Bringing Adventurer 5M Pro's base plate down after finishing a print Question
I have a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro 3D printer. I'm using Orca Slicer to prepare the print files and then transfer them to the printer via a thumb drive.
After a print is finished, the base plate will stay at the z-position in which it printed. For small objects this means that the base plate is very close to the top and removing the printing plate from the enclosure can be a bit fiddly. This also makes it complicated to remove any debris which might be left in the enclosure.
Is it possible to either manually or automatically lower the base plate after a print is finished?

Turns out, there is a "Homing" button hidden in the settings menu.
Click on the cog wheel in the left sidebar of the touch screen to go to the settings page:
Once in the settings menu, there is the homing button on the lower left, which looks approximately like this:
This will move the base plate all the way to the bottom.
