Basic Information: Printer Model: T350 MCU / Printerboard: BTT Kraken 1.1 Host / SBC banana pi klippy.log Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base…

you could use SET_KINEMATIC_POSITION CLEAR_HOMED=… to unhome the disabled axis

If you had attached a klippy.log we could look and see what is disabling your motors. ATM we can only speculate. Check your slicer end gcode.

Usually this is either set in the Slicer end gcode script settings or the END_PRINT macro in Klipper - hence the need of the klippy.log as @cardoc explained.

I’m sorry I was sure this would be a klipper - builtin thing so I didn’t attach the log. Here it is. Thx in advance! klippy(11).log (1.7 MB) edit: END_PRINT: \[gcode_macro END_PRINT\] gcode: G91 ;releative positioning G1 E-1 F2700 ;Retract a bit G1 E-1 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z…

AFAIK, Klipper does not take parameters on M84 or M18, so it always turns off all motors when that command is issued. You may use set_stepper_enable instead e.g. SET_STEPPER_ENABLE STEPPER=stepper_x ENABLE=0 [image] stahlsau: I already added the last line to enable Z again but no go. Once…

well i don’t know. Now I cycled the logs, restarted, and started (and ended) a new print. klippy(12).log (659.9 KB)

Maybe the Kalico guys did something. You may ask them.

SET_STEPPER_ENABLE STEPPER=stepper_x ENABLE=0 that for X and Y instead of M84 could be the solution, didn’t recognize that yesterday. I’ll try it.

well that did it. I somehow didn’t notice the M84 (or what it does), thinking the “steppers-off” was somehow hardcoded or something. Wrong, ofc. Solution for me: I’ve added the following to my END_PRINT: # M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z SET_STEPPER_ENABLE STEPPER=stepper_x ENABLE=0 …

Beware that if you use SET_STEPPER_ENABLE to disable a motor, klipper does NOT remove that motor from the list of homed axes. It will still allow moves on that axis and act as if the position for that motor is known. If your machine is a coreXY, disabling one of x or y allows movement on both axes…

thanks for the heads-up! Guess I’ll remove the STEPPER_ENABLE too then. Won’t matter much if they stay powered for half an hour longer…

that’s even better. Thanks!
