End homing sequence after print from SD

Post by ApacheXMD »

Another problem I'm facing is printing from an SD card on the LCD controller. When the print is finished, the homing sequence is weird. All three carriages start to move up, but the Z axis will stop about halfway up the tower, and the rest will keep on going, this causes the arms to bind up and do very bad things. I have my experimental magnetic ball joints in place so it just pops the joints off and the platform just falls to the bed, so it's not terrible for me, but it still shouldn't be doing that right?

Anyone else print from SD card seeing this issue?

In my Kisslicer settings I made sure to have a G28 at the end of the print.

Something is obviously making it move that way. Open up the gcode file with a text editor and check the end. Post it here if you'd like some opinions on what may be causing the issue.

It could be one of two things, bad GCode as mentioned and thats the first thing to look at.
The second is noise causing a false positive on the endstop switch during the homing sequence, does the second half of the homing sequence run when the other carriages get to the top?

Hmm, the two times that it happened ive been quick with the power switch so i didnt see if the other two homed correctly.

I'll double check my gcode and maybe do a dry run without the arms attached to see what happens after z stops.
