After Completed Print Bed Drops to bottom

AstroBox Troubleshooting
#1

I am using AstroPrint (latest version) on my D-Bot CoreXY printer (Marlin 1.1.5). I have a large bed, 635mm x 335mm. When a print completes the z-motors are powered off and the bed drops to the bottom. I then have to re-zero and rerun auto level with the BLTouch (time consuming)…this is not what I want.

  • I have the z-motors set in firmware to not power off.

  • A print job from Simplify3D (by USB) or run from the SD card does not power off the motors and I can run another print job immediately after clearing the bed.

  • I use Simplify3D as my slicer and upload G-Code to the Astroprint.

  • My scripts in Simplify3D (start and end) do not turn off z-motors.

How can keep the motors powered when using AstroPrint?

Thank you for any help,
Erik

This is the first time we encounter this :frowning: We do send those commands to the printer when the print job ends. We can make it optional with a setting in the printer profile for the next release: https://github.com/AstroPrint/AstroBox/issues/305

As much as I would like this feature, if I am the only one requesting it, it does not make sense to add the setting.
