        <title>Disable Z axis while not in use.</title>
        <description> For some reason my z axis not disabling when not in use during prints and is overheating.  This has caused it to start moving down, instead of up for each layer of a print and has torn up a couple hot ends.

Can anyone point me towards code in the firmware or anywhere else so that I can identify what should be disabling the Z?

I&#039;m working with ReplicatorG, Gen3 Electronics.

Thanks.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Even if it is not disabling, it should not be over heating. I recommend turning down the potentiometer so that it stays cooler.<br />
<br />
If you are using the standard 5D firmware, something to keep in mind is that many settings are broken out by motherboard type. When you change a setting, you need to look at the "if define MOTHERBOARD" lines to make sure that you are editing settings that relate to your motherboard.<br />
<br />
It almost sounds like you accidentally changed the setting that inverts the axis instead of the one that disables an inactive axis as well, so just double check that.]]></description>
