    How do I modify the Gcode so that after it auto levels it lifts up away from the plate and then moves over to start and moves back down.

    I use blue tape with hairspray (belt and suspenders) and most of the time it scratches up my blue tape and I need to fix it.

    Thank you.

    In your slicer settings, with advanced controls enabled, go to the startup g-code and after G29 add this code

    Code:
    G1 Z5.0 F1800
    
    That will tell it to lift the carriage 5mm before doing anything else.

    Works like a charm. This should be part of the native code when they send you the system. please set to "Solved".
