Filament Change / Z-Offset

I'm assuming that an M600 will trigger the filament change function so I can swap colors at a particular layer, is that correct?

If I need a different "Live Z" offset for an additional build plate what code would I use to set it? I'd like to mark the plate and have the start g-code for a part set the value so that when I switch to a different build plate that uses another value I can change it to match that plate.

Re: Filament Change / Z-Offset

wait, what? you want to swap build plates mid print??

as far as I know there's no terminal command for live Z

No not mid print but not all plates are exactly the same height so rather than have to Live Z each one after a swap I’d like to record the offset and then switch the z offset depending on the plate being used in the startup g-code.
