What happens after
When the print is completed what happens after? I know the nozzle won't home as that could damage the print while traveling from the last spot it deposited material to the home position.
Does the bed and hot end automatically shut off? It was just something I haven't really found mentioned anywhere.
Thanks,
Neal
Re: What happens after
You have complete control over this behavior, in your slicer.
Each slicer allows you to put in gcode before the print and after the print, before layer changes, and after layer changes.
The Slic3r default moves the head up a bit, and moves it to the back left corner, and shuts things down.
Slic3r -> Printer Settings -> Custom G-code ->
G4 ; wait
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
M107 ; turn off fan
G1 X0 Y200; home X axis
M84 ; disable motors

Re: What happens after
The end of task processes aredefined in your slicing software. Typical minimum is move extruder to left. (Home) and turn extruder bed and part fan off.. the extruder fan will typically run until. The extruder is below 50centigrade. I also like the Y axis to move to 250.mm and the X axis to go to 210. So that there is maximum area to work on part removal. And so the pinda is not affected by bed heat for the next print cycle.
In most slicer programs there are input boxes for GCode commands at various stages of the job. Hope this helps.

Re: What happens after
Thanks to you both. I just wanted to make sure that if a print completed while I was away or busy that it didn't just sit there and back at normal operating temperature on the bed and hot end.
Big help and big relief.
