Newbie here. Can't home my machine.
Hello,
I have problem homing my machine. I am totally new to the CNC stuff.
Here is video:

When I press "home all" the Z axis starts moving up, reach top and starts moving down. It makes weird noise while moving down and stops after few seconds. Then I must reset the whole machine with the big red button to be able to control it again.
I searched a little on internet and tried setting the soft-limits to 1000000, but it made no difference.
Do you have any idea what is the problem? I bought the kit, putting it together myself, so it might be even problem in assembly. I took the Z axis apart, but saw nothing obvious. I know I had problems in the assembly with the thin sheet metal flaps activating limit switches, but I think they should work fine now.
Do you have any advice, please?
Hello, Strape. I am newbie, as well. As well I encounted same problem as you. How did you manage to fix this problem?
May be you now know some useful resource for newbie CNC regards?

There are two fix you can try.
1. Start the home sequence and push the lower z limit. If it then moves in x, you must adjust the metal lever on the micro switch, so that it engages earlier.
2. When mounting the z axis, it is possible to squeeze the cables, so you get a grounding problem. Remount the z axis, and look for squeezes cables.
Same problem here for me. but when i home, my x axes tries to go out of the frame.

A problem I had when doing some of this was that the soft-limits were set and it might be that. Its perhaps not the full story but
it might be something to check. Just remove soft limits while you try out.
