really fast z move after mesh bed leveling skips steps and print fails.

when i slice with prusaslicer 2 (through repetier host)  i get a really fast z move that loses steps and does not make it back down to the print bed to start the print.  I cant figure out where its coming from or how to adjust that speed.  Is this value coming from repetier host or prusaslicer gcode?

Does anyone know where i can change this value in prusa slicer so i dont have to manually edit the gcode every time?  I just added the mesh bed leveling yesterday and this issue came up.

example gcode with the suspect line starred out.  if i change the F1200 move to something the z can easily handle the print works fine.

RE: really fast z move after mesh bed leveling skips steps and print fails.

The commands to set limits (M20x) are setting what the printer should use.  In Prusa printers the firmware then limits speeds.

But if those firmware limits aren't aren't working for your printer, not sure what to recommend except to note Prusa MK3 is limited to 12mm/s for Z moves, your 50mm/s setting seems a bit excessive.

thanks I will try that out.  do you know what the maximum speed of Z is on a MK3?  I resurrected an old frankenstein prusa mendel and have no idea where to really start.

that didnt work, no matter how low i put the z speed (acceleration and feedrate) it still chokes on that command. 

Any idea where i can change that in the gcode to a set value that works every time i slice a model?

As stated: maximum feedrate in Prusa Slicer for the MK3 is 12mm/s.
