Z-axis issue on Ruida controller

Ruida will initialize Z upon powering on / homing to 3000mm. Auto focus will set Z to 0mm. You cannot move Z up (inward) from 0 (not through LightBurn or from your Ruida HMI). You can move Z down (outward) from 0. None of this will affect LightBurn’s functionality for Z on your controller. If you intend to raise Z after you have set the focus with auto focus, then you will need to reset the controller and allow X and Y to re-home and Z to be reset to Ruida’s arbitrary 3000mm (and your Z wil…

And after you have enabled Z movement, you may need to calibrate the Z Steps for accuracy / reconciliation to the specified offset on the layer:

Configure / Calibrate Z Movement

Maybe my mind is in a fog this evening. I thought I would go ahead and take advantage of Z movements with the new 0.9.10 release. They seem to work well. My problem is my own problem. That is, I need to configure steps per mm / inch somewhere for Z (when I specify move 1", the bed only moves about 1/8"), but I don’t know where the setting is. The machine configuration, I have searched. Ruida RDC6445G(EC) [image]
