Re: Z axis steppers going past endstop

Thanks William

Arduino version 1.0.1 worked perfect. No Orange messages as it uploaded and no errors at the end. Just a simple upload. i re-homed the machine afterward and it was perfect.

Re: Z-Axis Issues

Check that the threaded rod is in line with the coupling. I had the same problem so I put the locking rings on the lower x axis rod on the inside of the z housings to prevent the x axis drive belt from pulling the z axis rods in toward each other.

Re: Z axix Problem

Hi William I spent a long time on bed levelling and got it perfect. I swapped the driver as you suggested but there was no difference.

Z axix Problem
