Hello,
I am working on prusa mendal i2 and its z axis home position is not working properly, when try to give the z home value its start making noise and work by z axis switch moreover it only goes for 10 rotations only althought the pressing the z axis switch. So please advise me any suggestions about it.
Thanks

Are you sure that your steps per mm are set correctly? Is the problem that it stops before hitting the z axis switch or that it doesnt stop when it does hit the switch?

I haven't done with steps per unit. But it stops when it hits the switch. The main problem is why it is only going with 10 rotation when push the z home.
Advise me about the same.
Thank you very much.

if you have not configured your steps per mm then it may think that 10 rotations is the entire size of the z axis, and will stop itself without the switch being activated as a safety feature.

there is a good tutorial on how to configure this
