Re: Parking and Homing

You have your Z axis travel limit set to -141.00 and your error log shows a number of "907 Z axis limit exceeded". Perhaps you need to review and reset your travel limit within the actual machine capability. Home machine / type Alt D to view live MCS rather than WCS ensuring you have Z 0 /...
