Moving print head out of the way
-
This is a beginners question, patience plz.
I want to move the print head to the left rear of the print enclosure (origin is Left-Front) after each print. Also want to move the bed down 50mm. So it seems that the following code, placed at the Ending Script of the slicer (S3D) should do the trick.
G1 X10 Y250 ; Move print head to the rear of the enclosure. G91 ; Set Relative Posioning G1 Z50 ; Move bed down 50mm G90 ; Return to Absolute Positoning M104 S0 T0 ; turn off extruder T0 M104 S0 T1 ; turn off extruder T1 M140 S0 ; turn off bed M84 ; disable motorsQ: When, using G91 and G1 Z50, if the bed is already down less than 50mm from the endstop will Duet respect the configured geometry or will it try to grind past the end stop?

@brs Providing the printer has been homed, then any G1 moves should respect the axis limits that you (should) have defined in your configuration files.

If include a M564 S1, as the first command, it will insure that axis limits are respected.
This way you can use your code safely without worries.
