Topic: Z home problem after job

Hi all,

I recently re-setup my machine after a hard drive crash, and I decided to update some of my config files and stuff for the printer. Since my only form of troubleshooting is: push-buttons-until-something-looks-right, I did not really have a good idea of what my previous settings were.

The problem I am having is when my print finishes. Instead of just going to x and y home, it tries to drop down in the z axis as well. i'm sure its  an easy fix, but it has eluded me so far.

Sounds like something in your end g-code (either in slic3r or in repetier, there's two lots!) is iffy. Copy paste both up here and someone is sure to be able to see whether something in there's doing it.

also depending on what you have in the park settings for Z if the 'park when print done' box is checked.
