### Basic Information:

Printer Model: Sidewinder X1  
 MCU / Printerboard: Original  
 `klippy.log`

_Fill out above information and in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file. Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_

### Describe your issue:

Hello forum,  
I have converted my Sidewinder X1 to clipper. Everything works so far. However, I have the problem that the printer calibrates only the Z axis on a G28. X and Y do not move. However, if I test a G28 x y, both axes move to their home position. Does anyone know where the error can be? Klipper runs on a Raspi 4.

The override is tricky to understand:

- `homing_override` needs to still home all axex
- The limitation `axes = z` means: Do the `gcode` stuff only when homing Z

What you probably want:

```auto
[homing_override]
set_position_z = 0
gcode = 
    G28 X Y
    G91
    G1 Z0.1 F10
    G1 Z5 F900
    G90
    G28 Z

```

Why do you need this anyway?

Hi Sineos,  
perfect that’s it. I took the printerconfig from the INET - I didn’t see this entry. No idea why that was in there.
