How to get Simplify3D's jog controls to respect endstops?

Hi,
Why are you using the S3D control panel?

Hi,
Why are you using the S3D control panel?
FrederickWhy wouldn't I / what else would I use short of using straight Gcode commands?
FYI: I'm on RADDS, and no PanelDue: I only use host software like S3D or Octoprint to control it in such ways. -
You can use the M208 command to set minimum and maximum positions for each axis. However, you need to home the printer before those limits can be enforced.

Thanks David : The issue is, as you said, I'd have to auto-home the machine every time I turn it on… which while doable, is a bit annoying :S
How about a g1.g file where we can override the behavior?

What is RADDS?

What is RADDS?
Stepper driver board for Arduino based printers : http://doku.radds.org/dokumentation/radds/
Don't know how this is linked to Duet … -
He is using the RRF Firmware on a due/Radds combination so is valid here.

Hi,
So he doesn't have access to the web server that a DuetWiFi board provides?
Thanks.

"…have access to the web server that a DuetWiFi board provides?"
To my knowledge I do not, which is why I use S3D/Octoprint for everything. If anyone has got the webserver working with RADDS, I'd be glad to hear it
But since there's no wifi\ethernet on the RADDS board, just micro-usb… (which I plug into my PC for S3D control, or plug into my RaspberryPi for Octoprint control).History: I had a spare Due board laying around, and I figured the bar to entry was pretty low to just buy the RADDS 'hat' to stick on it. I used Repetier at first with that combo, but RRF seemed so great (and it has been) I switched to it a while back: Back then the duetwifi\ethernet weren't out: only the original board. I'd definitely get a duet ethernet now, if I wanted to spend more money
Anyway, I'm happy with what I have, it just seems the firmware doesn't play too well with other gocde senders that don't respect/know about the S1 parameter for G1 moves. I thought others that were in my predicament may have solved this. I'm probably an outlier though based on my hardware config, so if there is no solution that's fine.

BTW, I actually had set a M208 in my config.g : And yep (once I home), if I jog into a negative zone, it totally does exactly what it's supposed to. So really, the only problem is when I first power on the machine and start jogging around before I've homed. I'll just log that in the memory-bank from now on as something I need to do. Thanks David.

On delta and SCARA printers, the only moves allowed before homing are G1 S1 moves (homing moves) and G1 S2 moves (special moves). I have it in mind to extend this restriction to other printer geometries in the next firmware version.
