    When ever I print something, I have been getting this dimple like on the print. Its located in the same place for every individual print. If I was to print multiple items, it would only do it on the last finished item.

    after close observations, it seems that when the print job finishes, the extruder sits there and the print head is touching the project cause what I would call a dimple. I tried the coasting and extracting settings, but so far no luck with it?

    That is an OctoPrint issue, when it transitions from running g-code in your model file to running it's own scripts for end of print or canceled print there is a pause. To prevent this from happening you need to modify your slicer ending g-code to move the head away from the print in either a horizontal and or vertical direction. To actually do this will depend on which slicer you use, each one places the end g-code scripting in different settings locations.

    I believe I have found the area you mentioned, but not sure what script to use?

    Add

    G28 X0 Y0     ;home X and Y

    to the END GCODE script

    That will home X/Y (but NOT Z to avoid collisions)
