Nozzle Clog Serviceability #12959

Open DJ-Miller opened 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Cleaning clogged nozzles at a low Z height is difficult, especially within the first 20mm or so.

Describe the solution you'd like Move the Z axis to the top or at least a consistent position for cleaning, and then when clicking on retry, it would return to the saved Z position to continue printing

Additional context Add any other context or paint drawing about the feature request here. When the nozzle clogs on a very low Z height, it would be much easier if the unit would position not just only at the X and Y limit, but to raise the Z to a manageable level (much higher Z) from which the use of the nozzle cleaning needles could be more accessible to the nozzle opening.

That's related to firmware and not to the slicer PS only generates G-code and your machine follows it, if something happens in the process of printing the PS can't help only the firmware can decide what to do.

Then, if the firmware can move to the X and Y limit, can't it also capture current Z, and raise the Z for nozzle clog accessibility and then return to the saved Z level?

I'm not sure and I don't have any machines with me at the moment but I think if you pause the print you can move the axis and o. Resume It will resume like nothing (I repeat, I don't remember is it es the case)

But thia repo is not related to prusa firmware, so this is not the place to discuss things related to it
