Raise z after print??

I noticed when I print the prusa logo off the SD card that once the print ends the z axis is only approx 1mm above the bed. This caused it to get a dimple in the PEI.

Is there any way to set the default for all prints to raise the extruder after each print?

Thanks

This is something I set in my OctoPrint setup, but it is something you could set in your Slicer as well. Do note that the variables are probably OctoPrint specific and you'd have to learn what the variables are for your particular slicer if you wanted to go that route.

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.
