All of a sudden my Z-Axis won’t home. I’m printing from the SD card, when it goes to home the Z-Axis it makes a buzzing sound and it won’t drive down. I manually drove the z-Axis to it’s home position and I can MOVE AXIS in 1mm steps up and down without any problem, but when I try to home the Z-Axis it buzzes and doesn’t move down. I replaced the two Z-Axis steppers and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
