Hello,
Yesterday I built my first 3D printer, the DP5. I was very excited to put it together and try everyting out but when I got to the part where I had to use the auto home function things didn't seem to go right.
As I said, this is my first 3D printer so I don't know much about it.
When I use the auto home function the sensor moves to the front left corner of the bed. Then it goes up and down ones or twice, and then it just stays there. It never checks all the corners. I also tried printing but then the nozzle moves down a little more and it gets to close toe the bed. I don't know what I am doing wrong, or where to change the right settings.
I hope you can help me.

That is the auto home function. If you add g29 to your start g code it will prove the bed before printing

Any progress on this problem?

Yes! That was indeed the problem. After that there wouldn't come any PLA out of the nozzle, but I managed to get it going. I'm very happy, I printed my first object today! Thank you!
