Topic: Need help with my Z axis and end stop

Ok I have replaced the main board on my 3D printer and everything is great except for the Z axis and the end stop. My machine is an UP Mini and the Z axis end stop is at the bottom of the machine instead like other machines where it is a top.
Is there a way to add a line to the firmware, which is G-code, to tell the machine to go to the max travel before printing?

Re: Need help with my Z axis and end stop

What  host program are you using if you are using repetteir  it should be as simple as changing the  z home setting on the printer shape page  probably need to set z home to max and make sure the print area height is set to the correct number.
And you need to home the printer Each time you power up and connect  as it powers up at 0,0.0 so unless that is where it is parked it needs to be homed.
