Defining simple Z end stop

[Reefwarrior]

Hi all,

After a lot of battling with my servo used in the z probe, I have decided to go back to the old normal Z end stop method without bed mesh for printing rectification.

Now the 1000 $ question, which I don't know how...

I have defined the Zmin end stop, as similar to my X and Y; as they both work.

However, it does not seem to trigger the printer to stop once I keep on lowering the gantry. It compresses the micro switch and keeps on going down further.

In the 'Z-Probe' section of config.g; I have put M558 P0 - but I am not sure if this is the right way.

Any/all help appreciated (if possible, with a sample declaration or whatever may be the case....)

you need to change the homing script.

i would suggest you generate a new one using the configurator with z endstop selected.

Cool thank you!

M558 P0

Manual probing is different than using an endstop. It means that when G30 is called it will prompt you to jog the nozzle down to touch the bed.

M574 Z defines the endstop, but it only gets called into action with a G1 H1 Z move in your homing file.
