CW first run: Z-axis moves, but not on "home"

Postby erenaud » Thu Nov 05, 2015 11:07 am

Hi all,

I am just trying to run Creation Workshop for the first time (again)
on a new hardware.

Everything seems to be fine, but when I press the "Z-home" button, the Z-axis does not move downwards to it's home position.

If I click Z -10, it doesn't move either.

If I click Z +10, it DOES move up,
and then down again if I press Z -10 again.

However it never goes further down as it was when I turned everything on.

What I am trying to do is configure the Z Endstop, and for this I need the Z-axis to move down first to position zero.

What's wrong here?

Thank you in advance for any help.

If you're using marlin, you'll have to disable your software endstops

@Tom

It is indeed Marlin. I am using the firmware as downloaded from mUVe3d.net with the mUVe 1.5 DLP Hardware.
But I'll look into this.
Thanks.

The physical endstop "Z-" was not correctly wired. corrected it, now it works.

Thanks again.
