Hi Ryan, I have a screw 750x1000. I cannot figure what the Z parameter needs to be set to for homex, homey, homez.
Thanks
Colin Kent
Hi Colin, The Z Parameter doesn’t need changing leave it as firmware default. Ryan
Hi Ryan, I keep getting an M120 error code when trying to home x,y and z. Something like “outside working limits” . It just homes in the middle as though there is only a 20mm working area. I’ve set the x and y at 800 and 770, ( I have the 1000mm x 1000mm).
Hi,
Thanks for your comment, have you set the X and Y in the homing files in Step 10?
Best Regards
Ryan Lock
Just to clarify Step 7 is now Step 10 as some steps have been removed.
