The board is MKS-BASE. With the help you've given me, I have been able to change the steps to what work with my printer. I had to change the steps a bit more than I thought I would have to and I think that's why I was having such a hard time. The major thing that fixed my printer was just figuring out the right steps. I had to change the defaults from {80,80,4000,500} to {80,80,370,100}. I stillby Kert Bert - Reprappers
The board that I have is a mks base 1.4. Also I have the printer printing right now, poorly but printing, so I won't be able to try any of your recent advice until I get off of work in 10 hours.by Kert Bert - Reprappers
Still rather novice at 3d printing. Where would I have to check to find and set the steps/mm? The Z drive is two m5 rods connected by belt to a stepper. Also I'm sure you're correct about it being the steps, I used the M92 command in pronterface to change the steps to 350.00 and that has seemed to fix my problem for the most part. Now the Z motor seems to miss steps, when homing it will stop at lby Kert Bert - Reprappers
The first file is an image of pronterface when I send the M119 command. It shows all mins as triggered and this is the position that it gets to when I click home in pronterface or try to start a print before it launches up. The second file shows the two lines that Dust mentioned before.by Kert Bert - Reprappers
Just checked and #define Z_HOME_DIR was set to -1 and when I invert the z motor I have the same problem, just reversed. So it tries to home at the top of the printer and if I press the endswitch it tries to jam into the bed.by Kert Bert - Reprappers
So I just built my first printer (prusa i3, big surprise) and there is one problem that I just can't figure out. I had some issues with the x and y axis not wanting to home in the right direction and my heater blew open on the first heat up, but I got all that worked out. The problem that I'm having is the z axis launching up when ever I feed it gcode, the printer will home just fine to one of thby Kert Bert - Reprappers
