should we change the max print height to 242 because of this? If you think we should then we should add a note in the changelog.

You can do logic in Prusa Slicer but not Cura. Something like:
{if max_layer_z < 40}\nG91\nG1 Z8 F600 ; Move print head up{endif}
I have yet to test this. Just read about it.

I've updatd the extruder dimensions and gantry height for both Prusa and Cura slicer to have better support for sequential printing.
Along the way I ran into various quirks with both the hardware and Ankerslicer. They've been documented in the known issues. Most notable are the following issues:
Also for anyone noticing I've set the gantry height to 23mm rather than 30mm, this is correct. On the left of the extruder there's a small plastic rod poking out to the x-axis end stop. This rod is about 7mm lower than the gantry at it's lowest point.
