End G-Code for the Prusa i3 Mk3
-------------------------------

My end g-code is pretty standard. Any setting changes made from the front menu will persist between prints if not reset, so I like to ensure everything is set back to 100% when a print job completes. I've also added a couple of routines to minimize final stringing, though with mixed success.

* Line 7 retracts 0.8mm of filament (``E-0.8``) to reduce final stringing.
* Lines 8-11 do a little wiping motion with no extrusion to reduce final stringing.
* Line 13 raises the nozzle 60mm or up to the maximum print area of 210mm, whichever is lower.
* Line 14 moves the extruder to the far left (``X0``) and forward (``Y210``) to present the print for easy removal.
* Line 16 disables volumetric e extrusion (an experimental setting).
* Line 17 resets print speed over-rides made with the front knob.
* Line 18 resets extruder factor adjustments made with the front knob.
* Line 19 resets Linear Advance.
* Lines 20-25 shut down the printer hardware.

.. note:: Thanks to Steve_G for catching the error on that last line.

Here's my current end g-code:
