Hello from Bristol

[nannyogg82]

Hello everyone, I first got into 3D printing during the first lockdown when I bought a Tenlog TL-D3 Pro IDEX printer and have been looking for a Core-XY for a while now. I bought a Voron 2.4r2 350mm from a kit a few months ago and have finally finished building it. But now can't get it to print. 

Once that issues is sorted though I'm sure I'll have many happy hours of printing ahead.

Welcome to the forum! You will find plenty of help here in getting your printer running, so ask away.

Welcome aboard, @claudermilk is utterly spot on - lots of knowledgeable and supportive people with plenty of help to go around. There's a whole world of mods to try out on your new baby as well

Thank you both. Right now I'm a bit flummoxed. Every time I try to print the print head essentially lowers itself over the Z endstop and tries to print there. Happens with two different slicers.

Yes, I'd noticed your question and was scratching my head. I should really ask over in the quesiton (to keep it all together ) but it would be helpful to understand which controller board you're using (e.g. spider, octopus, etc) and whether you're using the stock (voron) printer.cfg (or really what is your printer.cfg). Does the QGL (gantry levelling) and other functions work as expected or ar they out of whack/alignment as well?

I'll post the reply in the other thread.

May also be some of the gcode in your start_print / print_start macros of any other macro that is called to initiate the print.
