also I believe solidoodle calls this binding when the endstop designed to tell the printer when it hits the home/end travel location does not pop on.


Binding is when a rod is bent, or a bearing is bad and the carriage or other axiz will stop at certain points along the travel even when moved by hand.

Is there a way in software to set it?

if so what does it need to be set too?
