Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

When my Rostock MAX finishes a print, it returns to the top and then goes crazy swinging to one side. My concern is when it swings to the side, I can hear the drive belts skipping on the toothed pulley. This can't be good. I tried to manually enter an "all stop" code at the end of the gcode, but it didn't help. So, any idea how to stop the crazy swing?

Thanks....

There's an option in Repetier Host's printer config to go to a specific position after the print. As preconfigured, this moves to an X offset. You need to turn this off. When in home position, the print head can't move in X or Y without trying to push one or more carriages up past the endstop. The Marlin firmware isn't smart enough to prevent this.

Unfortunately this leads to a discouraging first print when the printer tries to self-destruct. Not a good first impression.

The firmware does what it is told, plain and stupid. Disable the park after print complete feature in repetier host. Add "G0 Z(your machines max height, mine is) 360.9. Should fix the issue.

G28 works fine too

Okay, thanks for the technical support. To solve I went in to Repetier Host, selected the "Config" pulldown menu, clicked on "printer settings" (cntrl + p) and clicked on the "printer" tab (second tab over) and then unchecked the box next to "Go to Park Setting After Job/Kill" then clicked Apply and OK. Problem solved. Thanks everyone.
