i3 mendel emotiontech Z axis home don't work
November 20, 2013 11:08AM
My printer is working correctly with this setting, but when I get home Z axis does not work. This must be done manually.
After clicking on the Home key can Z-axis approach a little bit toward the stopend, then hangs and engines emit unpleasant sound.
I tried all possible settings but no help ... Please help

First thing to check would be the wiring on the Z axis limit switch.

If the motors are making a lot of noise, that probably means the Z carriage is running into something before it triggers the limit switch.

Either:

1) the limit switch is set too low
2) there is something (like the top of a rod coupler) blocking the Z before the carrage gets to the proper location.
3) the limit switch is not wired right or it's plugged into the wrong connector
4) the firmware is not set up to recognize the limit switch
5) there is crud on the Z rods that is hanging up the nuts in the carrage
