So I have a Rostock V2 that when I hit home towers on the LCD, it obliges, and the 3 cheapskates go to the end-stops. It waits a second, making you think "Oh, good. Everything's fine." Then it almost full-speed drops to the build plate and slams the hot end into the glass plate. I can only attribute it to the printer not being happy with me for some reason. It seems a sort of spiteful action. Anyway, anyone else experience this? How do I make it stop?!
Cheers

Re: Home Towers works, then SLAMS into bed.
Have you calibrated it yet? Have you moved anything on it since you calibrated yet?

Yes, I've calibrated it. This is after I've already done a print. I went to check my Z-zero and it was correct, hit home, then it goes to the top, sits there for a second, then drops like a lead weight and slams into the print bed. Then I have to hit the power switch on the printer to get the hot end off the bed.
Re: Home Towers works, then SLAMS into bed.
Can you post your Configuration.h file. There is a parameter that tells the print to back off the endstops after homing. I wonder of that got set to something large enough to cause the carriages to back off all the way to the bed.
