How to Home Z on Dbot CoreXY??
-
Ah, did see you responded so quickly. Yes that is how mine looked, therefore I will put it back in that same position like you have. The screw did bend the end stop, but it looked like it wasn't hitting before the issues. I will check it again as well.
When I hit move Z in plus it does move down towards the bottom and - moves it towards the hot end. Is that correct?

When I get home this evening I will give your config files a try and post feedback on them. I really appreciate you helping out.

Yeah, that seems correct. I was only saying to verify that as that was my first problem with getting Z homing to work, I had it the wrong way around and somehow associated "+" with "up", without realizing that it's inverted since it's the bed that moves and not the hotend like on my Prusa i3.
E: Another thing worth noting is that the end stops will not work when you're manually controlling the printer.
So if you're physically at Z50, and tell the printer to do a relative move of Z-100, it will crash right through the endstop. Just something to keep in mind, I learned this the hard way. -
Hey flawi,
I have had a chance to implement your file structure and I have to say a BIG thank you. Worked perfect, everything homes in exactly as it should. I looked through the config files you generated and I like some of the features, they were better than the originals. I did have to obviously modify the code for my specific setup, such as my hot end. Speaking of which one piece of code is missing or not doing what I need it to. I usually can enter a temp amount in the main screen and it will turn the hot end on and let me know it is active. I can enter the amount of temp, but it doesn't turn it on. There is something I am missing? Any ideas? Here is the coding for my hot end.

flawi,
Any chance you made a config-override.g file? I would love to take a look at that as well if you did. Thanks again for all of your help!

Glad to hear you got it working!
I added my config-override.g to the same folder on Drive. It only includes the results of the PID autotuning so nothing very interesting.
I see your other problem was already answered in the other thread, you just need to set some tool as active. I have it in my Slic3r start code, but I guess it could just as well be in the end of config.g.
