Nozzle Z-Hop Nozzle Z-hop is a movement setting where the nozzle lifts slightly during travel moves to avoid collisions with printed parts. It prevents scratches, layer shifts, and print failures, especially in complex geometries with protruding features. Z-hop is essential when printing with flexible materials prone to warping. Adjustable Z-hop height settings are available in slicing software to minimize travel distances. Proper Z-hop configuration enhances print reliability, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy. |
