Hi Robert,

Yes when pressing ‘home all’ the Z axis does raise first before homing the X and Y

Update

The z axis definitely doesn’t raise. Either with pause button or the cancel button.

The speed factor does work but not until the next round of g code. In my ignorance I thought it responded immediately, akin to pressing a car accelerator pedal.

Hi Robert, I have the Z1+, so as I understand it, there is no firmware update.

Whilst I’ve got you, I also tried to increase the speed factor last night, but that didn’t work either, (again not sure if it’s ever worked because it was the first time of trying it)

I’m just going down into the garage to try both again. Just in case I was doing something stupid last night.

FYI I’m using Carveco maker

Hi all,

The answer is probably hiding in plain sight, but the issue I have is when I have ‘paused’ a job, it first completes the bit of G code its currently doing and then returns to the home position, which is all well and good.

However it doesn’t raise the z height before moving to the home position, resulting in the bit carving through the workpiece on its way home.

Should the z axis automatically raise itself to the safe height before it moves to home when the pause button is pressed? if not what should I be doing to make sure the bit is raised to a safe height when pausing the job?

Thanks in anticipation.

You’ll find the slot cover in the cardboard tube along with the screw rods it is a length of the black plastic

Like the man said don’t mix the housing and shaft washers up…I got to the end and realised I had two washers left in one bag and none in the other bag. Had to redo each one measuring them with a digital caliper…and yes there is a difference in hole size.

Don’t forget to add the M5 tee nuts : )

If your eyesight isn’t what it was then this may help…The Flexible coupler has FOUR little screws. It looked to me like there were two screws going all the way through to the other side. (As instructions) Make sure the tiny grub screws are screwed onto the flat part of the stepper motor shaft.

The touch probe wire ISN’T the wire on the touch probe (yesss. I thought it was?!) The touch probe wire is the wire with the white connector hanging off the touch probe mount. The wire on the actual metal touch probe has a black connector which connects to the the bit sticking out of the touch probe mount (photo step 3).
