Manual lowering of hotend

in General
i recently used the repetier firmware configuration tool https://www.repetier.com/firmware/v092/ and i have lost a feature that was very useful. in the past when i pressed the hotend down key (-10) for the first time, using repetier host , the hotend would lower itself to 180 mm, and every other pressing of the down key(-10) the hotend would lower by 10, my Z max length is 208.1. With the new firmware when i press the down key (-10) for the first time, the hotend lowers to 198.1, is there a way to set something to lower the hotend to 180, after the first pressing of the down key?

    Hope you have already 2.0.1 installed. There you can set in printer settings the homing coordinates. That is what host assumes after homing. Then Z-10 should always move down 10 more. Problem is that host does it relative so if you lie on homing position the -10 is also wrong. If it was really 180 befor I think your old homing had Z position 190 and reported this to host. For some compatibility reason we do not scan the reported position any more and use the stored value now.

    Hi thank you for the quick response.  However i think i may not have explained the issue properly. i have created a video on youtube,  https://youtu.be/_3P4RZGkctY hopefully this will explain the issue better.

    So it did it wrong and now correct and you want the wrong version back:-) No idea why it did this wrong but since it is now working as intended I will do nothing.

    You can set one script to do this. Set it to
    G28
    G1 Z180 F6000

    by right clicking the script button.
