Strangest issue yet, Z not moving during print
-
Do you have anything in your tool change files? Tpre tpost etc.
Yes you can swap the SD card for testing. I was going to suggest trying different drivers but if they move normally during other moves just not a print something else must be wrong.
Can you send m906 and m913 during a print to check motor currents?

should be
G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Reset tool 0 axis offsetsand the offset should be defined in G31
and the difference for the second one should be defined in G10 P1 -
@Veti
You were on to something Veti, I removed the Z Offset for tool 0, no change, so I removed the offset for tool 1 as well now it works fine. I know there is a way to set tool offsets in the tool change files but not sure how to do that.@Phaedrux
Here is what is in my tool change files. The tool 0 files are the same aside from to tool pickup/drop off locations.tfree1.g
G53 G0 X350 Y278 F25000 ; Rapid to the approach position with tool-0. (park_x, park_y - offset)
G53 G1 Y357 F2000 ; Controlled move to the park position with tool-0. (park_x, park_y)
M98 P"/macros/TOOL_CHANGE/Tool_Unlock.g" ; Unlock the tool
M400
G4 P500
G53 G1 Y278 F6000 ; Retract the pin.
M106 P6 S0 ; Fan offtpost1.g
M106 R2 ; restore print cooling fan speedtpre1.g
G0 X350 Y278 F25000 ; Rapid to the approach position without any current tool.
G1 Y357 F2000 ; Controlled move to the pickup position with tool-0.
M400
G4 P500
M98 P"/macros/TOOL_CHANGE/Tool_Lock.g" ; Lock the tool
M400
G4 P500
G1 Y278 F6000 ; Retract the entire tool.
M98 P"/macros/TOOL_CHANGE/Tool_Lock.g" ; Lock the tool
G60 S2 ; Save this position as the reference point from which to later apply new tool offsets. -

what you are configuring there is that the nozzle is 0.8mm above 0.
so in order to print it would have to move 0.6 (assuming 0.2 layer height) below zero.
yet normaly movement below 0 is forbidden (for good reasons) -
@Veti
Yes, so I have two tools that get picked up by the tool head like what is done in the E3D tool changer. I am using a Bltouch as my Z-probe and it triggers the nozzle is around 0.4 to 0.6 above the bed so I applied those Z offsets in the G10. I may not be doing it right though.... -

It was changed in rrf to allow you to set the min and max in a single line and that is how I do it on my CoreXY printer. This is my m208 line which works perfectlyM208 X-5:340 Y0:334 Z450

do check again, because it explains exactly why it does not move for the first 3 layers.

@Veti
Yep that was the whole issue did two prints last night and all went successfully.
Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction!
