Well i just finished installing the unit and looks great, the only problem is that nothing moves.
After installation i went trough the setting routine and apparently everything went fine, but when i go to homing i get 2 messages:
Error (14): homing cycle failed
Error (15): GRBL Error: Homing Failed, could not find the limit switch.
There is the noise of a motor, but nothing moves, then the above messages appear.
I checked the 3 homing switches in the Active Input: and all three switches are reporting correctly.
By the way i installed the X limit switch as suggested in the PDF, using the existing bracket, but moving the carriage by hand to the extreme right after cutting the power, the X limit switch does not reach the side support to make contact.
Th3e switches are installed correctly, the Z at the base of the Z motor and the X using the same bracket and using the only two holes available in that area.
The 3 switches tested correctly and the X switch is at 3 or 4mm from the side plate.
I am Googling the problem now and looks like that I am not the first one with this problem.
Now considering the position where the Z plate is it should not complain about switches if they test correctly.
And why one of the motors is making noise for a number of seconds without anything moving.
People mention the beta upgrade version, i never like to install beta versions.
It is Friday and support will not be there until Monday
I solved this problem just now, and i remember having the same problem when i first assembled the machine.
If the bracket that hold the X belt on the right side is not a little twisted to the back, the carriage black V shaped wheel bangs on the bracket and cannot go further to the right.
The solution is holding the bracket with a flat screwdriver while tightening the screw.
Problem solved, the Z micro switch is faulty, it marks close even when it is in the open position, I had to check it with the tester.
I don’t know what the switches test in the settings is for, it marks correctly when the switches are activated but not when are not activated.
I will contact support to buy some of those and keep them here.
Thanks
Alfredo
I also had the right side X belt bracket keeping the Z carriage from going all the to the right. As stated above I loosened the screw and held the bracket to the back and tightened the bracket screw. Problem fixed.
