IDEX Machine Z Position Changes During Tool Change

Nazar

Hello,

I have been having issues with my IDEX machine when I print using both heads (multi-materials)

The problem is that the Z position is not consistent. I understand that there must be something wrong with my tool change macros, but I just can't find what. I would appreciate the help.

; Lower Z to 10mm if lower than that for safety
if move.axes[2].machinePosition < 10 && state.status != "processing"  && state.status != "pausing" && state.status != "resuming"

@Nazar what do you mean that the Z positions is not consistent?
