Ultimaker Z axis config problem.
-
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.

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.

many thanks. figured out with your help. works as it should.
