Movement past endstop
-
i cant seem to get the printer to stop at the endstops it just wants to blow past them the led on them lights up but it just wants to crash past them im not using a z probe yet (need to print a mount) but anyway i have the ultimaker type 3 pin switch with the led and here are my config files any help is appreciated

Do you mean that when you try to home the printer, it doesn't stop at the endstop switches? If so:
- Which axis endstop switches doesn't it stop at?
- Does it make a difference whether you do a home all, or home the axes individually?
- What sort of endstop switches are they?
-
well after alot of testing all the switches stop when i home individually ie: home x,home y,home z the z will not stop when i home all it goes past the stop i have to emergency stop after that so not sure if the xy both stop because i have to stop the printer because of the z axis going past the endstop. and the endstops are mechanical switch active low 3pin ultimaker type like the ones on this link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Endstop-Limit-Switch-Ramps-1-4-with-Wire-for-Reprap-3D-Printer-/172132014187?hash=item2813de186b:g:Cy8AAOSwo4pYiXHC and thank you again
-
i got it to home all and stop but now any print i try to do crashes into the print head on the z any ideas on why that is?
-
If it's crashing into the bed, then it sounds like your Z homing switch isn't triggering at exactly Z=390mm which is what you have told it in your M208 S0 command.
Btw you have some lower case 'y' characters in the homey.g file that you posted above. They need to be changed to upper case Y.
-
i changed the M208 S0 to M208 S1 and it still chrashes into the print head but when i home all it stops fine then if i try to move z in any direction it moves up and crashes into the head. so if i home all the select the z axis to move down it move up and if i home all if i move up it moves up which is correct but not sure why its moving up when i tell it too move in the downward direction after it homes it moves correctly in both directions if i dont home the printer any ideas why that is? i also cant get the endstops to stop when i use the individual homing command only on the home all they work as should sorry for the all the trouble this is just driving me crazy and i know its more than likely my fault i just cant figure out where im going wrong here
-
nevermind i mangaged to sort it out just incase newbies like me read this and have the same issue i had the G92 command set wrong for my printer set it correctly and it works as intended thank you very much for all your help and dealing with my troubles
