When I home the machine it only moves down a little bit

If you try and home your machine, and you find it only moves the 3 towers down, that is because somehow the machine lost it's Z height.  It's most likely caused by accidentally clicking on the "Set Z=0 in the advanced configuration screen on your Orion.  You'll need to connect your printer to a computer using the USB connection to reset the machine's Z max height, then we can re-calibrate the actual Z Height.

    Here is what worked for me. Using the z-position control, I drove the head to near the bed. I then reset the z position to zero. Then I was able to Home All.
