As the title says. After a job all steppers disable so the spindle can move around freely. This results in the spindle dropping into the workpiece which is very annoying.
I have checked the firmware but it did not make me any wiser. Tried setting disable Z to false in the configuration_adv file. But that did not change anything.
Gcode is created with fusion360 and i believe the latest post processor.
Am i missing something?
For Marlin, you could set it in your GCODE with:
M84 S0
The m84 command is already in the GCODE at the start:
*** START begin ***
; Set Absolute Positioning
; Units = mm
; Disable stepper timeout
G90
G21
M84 S0
; *** START end ***
I don’t use the Fusion PP, but for mine the M84 is also at the start so I would think that is fine.
Do the steppers disable as soon as the job finishes (versus say after a while and maybe the motors are overheating)?
Can you attach a g-code file to a post so I can take a look?
the steppers disable when the machine is back at 0,0 and the job finishes
What are you using to send the Gcode?
Repetier Host, for example is known to send M84 when the job is complete. (I think this is in “Printer Settings” in RH.) so if you are using Repetier Host with its default configuration, it will send M84 and disable the steppers, no matter what you’ve set as a timeout.
Other gcode senders might do something similar.
Using an SD card, you will only get the Gcode in the job.
I use repetier host. ill check the settings
In Repetier-Host in Config/Printer Setttings/Printer:
yeah thats it. Thank you all
