Ultimaker Z axis config problem.

Afigentus · 5 Jun 2018, 21:47

Hi. I tried configure my Ultimaker. Z axis on home action move to the endstop and set position ftom config. But ufter any G command for X,Y or Z axis bed moving to zero position and on the next G command to max position and so on the circle. During print simulation or real print beg any time go up and down.

Can you post the Homez.g file?

You are moving Z up to a Z max endstop switch, but then telling the firmware that the nozzle-to-bed distance is 0.2mm at that point. That isn't right.
In your M208 commands you have said that the Z minimum is 294mm and the Z maximum is zero. That isn't right either, the minimum can't be greater than the maximum.

The Z coordinate refers in all cases to the distance between the nozzle and the bed. So if it is the bed that moves up and down, the Z max position is when the bed is at its lowest point, and the Z min position is when the bed is at its highest point.

So I suggest you fix your M208 commands, and re-evaluate whether you are homing to a maximum or minimum Z endstop.
