    I have no idea about the threaded rod as I didn’t build machine. How would I find out or what do I need to know, tpi, angle….etc.?

    The most popular I have seen are M6x1.25 threaded rod ($tr=1.25mm/rev) and ACME upgrades at $tr=2.117 mm/rev

    I guess you have the M6x1.25 threaded rod.

    Ok I upgraded to 440.17. I was trying to set homing, X is doing fine Y is doing fine, but now the z axis goes all the way down to home instead of up to top position. What could possibly cause this? I tried to set the z homing exactly like I did the x and y axis. Attached are the new parameters. Do you see any changes that need to be made?

    Set:

    $xsn=0
    $xsm=1
    $ztn=-75
    $ztm=0

    Z axis homes (zeros) at top of travel

    Can you load gcode files from a thumb drive into chilipepper?

    CP only supports Drag and Drop onto the Gcode widget.
    So it may depend on you OS, as I have experienced inability to drag and drop from some non-native (e.g. networked resources) on my system (Linux).

    As a work around, you may need to copy Gcode from Thumbdrive to a temp folder on you HDD, then drag in from there.
