Help With Z-Axis Hello everyone! So, I got my motors moving and homing finally, but there's a bit of an issue. My Z-axis only controls the Z motor, not the lift of the print head. I'm not wholly sure how to fix this, but it's causing a bit of a problem for me. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,747516#msg-747516 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:56:22 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748182#msg-748182 Re: Help With Z-Axis https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748182#msg-748182 AmericanOtaku44 Reprappers Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:13:14 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748168#msg-748168 Re: Help With Z-Axis https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748168#msg-748168
What happens when you home all,do all motors move the rails to the top in the homing position at the same time, or is it one by one?

If this is the case then your firmware might be setup for a Cartesian printer and not a delta]]> scottybfg Reprappers Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:12:41 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748158#msg-748158 Re: Help With Z-Axis https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748158#msg-748158 AmericanOtaku44 Reprappers Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:46:06 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748092#msg-748092 Re: Help With Z-Axis https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,748092#msg-748092
What is "the lift of the print head" ?

My Z-axis only controls the Z motor, not the lift of the print head.

If it only moves the bed up/down, then that makes sense.

The z motor moves the z axis and it either increases/decreases the distance between the hotend and the bed.]]> stephenrc Reprappers Mon, 13 Feb 2017 12:36:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,747516#msg-747516 Help With Z-Axis https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,747516,747516#msg-747516 AmericanOtaku44 Reprappers Sat, 11 Feb 2017 14:17:59 -0500
