Hello
Because the mechanism encounters too much stumbling block.
Everything has to work smoothly and gently.
A lot of work awaits you.

1, You can check the wiring of Z-axis endstop, compare to X and Y-axis endstops.
2, If wiring is correct, try to change the direction of Z-axis, you can refer to user manual.

Hi,
I was watching a film that you had prepared and one thought came to me.

I assume you have done so:
- you have turned the printer on,
- you have switched on your computer and the program to control the printer,
when the printer is switched on, the carriage with the head is located above the work table,
- and now by clicking the Z button you want to move the carriage down.

The mechanism does not go below the input position (the position it was in when the printer was turned on)

To do this, you must use the HOME option, or the HOME Z option for only one axis...

I did
You see that the axe Z pushes...

But i have solved the problem, axes z are good parallel and finished on the end step

I continue now my tests, with extruder

This is a video of extrution testing on MeCreator2, but the motion of adding filament is the same:

Thanks,
i tested but i have a problem with Repetier Host, the button bed controls the temperature extruder, it's inversed.
You can show the correct connection with mother card about temperature control ?

Thanks

I think you can check the heating or thermistors wirings of hotbed and hotend, swap them to have a try.
