    Hi all, I'm trying to set the height that the Z rises after probing and can't find a way to do it. I just need it to retract a little higher so I can slide my Dust Boot under after probing. Does anyone know where this is set?

    After you finish the probing, just jog the Z axis up to fit your boot - the Z axis will return to the correct position set in your gcode file when you start the job, no need to jog back down again.

    or create a macro button containing
    G21 G90 G17
    G53 G0 Z-3

    This will rapid Z to 3mm below the Z0 position. if 3mm is not enough to prevent triggering your limit switch, then use the required number (always negative!)
