Printer will not move manually on z axis

printerfanatic · January 2017

My K200 delta printer is not able to move the z axis manually. It moves great on the x/y but whenever i try to move the z nothing happens. Does anyone know the reason this might be happening? Thank you in advance!

Any hints in log? Homed before moving? Which firmware?

No hints in log. I never calibrated it because I was never able to yet. Reprap firmware .

That is not very logical. How can you move xy - it uses all motors and also check endstops. You need to home which is also a z move, so does that work?

Have you checked eeprom for wrong values. These can often prevent moves. Like z length 0.

Home works for me. I don't know how to check eeprom values. How do you do that?

Use repetier host or server and select eeprom editor.

ok how do i know if the values are wrong in eeprom

Repetier · February 2017

They have a meaning and 0 or NaN or in most cases wrong, especially for z length or steps per mm.

yes in eeprom the z length is 0.0000 what do i do? or what do i change it to?

Your z length = max. Print height of the printer would be in that variable.
