How can I change the home position Z height?
I just built a i3 MK3S and am having trouble seeing if the head is clean before I make a print. I can't find a way to set the Z height home position to something high than the inch or so that it goes to. I can adjust it up each time, but it would be more convenient to just have it permanently set to go to about 4 inches up
Any help is greatly appreciated

You can add some gcode to the Printer custum gcode entry to move the extruder up ... default is 30 mm, but that can be changed to 100 mm (up to the 210 mm limit, of course).
from (30mm lift)
{if layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(layer_z+30, max_print_height)}{endif} ; Move print head up
to (60 mm lift)
{if layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(layer_z+60, max_print_height)}{endif} ; Move print head up
