Feature request for firmware: Reset should raise extruder
Sorry, if this is the wrong location but I found no suitable place for this:
When I hit reset during mid print to abort a print the reaction of the printer is quite quick, it stops doing what it did, nozzle fan is spinning to avoid overheating the nozzle etc but I found that hitting the reset button could be improved.
Would raising the extruder by some amount or event the entire Z height make sense when hitting reset (at least when the printer was printing before)?
I noticed that when I have failed builds due to extrusion I am going to need to raise the the extruder assembly anyway afterwards.
In another scenario (other thread) where the extruder for some reason decided to crash into my pristine spring steel sheet bead it was inconvenient (I might have panicked a little 😕 ) to find the "move Z axis" in the menu to lift it.
Re: Feature request for firmware: Reset should raise extruder
Reset is like turn off and on, i think reset is tied to reset pin at MCU, that way the lift Z would not be possible because they cant detect a reset.
To lift Z press and hold LCD knob, it will enter at move Z.
Stop print takes two clicks and maybe 5 seconds and it will lift Z as that run end gcode (If you use last slic3r version)

Ah, skimmed through the manually twice and must have missed that info. Thanks for the hint
Are you aware if any calibration must be done after moving Z manually?

If manually you mean by hand moving the thread rods then yes (Run Z Calibration).
If you move by printer instruction, aka movie axis then no
X and Y can be hand moved without problem when steppers are off, printer will rehome that axis every print
