AdeV:
Does the machine have limit switches? If so, is one of those playing up?

The machine has the switches from a previous life, but I don't think they're actually connected . I will check Thanks

Any that might getin via a bug or otherwise?  Come to think of it, would the main printing process know if the 12v rail just disappeared?   

May be I'll disconnect the PS_on signal (hard wire it on) and tey again.

LinuxCNC gcode is pretty simple, so looking for any kind of a stop or pause code can be done with a search for "M".  If any "M"s are found, check the docs to see what it does.

BillTodd:
Thanks guys,

Decided I'd spend the afternoon extending the Z range (as I need the extra height to print my engine parts)

Got a little greedy, made the extenders too long and the nozzle wouldn't reach the bed  :Doh:

Fortunately, the weather here is silly warm for the middle of November  , so was able to fix it after dark - in a T shirt in my unheated shed!.
