Z axis incorrect moving after homing
-
Okay so I can see it a leadscrew. Are the steps/mm correct?
Can you post your config.g, home.g and homeall.g plain text I'm on my phone so I cant easily get into your zip file.

Yes it is lead screw. M8 metric lead.

your leadscrew you say is M8 so is that just common M8 threaded rod or is it a ACME/Trapezoidal type or possibly even a ball screw we really need to know what lead the screw is ie for one turn of the crew by how much does the Z Hight vary?
Looking at your Config I suspect your Z Steps/mm are way out? they do seem to be correct for common or garden M8 threaded rod but I suspect you may have something different

z axis threaded rod is M8 with metric thread 1.25. It is simple threaded rod. Not ball bearing.

Assuming it's a 1.8 degree motor then 200 full steps = 1.25 mm so 160 full steps per mm. @ 32 x micro stepping = 5120 so that looks correct.
You say it homes OK but after homing, when you try to move Z it moves continuously until you hit the emergency stop. Is that correct? If so, what command are you sending to move it?

Yes, you are correct. Before homing, z axis moves good (havent checked distance yet). I press home z axis. It goes and stops then reach end stop. Looks good. But then I try to move z axis, doesnt metter +0.1 or -0.1 or other distance, it moves until I press emergency… Everything control from webcontrol on my chrome explorer. Use buttons not commands.

so you Z Endstop is it triggered when the bed is close to the nozzle or away from it IE at the bottom or top of the bed travel direction I think your config is set for the Z Home to be at Max Z Travel but you photos suggest that it should home to Min Z.
Try changing your M574 line to be Z1 instead of Z2 maybe Ian (Deckingman) or DC42 can just confirm that as I may be wrong not useing cartesian Printers at the mo

Maybe you are right. Also good idea. later I will try.
If anyone has any other ideas you are welcome
need to start me printer fast as it is possible… -
What actually happens when you home Z?
Is Z=0 when the bed is at the top, close to the nozzle, or at the bottom away from the nozzle?
When you home Z , does it move close to Z = 0 then stop?
What type iof switch do you have for Z? Is it a probe or a switch? If it's switch, is it normally open or normally closed? -

Made new config. And it seems working good now. Thanks who helped
