RRF 3 Z home not triggering.

this is the construction of my printer

First I wonder why you have three cables at your endstops, because my are looking the same and two cables are sufficient: using left and right means closed when not active and they open when endstop is triggered.

I would expect some pressure between left and right, so if you change direction of one Z side, it will stuck at the trapezoid spindle. First test would be to let fixed the spindle and the linear guide on one side (let's say it is left), but loose the other (right) side a bit (trapezoid screw and linear guide) (like a fixed bearing and a loose bearing at CNC machines for installing ball bearings). So the right side can move a bit horizontally if necessary.

@JoergS5 i just soldered on ones for the no, nc and common because i didnt want to have to dissasemble them to solder them if i ever needed to in the future, both of the NO contacts are disconnected underneith

JoergS5

@joehsmash ok I understand and it's ok of course.

joehsmash

@JoergS5 the construction of the lead screws are integrated into the stepper, so theres no adjustments that can be made.

i can how ever manually adjust where the screw lays on the endstop clamp but for reasons i have posted before i wouldnt put all that pressure onto the one little tiny screw.

JoergS5

And I cannot see exactly that this green connector is and how it is connected to the stepper, can you make a close picture of it please?

joehsmash

@JoergS5 the green your looking at it just tape, so i can visualize if each of the stepper is moving.

i use it to verify if the mesh is working or not.

joehsmash

JoergS5

So the trapezoid spindle is directly inside the stepper? Or is there a coupler between?

joehsmash

@JoergS5 these are integrated lead screws. there are no couplers.

JoergS5

Ok I understand now.

Now what do you mean by weak screw where you don't want the whole load on. Which "tiny little screw"?

JoergS5

Could you make a ~~M112~~ M122 after a calibration test and look for error messages please?

joehsmash

You can see where the top of the lead nut is embeded into the upper gantry. so technically i could cheat it and raise the gantry and tighten it down onto the lead nut with that screw.

joehsmash

@JoergS5 what do you mean after a calibration test?

JoergS5

I mean after you run your procedure for Z leveling which fails with 0.5 mm fault. After this test/macro/... make a ~~M112~~ - sorry M122

I don't see errors (error counts or hiccups) in M122.

You should try the test of loosing one side and run the test again. Releasing the side is only for the test.

One idea is your little screw is connected to a plastic part. This part is much weaker than all the steel/brass around, so it will flex much more under pressure.
