Do home in Z max, help! Doubt in config

Kezat

When you home to max your setting G92 to max z height and not zero correct?

FBG

Yes the DWC show 0, the home Z do well, but after only move some mm in Z-

Kezat

Do you have Z plus and Z minus mixed up by chance? Z zero (homed) is nozzle near the bed, a +100mm move will create a 100mm gap from nozzle to the bed. So if DWC shows 0 then it should not move in the Z- this is to prevent damage to the nozzle or bed.

If you really are using Zmax to home your Zhome (or homeall) code needs to set G92 to the max height of your Z and not Zero as is normally done.

So G92 Z300 for a 300 max z printer.

Or perhaps i'm missing your point?

You do not need to use G92 with a Z max homing switch. But you do need to set the M208 Z parameter correctly.

Sorry i am confused.
My M208 is correctly configured, i suppose:

[[language]]
M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1               ; Set axis minima
M208 X300 Y300 Z400 S0         ; Set axis maxima

Could you explain me?

Where you have Z400 use the exact Z height at which your Z max endstop triggers.

FBG

Yes i have like this, but when i press Home Z, the axis search the swith (move in Z+) and stop well when find the swith, but when i press Z- 100mm(for move to the nozzle) only move a little and no more!
