Z Axis home speed varies.

Phaedrux

Is it always only homez that you are calling? Are there any other macros in between that could be altering the speed of the probe dive, (m558 F) or the speed limit of the Z axis itself?

Karim

@Phaedrux No I don't have any macros, only bed.g have the 558 but that's after home z.

@Karim if you home Z after you have already run G32 then the Z homing speed will be 60mm/min because that was set in line 13 of bed.g.

To avoid this, use M558 in homez.g to reset the probing speed before the G30 command.

Karim

@dc42 ok like this

Don't use the full line, just M558 F300. If you use the full line things can get reset in G31.

Karim

@Phaedrux said in Z Axis home speed varies.:

M558 F300

This does not work. The only way it goes to normal speed (F300) is by emergency stop or power off then power on.

This does not work.

I bet against: just home Z twice - the second time, it should run at normal speed.

I think you should move the line

M558 F300          ; Reset Probe Speed.

from the very end of home.g to its beginning - else, the intended speed change can't affect the G30 in the line above …

Karim

@infiniteloop Still does not work.

Bet lost … So, I have no clue …

Karim

@infiniteloop , ok I think I got it, It's working now, I add the M558 F300 after G32 in the homeall.g

infiniteloop

@Karim said in Z Axis home speed varies.:

It's working now

Glad to hear that

Karim

Thanks guys.
