Cura Lift Head at Z for PETG Print Gap Plugin

thingiverse

Well, they say that PETG likes to "lay down" and not be "smooshed down" like other filaments. After the first layer, you should raise the print head slightly so there's a gap between the nozzle and the printed piece. This plugin will let you do it in cura. How to use it: Put it in your <cura 3x>/plugins/PostProcessingPlugin/scripts directory. You will need to restart Cura. Go to the Extensions menu, then Post-Processing and Modify G Code. You will be able to select the plugin there. The height should be set to greater than your first layer height but less than your second. Code was altered from BQ_PauseAtHeight.py plugin. Thingiverse requires an STL or design file to submit something, so I uploaded a test shape I use to test new filaments. Enjoy! Tested on Cura 3.0.3
