Topic: Homing Problem

Recently I reverted back to Windows 7 instead of the IMac for printing.  The Mac software is near a year old, and is starting to show it's age.  I went back to the Win version of Repetier 1.0.6-R, without first loading and running the original version from Solidoodle - ie: no factory set parameters.  The machine is again printing well, EXCEPT I have to manually home the extruder prior to a print, or it starts where its at, and when it finishes or I kill the print, it just stops where its at, and I have to manually home it again.  I have checked the park option, and I thought the settings were set at 159, 150, -5 which should put it at the home position - not so.  Not a major problem, but I know it will home itself, I just have something set wrong.

Wide open for suggestions and remedies here.....

Thanx in advance.

Re: Homing Problem

I have changed or altered no codes, so where can I find the G code, other than after an stl has been sliced?  And with the new version of Repetier, it doesn't list the G code like some of the older versions.

Re: Homing Problem

Now that I look at the Repetier site, (I'm at work - no machine), I see I must have the 'Easy' option checked, thusly fewer options available.  Will look more closely when I get home.  Got used to the Mac version, somewhat limited in comparison to the new Win version.

Re: Homing Problem

In Sli3r,on the printer settings tab  click on Custom gcode. that is where you can modify the start code.

Re: Homing Problem

All the code entries are empty. 

Thanx for your replies.
