Extruder doesn't move up after print finishes

So i've printed my first "self" sliced object with my new MK3s.

But after the print finishes the head only moved back to the left, not up, so unless i move the z-axis manually I cannot get the steel sheet off of the printer.

Is there a setting or a command that moves the extruder to the top? My home is apparently front-left ~2mm from the build plate.

You'll need to modify the custom gcode to do the final move as you want it.

Stock gcode looks something like this: move Z up 30 mm.

G4 ; wait
M221 S100
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
M107 ; turn off fan
{if layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(layer_z+30, max_print_height)}{endif} ; Move print head up
G1 X0 Y200 F3000 ; home X axis
M84 ; disable motors

You can change this line as follows:

 

G1 X0 Y200 Z210 F3000 ; home X, push bed forward, raise Z to limit

I hadn't added the printer in Prusa Slicer - so no custom g-code settings. All default settings.

Got the Prusa settings added, and looks like everythings good now.

 

Thanks for the help
