---------------

This is how I want it! 'Z Hop Height' must be the same as 'Layer Height'. And no one ticked 'Z Endstop in Positive Direction'. This only gives 1 Z movement at layer change. 3 if you tune 'Z-hop' (Firmware Retraction).


As you can see, 'Extruder1' has 0.4mm 'Layer Height'. That's because I use a nozzle that is 0.6mm. Then I get under extrusion.

'Extruder(0)' has a 0.4mm nozzle. Then I usually use 0.25mm Layer Height.


By mistake I used 0.25mm 'Layer Height' on 'Extruder1'. That led to over extrusion.
It may be, when printing with PETG, that at the right 'Layer Height' you will get a nice Z-seam.

 

Again, thanks for all the help.
