Re: Homing and Drive Enable
you could write your own home program to trick the clearpaths into homing to hard stop G1 Z.01 F10 ; short Z positive move to enable the Z axis drive which now takes over and homes the Z axis to a hard stop (or make this a long move depending on the mode you put the clearpaths into) G4 P10 ; wait fo...

Re: Z axis loses it's place.
what make model size of motors and drives?
sounds like lost steps which could be due to be too much drag/binding/sticking on Z axis
