Hi James, I want to disable the z-axis end stop except for during homing operation as activation of the z-axis end stop prevents the printer from traveling below Z0 while printing. Z0 position is set...

I'm not sure if it is a bug or not, it seems that in motion.h there are references to check_endstop in motion.h void queue_move(byte check_endstops,byte pathOptimize) { printer_state.flag0 &=...
View ArticleRe: Disable End Stops on Repetier-host?
The reason is quite simple. Queue_move is used by normal moves and the homing commands. Even if you disable ALWAYS_CHECK_ENDSTOPS checks should still occur duringhoming, hence the flag. If you want...

As a person who has used reed switches in other applications. Do NOT use them as home switches. Replace them. The range is random, and the hysteresis is large.

I'm trying to use them as they are what came pre-installed on my CubeX printer. They worked for 3D systems so I i see no reason why they wont wrk for me.
