Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro homing issue?

When I power the machine on, it tries to home but bottoms out in the lower left and keeps banging like it’s trying to go past the limit switches. Been using the machine for a while. Leaned the laser eye today so I had to pick the front up to see it. Worked fine before.
Waiting for connection…

That means the laser head / gantry aren’t activating the home switches, which the Alarm 9 error confirms.

Look carefully to find loose switches, tangled cables, bent sheet metal, or anything else that’s getting in the way. With the power off, move the head / gantry slowly toward the switches while feeling for any resistance, then fix whatever you find.

Red wire had pulled off… figured it had to do something with the machine itself. Thanks!

That’s a new one … :grin:
