After upgrading to firmware 1.2 beta: “Z-16 Original” or “Z-20 Heavy Duty”?

Hi there, I recently updated my firmware to the 1.2 beta version - did the full reflash since I was moving from 1.1 and that was the recommendation. The step-by-step and video guides were very precise and Everything went well and seems to be working, except when I was trying to do the recommended “Reset configuration”. after selecting the “Journeyman X-50” (my machine) there was another pop-up window asking me to pick the “Z Slider Type”. Options are “Z-16 Original” or “Z-20 Heavy Duty”, and I don’t know which one is mine… any tips on how to find that out? thanks.

Hey Silvio,

the correct answer would be: Measure the diameter of the chrome-plated hollow shafts on the Z-slider, but as far as I know, the Z-20 was not yet delivered so should be usually Z-16. This selection matters only for the “min-soft-limit” and the “travel-per-rev” and some motion settings of motor 3.

No one has a z-20 z slider yet, so you have the z-16.
