To verify your current settings during calibration just an M666 will show the current offsets. Using the command M666 X0.72 would offset the X1 stepper 0.72mm away from it’s endstop, Y! can also be used. The unfortunately designated M666 lets you test your offset to quickly calibrate your machine. Then verify a positive movement is away from the end stops.

Also verify the X1 corresponds to the X1 stepper. You can test them individually by closing each one by hand and running an M119.

Open when not touching and closed when they are. You should check that each endstop registers both an open and closed status before proceeding. Now just a minor offset adjustment will correct this.Īfter all the endstops have been connected issuing a M119 command will let you see the current status of each endstop. Changes in build accuracy due to use and environmental conditions need to be adjusted out or accounted for manually. A skewed axis will result in ovals and parallelograms instead of circles and 90° cornered rectangles. A poor build or lack of axis alignment before each job will result in a non square skewed axis. This makes fixturing, tool changes, and multi-day jobs extremely difficult to get repeatable results. If the steppers are ever disengaged during use only the side of the axis with an endstop can accurately be accounted for. This involves setting of each axis before engaging the steppers and locking it in place.

This should reliably give you repeat-ability on the order of your endstops resolution, even after powering off.īefore this new firmware update all the machines in this category relied 100% on the users build accuracy, or manual measuring. Using this fact and the new dual endstop firmware we can now more precisely and accurately set the position of every single stepper on the machine independently. The Mostly Printed CNC and LowRider CNC are unique in the fact that two of the axes are powered at each end of the axis. Since day one I have never encouraged endstops be used, until now. The Dual EndStop firmware update enables unprecedented precision more easily than ever before.
