Parking the Print head
I'm looking for information on changing where the print head parks.
After the recent updates the head parks at Z:0. I put in some code that moves the print head up the Z axis, but then it repositions to 0. Where should I add the coordinates to park the print head?
TIA
RE: Parking the Print head
Recent updates to what ? Parking position is handled by the end gcode block in Prusa slicer usually. It tells the extruder to go to x/y/z and then cool down etc.
The reason I ask when you mention changes is that there was a case where the mini was parking low and crashing into parts sometimes. That was the result of a mini firmware bug that updating to the latest (at the time) sorted out. If a recent change to ‘something’ is causing your printer to park at zero then that’s a something that needs to be debugged.
So what’s changed ?
RE: Parking the Print head
For me I noticed the parking location changed after updating to the slicer.
I am running a Mini, so if I'm reading correctly there's a firmware update I should be looking for?
RE: Parking the Print head
Then in all likelihood yes a firmware update is needed. What version are you currently running ?
Personally given the amount of reported issues with 4.4.0 I would avoid that one at the moment (there's a 4.4.1 available but its only a RC so probably still has its own bugs). I'd go with 4.3.4 still at the moment. iirc that version doesn't have the problem with the parking and unless you are set on using the prusa connect stuff then I'd give 4.4.x time to mature a bit before using it. There's rather a lot of changes in 4.4.0
