My lazer vibrates when docking at the home position.

Not much to go on here. Is this a new problem?
They usually vibrate when they pull off the switch. They will also vibrate if the switch is not tripped, and motor is skipping steps/crashing against sides.

Hi.

Welcome to the LB forum Erik.

Here:

https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/tag/xtool-d1-pro

You can find plenty of threads about the various ways xTool D1 Pro may misbehave when homing, and various remedies that may, or may not work in Your particular situation.

Not everyone uses the tags -correctly anyway- so a more general search like “xTool D1 Pro grinding” may yield more results.

In no particular order, the most common problems tend to be:

-missing/damaged/malfunctioning limit switch
-missing/damaged/malfunctioning limit switch cable
-one or more looms restricting the movement (This particular one plagued mine)
-the firmware and the .lbdev file don’t match
-a damaged controller

Also, AFAIK the .lbdev file has to be for the D1 PRO, the D1 .lbdev file most likely won’t work correctly because homing is handled differently when there’s no limit switches.

Regards,
Sam
