I see! I should have read closer. Hmm, I have never had that problem before. Only when my computer went to sleep before everything finished.

Check inside repetier what your printer settings are. Make sure "park after job finished" is checked, and that your park position is defined.

yes the box is checked and the park potions is defined because on small jobs say about 2 hrs it always parks like it should. The problem im having is that on long print jobs that i have to leave over night like 11+ hrs it just stops at the end with the nozzle on the object. I even set the turn off heater boxes so that the object will not metal over night and that worked just fine. Has anyone had this same problem?

I am having the opposite problem of the nozzle just parking at the end of a print job and not going to the home position i have only had this happen on long print jobs, for example on a set of objects i left to print over night because the print time was 11+ hrs. I had to use the manual controls to lower the print bed. any idea why this is happening and how i can fix it.

Make sure you only remove the "home etc" gCode in the slic3r settings Adrian speaks of. You don't want to remove the part where you turn off the extruder temp

2 places it gets generated

In Repetier Host: Printer Settings->Printer, untick "go to park position after job/kill" (This isn't generated into code, but is triggered at the end of all gcode sending 'as a job' via the Run Job and/or when you hit kill-job)

And inside Slic3r, under Printer Settings Tab, Custom G-Code, remove any home etc gcode from End Gcode, save, reslice. This is whats appended to generated g-code.

I'm hand coding some g-code so I can run mechanical tests on my SD3. I need to know how to stop the printer from raising the Z axis and XY going back home at the end of the code. Any ideas how to turn that off?
