Z travel below min endstop trigger

Hey Roland,

I'm very keen to get Repetier Firmware to work with the smartcore corexy printer which uses the same inductive sensor as z_min_endstop and z probe. Please could you help with a workaround to let us allow the print head travel a specified distance below the point where the endstop triggers? Is there something in the endstop checking code in motion.h that could be changed to allow this?

Thanks

    That could be tricky, since min endstop is meant to be at z=0. There is a variable 
    #define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_ON_HOME 0
    where you could try a negative value so that it goes further down. Not sure if this messes up some other computations, so be carefull while testing. I guess z probe height must be 0 if you fix the difference that way.
