XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis  

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

Did you apply the Bear firmware changes?

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

No, according to the website, there is no firmware upgrade.  Am I missing something?

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

Bah - I am remembering Firmware change comments from the forum. Not in enough detail to be useful though.

Until our Bear resource shows up, check this discussion on Github. It may add some insights.

Let me also point you to the Bear Discord channel. I have found some very helpful folks there:

Thanks.  Really weird.  The Pinda works.  When it goes down to the bed, it goes to the left of the calibration point, but when it auto homes, it goes right to the point.

What prusa version are you using ? MK3 MK3S? you need to use the Prusa extruder parts specific to your version

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

IIRC the Bear extruder is a full height extruder. Greg intentionally keeps the Bear full height rather than going short body like an MK3S or my BNBSX. You should be on MK3 firmware for the Z travel to match the original Bear extruder.

I have not kept up with the Bear of late. If there is a new MK3S variant of the Bear, you will need to adjust MK3S firmware to accommodate the taller Bear extruder.

The firmware difference I referenced was only for self-test and calibration. Then you go back to stock.

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

I got it to work.  Numnutz me forgot to install the Bondtech firmware.  

RE: XYZ Fails error: Endstop Not Hit Z Axis

Woot! My flaky memory is justified!

Delighted you got it working. I am headed down that same road...
