Z axis "blocked"
-
Hello,
My Z axis won't go further than 200mm up, even though my Z axis maxima is set to 585.7... it just stops in the middle ( nothing physically stopping it, it's like the maxima was Z200 ! )For example, if I send G1 Z300, it will stop at 200... it's kinda strange behaviour and I can't find were I messed up, it started doing this after I modified the homing files. I tried with the old homing files (before it started to block itself ) but nothing does, it won't get pass 200 !
Everything else works as intended !
Help with this would be great
Thanks !
-
Copy in your config.g please.
-
Does the DWC report a position past 200 or also stop with the motors?
-
and config-override.g please
-
Here is the config file
And the duetwebcontrol shows Z200, I can still use it perfectly !
Thanks !
PS : is there a better way to display enormous file like this ?

And I don't have a config-override.g file... is it a problem ?
-
@carlitototo I'm surprised it moves at all - you have the Z minimum set to 585.7.
M208 X0 Y0 Z585.70 S1 ; Set axis minima
Changing that to Z0 will likely fix it.

nah, but if you had one, then it would be one of those places a config command that tricks us all is hiding. So no file, no problem.

; Axis Limits
M208 X0 Y0 Z585.70 S1 ; Set axis minima
M208 X580 Y580 Z0 S0 ; Set axis maximaYour Z minima and maxima are reversed.
That still doesn't explain how it's moving at all, or why it's stopping at 200. Please post your homing files. I think something else is still wrong.

Well that's embarrassing... exchange the Z value between Z max and min and it worked... thanks @deckingman and @Phaedrux !
Well I guess that's a good thing I don't have this file @bearer
here are the homming files :

G92 Z0 ; set Z to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)Are you using a Z probe? It looks like you have a BLTouch configured, but your homing files are setup to use endstops.
If you plan on using mesh compensation this can lead to some issues. You will need to either switch homing Z over to using the probe, or at least ensure you do a single G30 probe at the center of the bed before creating the mesh heightmap, and before starting the print/loading the heightmap.

Oh ! Didn't know I could do that... this is a nice feature, going to try and implement it right now !

Well that must be the most convenient thing that exist in the 3D printing world, works perfectly ! Thanks
