Change default Z position after a print?

I'd like for my printer to stop a little higher so that I can make manually wiping the nozzle with a rag easier if/when it gets gunk on it.

 

I poked around and found some code change ideas and came up with two possibly helpful tidbits:

https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/how-can-i-change-the-home-position-z-height/

https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/insert-pause-or-custom-g-code-at-layer_120490/

 

So, would adding that line from the first thread via the method mentioned in the KB work for the mini? If so, would that specific code be correct?

 

Either way, is there a way to setup my slicer to ALWAYS leave the printer end point higher than default?

 

thanks!

Answered my own question. Clicked on "Expert" tab in slicer and I see the End G-code in there that I can edit. Woohoo!

RE: Change default Z position after a print?

Glad you figured it out by yourself where to insert that gcode. In case you're interested, I added these lines to my end g-code (among other stuff):

 

{if layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(layer_z+50, max_print_height)}{endif} ; Move print head up
