    Hello,
    This is NOT a major problem nor a show stopper but if I could fix it my RoBo would be perfect.
    So, I have noticed, whenever a print completes, the print head will go to the left on the x axis and the y axis will go all the way back. This is fine, but it makes me have to either go into mattercontrol or use my controller (it is like RepRapDiscount's but smaller) to bring it forward to get the print as it is against the wall. My slicer is cura. This happens on every print. It is not major, but I would like to fix it for convenience.

    You could do whatever you want in the ending GCode script (I assume MC has a way to edit this).
    Just be careful since you do not want to crash into the model you just printed :)

    Thanks. I actually use Cura, but am not certain on how to lift the head to 225mm (that's the height I was comfortable with without crashing the head) and then moving the bed forward. I had already added the auto level script to my starting g code and am not really a stranger to it, just need the commands. Thanks though!!!! I almost forgot about the z height.

    Well as a guess:

    G91 ; Set relative positioning
    G1 Z1 F10000 ; Raise Z 10 mm (make sure you clear the model)
    G90 Set absolute positioning
    G28 Y0; Home Y axis

    My ending gcode has the following commands in it:
    Code:
    G1 Z10 X0
    G1 Y230
    I don't put the Y move on the same line just in case something is in the way.As anything on the same line gets executed at the same time, not one after the other.
