Feature Request: Magic that will allow my end code to move Z down only if it isn't already down that far?

[Claghorn 1]

I'd like to move the Z level at the end of a print to something like 50mm, but if I just printed something higher than that, I don't want a "G0 Z50" in the end script to jam the tall print back into the extruder :-). Is there any kind of cura magic like S{max_model_height_or_z_park} or gcode magic in marlin to achieve this?

change this to a feature request

Nope. You could try to do this with a post processing script, but that would require writing a custom python script that can do that (and remembering that you should enable that script every time)

Maybe I should make this a feature request then. I know cura knows how tall the model is, so if it had a separate setting for "park position" where I could set X,Y, and Z locations I want it to move to at the end of the print, then it would be possible to put something like this in my end code:

 

G0 Z{max_of_model_height_and_Z_park}

 

I want this to move the bed to a convenient position for removing the flexible build plate after the print is done.
