Finally twigged! In Mainsail, when you edit, save and restart the 'printer.cfg' file, the newly modified file is saved with a filename that reflects date, time etc., so that the restart still uses the OLD 'printer.cfg' file. The solution is to use 'save and close', which saves the file as...

Not a silly question at all! Well, after editing the file, I always clicked on 'save and restart', so I've assumed that's the correct thing to do? G.

Thanks for helping an old git. :) I thought I'd done all that the first time that I went through the setup, but maybe I missed something. Anyway, yesterday, I went through all the setup steps again and finally got past the QGL stage. On to the next problem now! Tried to calibrate the...

Thanks for trying to help. The probe appears to be working correctly when I use the 'query_probe' command, so I don't think my problems are caused by what you suggest, though I've been wrong before! As NoGuru suggested, I've been working though that page of the setup that he pointed to and by...

Newby here - hoping for a little help with my 2.4 350 build - having struggled with several build hurdles along the way, I now seem stuck and out of ideas with the Z homing setup - X and Y axes home no problem, but every time I try to home the Z axis, I get this error - Move out of range...
