Z axis speed at start up?
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2019 2:59 pm
Is there a way to change the z axis speed at the start of a print?
I'm not sure what I did but this printer been running for years with no issues. I was changing the z height by checking with M500 and then M206 ect. like I've done many a times. I'm not sure if I changed something by mistake but the bed wouldn't go up at the start of a print. I tried many things including reflashing the firmware between the latest and even the original beta version for the Rev E. I finally figured out that the bed was trying to move in the wrong direction literally like the motor was turning the wrong way than it should. (almost like a had Rev D firmware) I ended up turning the plug around at the board and this seemed to fix things. (is it even posiable for the motor to switch (polarity?) like that?)
Anyway the printer works like normal now but it takes 45+ seconds for the bad to get to the top at the start of a print..... so is there a way to speed this up?
Help me Obi-ED Kenobi you're my only hope. (seriously I think your the only one left here who knows anything any more.)
