Well... Dang! What a silly post script g-code.

Well… Dang! What a silly post script g-code. It hommed Z before moving out the bed

Lol. Nice. I wonder why that happened?

How did you generate the g-code or was it already done by a third party?

3rd party troll code?

Lol, oops… Xp

Why even home Z at all after finishing a print? I make mine lift 2mm, and then move the bed away.

@Michael_Andresen indeed, I usually want to lift Z at the end of a print (makes it easier to remove the model and easier to load a new filament), not bring it down.

Plays the theme to Gilligan’s’ Island, as he observes the “Shipwreck”.

To those that wonder why you’d home Z, some printers home to Z MAX, meaning the nozzle homes away from the print. Is why it’s a good idea to always check over any start / end codes people send you.

@Steve_M I don’t think we’re wondering why it homes Z, only why it homes Z to zero!

Home is where the limit switches are, there is a difference between moving to home and moving to Z0.

For example, if my printer homes to Z max, that means home is actually Z170, so if I gave you my end gcode that homes Z, and yours homes to zmin, your printer would home to Z0 and thus it would fail for you.

The point was more about checking your gcode than anything else though, especially if it’s gcode someone else has sent you.

I was using the end code from the reprap wiki, but the problem seems to have stemmed from having an end code from my slicer and an identical end code in octoprint… Not sure why that messed it up in such a way (there is only a small upward z movement in the end code) but when I took out the end code from octoprint it worked well

Hehehehehe

@Steve_M that sounds like it should be on a plaque on every 3D printer’s wall:

“Home Is Where The Limit Switches Are”

:slight_smile:

I thought I’d seen it on a t-shirt or some kind of poster for CNC stuff so I don’t know if I can take full credit for it :slight_smile:

@Steve_M if they don’t exist already, we should start selling them :slight_smile:

Nice

Lol i did something like that once i almost bend the linear rods, :astonished::astonished::astonished::astonished:

Hahaha
