Finally all axis's and endstops are working properly in Marlin and
home correctly with m-code in RepetierHost.

Printing the first part the printer homes and heaters heat, but none of the axis
ever move, except the extruder and it's extruding as if it were printing.?

Using repetier-host, marlin, ramps1.4 w/2560 on a solidoodle2 frame.
This is my first (re)build.
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean that they move when manualy told to?

check max feed rates

> "Do you mean that they move when manualy told to?"
Yes, full control manually in rHost, and marlin via display/control.. Can drive all axis into their endstops, it stops movement. Drive the axis towards non-endstop end and software stops it just before crash.
Ramps test code does its thing in all axis. Only running the initial/test print gives the unexpected result of extrusion but no XYZ cooperation.

> "check max feed rates"
where should I check, in RH or configuration.h?

My gut says all this is rookie mistake from fuzzy comprehension of the following;
home, origin, max/min, zero and the enstops relation to those terms in RH setup and configuration.h.
Thanks

max feed rates is in configuration.h

what I suspect is your just telling the axis to move to quickly when printing, vs the gui which uses a slower feed rate

convert a test cube to gcode, and take a look at the gcode, first 20 lines are probably enough, look for G1 command that have a X or Y parameter... this is a move
the F parameter either on the same line or a previous line sets the feed rate.

(paste your eg into pastebin.com and post a link here for examination)

also do a M503, and paste the output, in case it shows anything useful.

Max feedrate set to XY 150 in cofiguration.h, also at pastebin. Attachment is pic of repetierH printer settings
Thanks

What positions do you have your end stop switches ?

In your config.h you have them set for x,y,z - max
"

383.// @section homing


384.


385.// Specify here all the endstop connectors that are connected to any endstop or probe.


386.// Almost all printers will be using one per axis. Probes will use one or more of the


387.// extra connectors. Leave undefined any used for non-endstop and non-probe purposes.


388.//#define USE_XMIN_PLUG

389.//#define USE_YMIN_PLUG

390.//#define USE_ZMIN_PLUG

391.#define USE_XMAX_PLUG // <<<

392.#define USE_YMAX_PLUG // <<<

393.#define USE_ZMAX_PLUG <<<
"


but in Rep host you have them set to min.

would this cause a conflict ?

>"What positions do you have your end stop switches ?"
Facing the printer's front, endstops are located at X right, Y back, Z top.

>"but in Rep host you have them set to min. would this cause a conflict ?"
Changed them back to MAX then zero but got same result. sigh

Attachment shows preview of layer 0 travel (odd yes?). That start position is opposite the XY endstop positions.
Thanks

It was something to do with Z homing or min/max.
Many thanks for assistance.
