Z axis wont home

[dougcorsaro]

I’ve owned the icon 8 for about 2.5 yrs. Was having problems with the y axis struggling to home. Talked to Austin for a solution and when I went to try it out now my z axis is grinding and won’t home. Hate when the machine goes down over weekend with a bunch of projects to carve. Any help is appreciated. Mind you I’m not very tech savvy

Usually it's either the magnetic limits is dirty or bumped out of position or the screw drive collar got loose. I'd start there.

Actually it was a small screw behind the switch that fell out. All good today. It’s the small things tht drive ya nuts.
