Z goes to 0 at end of print

I'm having an odd issue with my mini.  It was working great, then I had to put it in storage for about a month.  I brought it out of storage, hooked it up, ran the setup wizard, and started printing.  Now on the prints the z axis will go to 0 at the end of the print.  The print ends up fine, but the printer is suppose to end/park the print head at a height greater than to the print.

My current End G-code setting is the following:

G1 E-1 F2100 ; retract

{if max_layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(max_layer_z+2, max_print_height)} F720 ; Move print head up{endif}

G1 X178 Y178 F4200 ; park print head

{if max_layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(max_layer_z+30, max_print_height)} F720 ; Move print head further up{endif}

G4 ; wait

M104 S0 ; turn off temperature

M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed

M107 ; turn off fan

M221 S100 ; reset flow

M900 K0 ; reset LA

M84 ; disable motors

 

Below is a print specific G-code for a recent print that had a height of 12mm.

; Filament-specific end gcode

G1 E-1 F2100 ; retract

G1 Z14 F720 ; Move print head up

G1 X178 Y178 F4200 ; park print head

G1 Z42 F720 ; Move print head further up

G4 ; wait

M104 S0 ; turn off temperature

M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed

M107 ; turn off fan

M221 S100 ; reset flow

M900 K0 ; reset LA

M84 ; disable motors

M73 P100 R0

 

Any help or ideas on how to stop it from parking at 0 is appreciated.

Please read this thread https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/2-4-0-end-gcode-wierdness/ and see if it applies to you.

Thanks, that did the trick.  I guess I need to improve my search skills

Higgins's are supposed to be cleverer than that 😉

The forum search sucks.  However googles does not 🙂  You can use googles search and limit it to just this site which helps a lot, but only if the key words are something that you would think to use.

I'm having this same issue, using 2.4 slicer, how do I fix it? I read the link but don't see the fix.

Update the firmware on the actual printer.  Make sure that the setting on the printer is set to update, and restart it.
