    Yes, it is on the diagonal position opposite to HOME, I use 3 point grid N3V

    It would be helpful to do a G28, a G29 and then a M114 to see where the printer thinks it is at. Then do a G28 and another M114 and see where it thinks it is at. That will give us some hints about what is going on.

    G28, G29, M114 result is X190 Y175 Z1.65, when I hit G28 now, it goes straight into the wall. So I did a home X only, the x carriage moves approx 10mm away from the previous position (roughly 200 actual pos.) but the M114 reports X0



    That would make sense. You told it to go there. Not to home there. The homing code is special. It just starts heading there waiting for a limit switch to get pressed. Then it backs off and goes back towards the switch at a slower speed. But you are not giving it a home command. And my guess is if you look, the limit switches are pressed when you go to G1 X0 Y0

    You are right.

    This is new information. What happens if you turn Z_SAFE_HOMING off? I don't know what code path it would follow (because I've never had an issue like this), but I can believe that the Z Probe firing could impact the X and Y homing.
    True, but I cannot home without Z_Safe, the probe would be outside the bed. I did it anyway and and did a G29. Same result, it is in the right position 190,175,1.65, but when hitting home x it moves right or away from the last position.

    Oh! I started with my origin in the front left. That is where most people have it. But because the only place I could put a Z-Probe was on the front left, it was probing in negative space. What I did was move my origin to the back right. You do this by just changing this:

    #define INVERT_X_DIR true //false // for prusa i3 set to false, x endstop should be on the left
    #define INVERT_Y_DIR true //false // for prusa i3 set to false, y endstop should be in the back and opposite the y-motor
    #define INVERT_Z_DIR false // for prusa i3 set to false, z endstop should be at the bottom

    Okay, I did this on another machine too, but this has nothing to do with my problem or am I missing something? One thing that is really puzzling is that the same fw worked before flawlessly. I thought it was the board, swap it. Wiring...very unlikely. Eeprom reset.

    I did this. No avail. I forgot to mention that where ever on the bed the stop switch is triggered, the x and y think they are home. So if I do a G29 then lift and do a G28, it will home fine, but if I hit G28 again, it will move from that x and y position. It's got to be something I am missing.
    But again, it's the same fw that worked fine for month. Until I hit that z offset on the LCD.
