XYZ axis after the print done

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Printer software (repetier, slicer, ...)
1

hello
I do not know what the final position of the XYZ axis after the print done, but in my case XY go to the home place, and Z is a few millimeters below the last print layer.
I would like the XY axis stay home and Z stay 100mm below the last layer to remove the bed more easily.
Is possible set that with the software?
I’m Mac User and I use CuraEngine
and this is my end-gcode

[color=#FF0000];End GCode
M104 S0 ;extruder heater off
M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it)
G91 ;relative positioning
G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure
G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
M84 ;steppers off
G90 ;absolute positioning
;{profile_string}[/color]

thank you and sorry for my bad english : )

I tried to run Cura on my MacBook pro with Yosemite, but it just says the binary is not valid! Could you tell me how you get Cura working on Mac? thanks

Hi , I put

G1 Z190 F600; lower platform to bottom

Before turning steppers off. But no need to lower full way to bottom.
I want to do following instead

“if (Zabs < 100) then “lower to” 100.” Anyone ??

zannddor, have You found a solution on Your wish ?

regards

Please share your Cura profile. How did you import the settings ?

I usually use the fill density by 20%
filament diameter 1.72 because my filament has a range from 1.75mm to 1.69mm

There is another panel under ”Menu/Expert settings", could you share that one please, and the Machine Settings as well. That should make it complete.

Hello,
I’m using Repetier-Host with Cura engine under Windows 8.1. I downloaded Cura 14.12.1. I found in this forum many tips for setting up the Cura. But I need also the machine Settings (I know Vertex’s build volume is X=200 Y=180 Z=190 is smaller than build bed size). Can you give an advice please?

Regards
Niyazi

Here is my solution: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=13972, by changing the end code in Cura for Mac.
