Has anyone had issues with the X-axis arm when printing is done? Whenever a print completes the X-axis goes to “0” and the Z-axis goes about halfway, then the Y-axis goes to “125” then “0” and hitting the X-axis arm along the way. It has knocked off most of my larger prints and has gone as bend the arm itself. I am using snapmakerjs too, no other splicers.
Hi Pineduhh,
yes, I guess the same happened to me.
Sven
Post your gcode which is knocked off here.
I think this is a Slicer issue.
@parachvte
It’s probably something wrong with your “End G-code”, the Z goes down to make X hit with the print.
BTW, did the Z axis drop down after the X and Z moves?
Hi Xchrisd,
I cannot upload my complete gcode file.
It says: “Sorry, that file is too big (maximum size is 4096kb).” (its 28 MB because it is a big model).
Should I then only upload the last 4kB of it?
Or you can just use the thingieverse STL of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:919475 - I sliced the “FilleniumMalcon-FrontHalf_Pegged.obj” in “normal quality” in snapmakerjs.
Greetings,
Sven
(PS: My original post is here Reset run killed my print at the end)
Hey @sven please upload it to a oneclickhoster, to your google-drive or dropbox.
Or even the last 100lines of the code would do the same 
yes kind of, the end of print calibration situation!
hey xchrisd, these are the roughly last 100 lines of my gcode:

Your gcode is clear, no problem so far.
From the video, it seems it´s gonna homing after falling down.
May you try drive to Z100 instead of Z125 at your endgcode, maybe it drops there not.
You could also delete your doubled gcodes, maybe there is the issue…

No idea…
thanks for reviewing and checking!
It knocks the model over in the end when homing the bed backwards.
Then the x-axxis is too low.
I would love to stop the “bed homing” in the end completly - is that also possible?
BED OFF seems to stop only heating not moving.
And is there a way to simulate this bevahior in advance, because it takes around 14h to print that part…
Thanks,
Sven
Hey, this is your endgcode:

9:M84 ;steppers off
10:;End GCode end
11:M82 ;absolute extrusion mode
12:M104 S0
13;End of Gcode
For you to understand if you did not yet:
line 6: G1 Z125 E-1 F{speed_travel} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more Z UP to maximum
line 7: G1 X0 F3000 ;move X to min endstops, so the head is out of the way Moves your head to the left
line 8: G1 Y125 F3000 ;so the head is out of the way and Plate is moved forward Bed comes to u
There should be no homing of the Y axes.
The Z Axis has this problem (falling down if the steppers are OFF) the whole time and they didn´t fixed it.- OK. But, i think and the video shows me, after Z-Axis falling down is kind a restart of the print or a similar issue.
At my Snapmaker Original is the park position at Z120mm and it goes down every 15 prints 1 time.
Now you could choose:
- disargument line 9 by putting a semicolon before M84 like this ;M84 ;steppers off
then are steppers active, the whole night and day till shutting down the machine by the switch or starting a new job.- There is no danger i think, if you print 40hours there is much more pressure on. - Try a other parking position, move X home, let Y and Z where it is, then could nothing happen, i think.
You should try a easy print for testing…
Do you have additional printer setup like octoprint?
Do you print from USB-flashdrive or PC.
Which program from PC (Win or MAC)?
Hi Pineduhh,
Here I attach a file. Please try to run the gcode file.
When you run it, please check whether the Z goes to the half way. If it does, please swap the X and Z axis to try again.
After exchanging them, if it works well, the issue is related to the Z-axis.
If the issue still exists after exchanging, we need to further analyze the issue.TT.gcode (557 Bytes)

I wonder if there isn’t a different problem and it isn’t related to snapmakerjs but instead happens to be related to the firmware instead.
I noticed a couple of days ago that I can print items taller than 125 by configuring into snapmakerjs that I have the extended (taller) Z axis assembly.
However if I use the control on the LCD screen and try to jog up above 125mm, it won’t. The firmware appears to not understand that the taller mechanism is installed.
The knocking over of the printed item may be a symptom of the firmware.
Can you use the hand held LCD control and jog above 125mm?

Anyone found a workaround?
I tried changing the gcode end, but the printer still goes down Z and move the plate knocking the model.
Even with
M84
commented or with
G1 X0 F3000 ;move X to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
G1 Y125 F3000 ;so the head is out of the way and Plate is moved forward
removed.
Try to swap two axis or print a mechanical work around which has to be released before the next print.
Got a not very elegant workaround to make the snapmaker original stop after the print.
I add to the end of the G-code
G1 Z115 ;Get the arm down a little so it’ll not force the motor when re-starting
M140 S5 ;Set Bed Temperature
M190 ;Wait for Bed Temperature
Since the temperature in my workroom is way above 5°C it’ll never reach that. This way the gcode never really ends.
I have to turn it off after removing the model because it gets stuck in this piece of code and the touchscreen goes “processing”.

Not sure if I’m “necroing” this thread, but it looks like this issue was never even resolved, which is quite frankly mind boggling. This is such a blatant issue to the point where it makes printing any prints that are even mildly tall not worth it. You literally have to be at the printer exactly when it finishes to scramble at getting the print off of the bed before the printer destroys it with its nonsensical homing sequence.
How does this still exist? How is this not a majorly discussed issue? Is there a fix yet? Will there ever be a fix?
I’m afraid i am not going to be helpful at this point as i dont have that machine
however,
i believe luban supports the snapmaker original, perhaps the ending gcode for that machine is better to maneuver?
the solution about your question there is actually pretty elegent imo, thinking outside the box
if its any consolation, the snapmaker 2 is riddled with nonsense too.
