G1 Homing questions
-
This line, G1 Z-5 F6000 S2 , lowers my bed away from the nozzle for X and Y homing.
My Z axis is set up from 0 to 350mm, with 0 being bed raised to max near nozzle and 350 being bed lowered to max, farthest from nozzle.
The Z direction is set by this line, M569 P2 S0.Q1. Why is the Z move command G1 Z-5 to move downward? Should it not be Z+5, eg if Z is at +3, the relative move +5 should lower bed to +8?
Q2. X and Y home properly, bumping endstop, move back 5mm, bump again slowly and stay at zero. If I add a "G1-5" to back off the endstop after the second bump, is axis home set at the endstop bump position or at the final -5mm position? Code example with second move away from endstop:
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 X310 F1800 ; move quickly to X axis endstop and stop there (first pass)
G1 X-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 S1 X310 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 X-5 F6000 ; ADDED LINE FOR MOVING BACK AFTER SECOND HOMING BUMP
G1 Z-5 F6000 S2 ; lower Z again
G90 ; absolute positioning -
q1) the configurator normally does generate with z5. you might have set a parameter for the opposite direction on initial config.
q2) that depends on your M208 minima settings. it is set to the minima position.
