?

You can do this in a similar way to the home[axis].g gcodes. Copy this into the Slic3r's Printer Settings > Custom G-code > End G-code:

G91 ; Set to Relative Positioning
G1 Z5 F200 ; move Z up 5mm
G90 ; Set to Absolute Positioning

You probably need something like this:

G91        ; Set to Relative Positioning 
G1 Z5 F200 ; Move Z up 5mm
G90        ; Set to Absolute Positioning
