    Hoping someone can help me out with this issue. I have a workbee 1010 that I built last year had some issues starting up and got lots of help from this forum so here is the newest problem.
    I have been running the machine this morning and set up a job and when i started it the x axis went straight up and hit the limit switch. I have the blackbox with this machine and tried to do some resets and now I can't push the home all button it's greyed out. I checked all limit switches they all work no problem there. Hoping someone has an idea what it could be.

    Thanks

    X = left to right
    Y = front to back
    Z = up and down
    .
    Does your GCODE contain a G53 Z0? If its out of fusion, set your start and end of job height to Z-10. Z0 will hit the switch

    no it does not and it happens to all the jobs I try to use. I use v-carve and easel and the same problem happens when I try to run either jobs.

    Check wiring, if you think X is the up and down axis, you may have wiring swopped
