Quick G-code thing G1 sends an axis to a position. For example, you want the plate to go down. You can do

G1 Z200 F400

That tells it to send the Z axis to position 200 at a feedrate of 400. Note: Z direction on the Press is pointing down. Z0 is the plate all the way up and Z200 is the plate all the way down.

Also, since the Z upper end stop IS the probe sensor, you must home X & Y before homing Z.

Enjoy!

Wohoo... Found out how to fix it. So just going to post it here for anyone else that get stuck. After reading a few thread, they mentioned to Home X and Y. I couldn't find it in any of the dorp down. That isn't an option in the menu.

So I went to Tool > Printer Config. I hit the Home X and then Home Y. Then I hit Home Z.. the table started to drop. Which is awesome. Now going to recalibrate Z w/ the Sensor pushed down manually.

Hey Guys,

Finally unboxed my press and decided to follow the great color manual. Guess what.. it doesn't match to the new version of Solidoodle. I was able to figure out the most of it.

So while doing the z Calibration, the table started to rise. It kept going till it pushed against the extruder head. I noticed that teh sensor didn't drop down.

I went ahead an manually drop the sensor, but I can't get the table to come down.

I tried pressing the power for 2 second for it to reset, but no luck.

Can someone give me advice on how to make the table go down. Maybe there is a G-Code command? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
