When clicking on Z Home my print bed goes down instead of up to the Z endstop. Is this a setting in the Azteeg X5 Mini config?

Yes you put an ! After the stepper direction pin for that axis to reverse it. Same goes for any others that go in the wrong direction.

@Eclsnowman Just out of curiosity, would’t that be in the config file already? The stepper motor will only hook up one way with jumper that it comes with?

I got Z home working :slight_smile: Thank you!!! Now I need to work on X and Y.

You need to configure the file for your hardware. Mine had screw terminals. So I just flipped 2 wires to reverse it. I would spend some time learning the config file if I were you. It is easy enough, and it will open your opportunity for tuning properly.
