Skip one Layer / Layer shift

Hi,

I am working on a project where I print filament on something. After 2 layers, one layer needs to be skipped or the nozzle has to be raised by 0.3 or 0.5mm to print the following layer.

{if layer_num ==  2}
Layer shift
G1 Z0.5
{endif}

I expected a constant shift upwards, but actually the movement is not persistent.

My other option is to use a flow=0% command for one layer, but the would be unnecessary movements with possibly a clogged nozzle in the end.

Can someone explain a solution to me?

 

Thank you!

Having this in the Layer Change section:

{if layer_num > 3}G1 Z{layer_z + 0.3}{endif}

Does not work and PS throws a parse error.
