    When the extruder is printing and moving from section to section. What setting controls the height at which it moves.
    I am using cuts, but hopefully it is the same control no matter what software you us3?

    I lost a print when it kept leaving marks in the just laid pla and jammed the extruder.

    certain softwares do not allow the extruder to lift when moving but I believe cura have just added this feature if you want to try give that a go. (open the expert settings folder in the software)

    Steps per mm in the EEProm setting for the Z axis.

    Some slicers can be set to avoid crossing layers already done where possible.

    In Slic3r you can enter a Lift Z value for that.
