    Hi all,

    I’m using a Blackbox and am trying to surface my spoiler board with the Openbuilds software. When I start the job the Z-axis retracts in the wrong direction so it’s digging it’s way into my spoilerboard.

    How can I fix this?

    Best regards,

    Ferdy

    1) Does it jog correctly - if not fix your Direction settings in Grbl Settings > $3 Direction Invert first
    2) or Did you remember to ZERO the Work coordinates to establish work zero?

    Thanks Peter for your super quick reponse. It was option 1. It also jogged opposite on the Z-axis.
