              You notice the G92 commands in both your homeall.g and homez.g files?

              That command is telling the firmware that the Z position is now 0.

              You need to change that 0 to the actual number that applies to your printer unless of course 0 is correct.

                @tmeryhew can check your z endstop is triggering correctly using M119?
                check it when its not triggered and then again when it is. the status should change accordingly

                  It’s like it’s changing the Z zero point every time I hit home all or home z. The printer is 300x220x300. And I want the zero point to be at 0,0,0.

                      Did you read about the G92 command?

                      It is setting the Z position to 0 at the end of homeall.g and homez.g.

                      The question is what is that actual Z position when the G92 is executed.

                        So in the first instance, no switches were triggered. Yet, Z was saying it was at the min stop.

                        In the second instance, I triggered just the Z switch by hand.

                        In the third instance I released Z but I triggered X by pushing the extruder head up against the switch.

                        And in the last instance I kept X triggered with the extruder head, Y triggered by the bed, and Z was not actually triggered at all... even though it says it was being triggered. So no matter what, it always says that Z is being triggered.

                          Here is my Cr-10 Mini. The first picture is how things should look when home all. I am pointing to the three micro switches.

                          Each of these switches only has two wires on them. Other than the Duet 2 and a spool holder with bearing inserts, this machine is completely original to when I bought it directly from the manufacturer. No other modifications have been made.

                            @tmeryhew looks like you have issues with your z stop or the zstop wiring. Which is why it's only moving up as the z stop is always triggered.
                            Check your wiring as it's not a software issue

                              Is there a reason you have the pullups enabled with ^? What kind of endstop switches are they?

                              What does M119 show when the switches are manually depressed or not?

                              How bout this?

                              I think you can remove the ^ from your pin names in the M574 commands. I see no reason for them to be there for the CR-10.

                              How do you have the endstops wired at the board? They should be connected to the outer 2 pins on the connector.

                                I’m going to try to tag you in a different post I made regarding the endstop switches. I did what was recommended by another person on here.

                                And yes, I am using the outer two pins on the connectors at the board.

                                EDIT: check this link as to why I picked those settings.

                                  So guess what... one of the pins was unseated at the board! Hidden by a wire label.... 🙄
