Hi,

I am currently using marlin firmware with ramps 1.4. I have tried manually move the stepper motors. It seems to work pretty well but, when i tried printing something the z axis doesnt moves sad smiley

Any one can help? Thanks!

is this an orca printer? have you hooked up thermistor yet?

Config looks ok to me, but it seems strange to use all 6 limit switches. you may want to install all of them for z axis to work correctly. z homes at top on the orca correct?
