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

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.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
