When this occurs your z axis home position is set, so ensure that screw holding the end stop is tight and don't move it, just move Z up 5mm (aviods hitting anything, when you move x and y) and prep for print Repeat move it down a bit, home z until the paper grabs with a slight pull. You should find that it gets nearer the bed, Upon the first time, it might be some distance away, so move it down a small bit so it's not triggered, re-home z. I think you will find that once it hits the switch it will behave just like the x axis.Ĭurrently there seems to be a safety measure when you home Z that's states 'Haven't hit the switch, yet, so I better stop.' and you need to move the switch up by about 5mm. Then home z and be ready with the power switch in case it hits the bed. If yes, then move the z axis end stop so it's a short distance away from the printed part. If you hold down (Closed) the z axis end stop and at the same time send a M119 to the printer Does it show triggered? The way you have described the X axis homing, is correct and working. One more note, is really z motors cross talk significant enough that I should try to remove endstop cables away from cable organizer? I do not see that in x or y, so I am not sure. But, I want to understand it and fix it without doing so if possible, so all help here is appreciated. I agree, however I am desperate enough to even take that route. When you watch the 3rd video, you can hear 2 clicks at x and y axis. then it retracts a few mm again and notes that position as zero (the printed part is just touching the endstop lever) then it does a second check triggering the endstop againĤ. then it retracts a few mm, just for the endstop to openģ. it moves towards the endstop until pressedĢ. My axis home as follows (x axis for example):ġ. when an endstop is triggered, it does show high I did that a couple of times already, but no luck. Printer: Ormerod 2 (528.4) Duel extruder set-up with Aluminium X-Rib, RRPro Firmware v1.11-ch () Supporting 3D Printers with Parts and Build services. Uploading someone's config file could be a problem waiting to happen, I wouldn't advise it.Įdited 3 time(s). Printing this item from thingiverse makes the process much easier [ and you can adjust the z-height with a screw driverīEWARE, If end stop is too low you risk damage to the print bed, so be near the power switch so able to stop the motor The trick is to place the end stop in the right place, so that a light touch is done on the print bed and it comes up to be the right height for a grab. It's driven down until it hits the end stop, goes then just pass it, then comes up, at which point you should be able to get a 'slight grab' upon a piece of paper The Z end stop is adjustable, you can move it up and down. If the end stops are triggered 'all the time' the axis won't move. The lever of the z end stop switch (shown in the above link) should be just touching the printed part and show HIGH when triggered when printer is sent a M119 When the nozzle is at the home position, grab upon paper 0.2mm I will appreciate ANY help, because I am out of ideas (maybe it is my lack of experience/knowledge)Įdited 1 time(s). I already surfed through tons of forums and I could not find a fix for my issue. I don´t have bed autoleveling of any kind. The z axis homing is acting inconsistent no matter what I use to command it The configuration.h file is coming directly from HE3D which I got after many requests.

I am running on Repetier firmware and I will also attach my configuration.h file here (which I think is setup wrong), but I don´t have it on this computer at the moment. If it wasn´t for this z axis, i would be printing already. Every time I tell the z axis to home, I get a different result :-( Please see my videos. My main problem is that I cannot get the printer to home z axis correctly and consistently. Their support is just as bad, or even worse. Instructions are dreadful, but that´s another story. PLEASE HELP! I am desperate with this issue.ĭespite being a total newbie, I have bought HE3D Xi3 kit and after a couple of hickups, I managed to complete it.
