Re: Y-Axis can't find zero right

Hi jsc,
as you could see in my video I even took the bed of to prevent any movement, even wiggling on the cable didn't make it stop.

Re: Y-Axis can't find zero right

Hi chh2, you miss understood the switch is right on the spot. Let's put it this way! After every print for some of us the Y-Axis moves forward (to 240) to present the object. If I now start my next print the start code gives the command G28 (all axis home), the X-Axis goes to zero first then the Y-A...

Re: Y-Axis can't find zero right

You need to concentrate on Y- movement every time the machine stops it thinks it is on zero.
Sometimes when I move back from Y+ 250 ish it takes 3-4 time hitting the home Y button before I actually hit the switch.
I tried to catch it on video but it didn't do it with camara.

Re: Y-Axis can't find zero right

Why, in your video, does it travel to max Y before homing? Are you doing that with the jog controls, or is it doing that by itself? The sequence is a macro it makes the Y_Axis home zero then Y+255 and back to Y home zero. (The home is commanded with G28 Y0.) I need to move Y in a + distance in orde...

Y-Axis can't find zero right

Hi all, for a few days now I'm having trouble with my Y-Axis finding zero and or skipping steps with the result in shifting in x and y. I made a video in this video every stop means zero on Y-Axis. http://youtu.be/S3VjHBG3UqY tn_IMG_1664.JPG Any ideas what could course that? The link for the factory...
