Bed moving down by home command.
Hello, I have a problem with initializing the V-Core 4 Hybrid. I have all stepper motors working in the right direction. The bed I can move up and down with the arrows after the M1 command. But when I restart and click on the orange "HOME", all X and Y movements go correctly, but the bed keeps going down, without stopping.

Sounds like you need to invert the z direction
If you don't like how "up" moves the bed closer to the printhead, you can reverse that in the mainsail settings
Hello TheTik, I can't understand, the commands before, Z, Z1 and Z2 stepper moving all in the right direction..But wen I go to the next: 9. Run the following command in your console:
M18
10. Lower the Z arms by 10 - 20mm by hand, rotating the lead screws slowly.
11. Use the mainsail buttons to move the bed 10mm up and down.
There happent nothing..I can't use the arrows to move the bed..
When I callibrate the X and Y, the bad moves a litle down and then a little up..
There fore, I think the Z dirretion are okay.
What happens when you press the button for step 11?
Nothing..I have all the Z steppers reverse and will try that first..
When I push the home button, Y an Y homing, but the Z are moving up to cloas to the nozzle, I push then the emergency button.
the beacon callibration are going now..fingers crossed?
Thnx TheTik for your advice, now calibration the bed...
What do you think..Can I move on to the next challenge?
a total variance smaller than a layer height is considered good 👍
Hmm, thnx for you advice.
