I am also having Z homing issues with the 12" that I put together 1-2 weeks ago. I have swapped the Z axis home switch around with one of the others and have everything mounted with screws. It is very frustrating to have to fight with the printer for 20 min to get the Z home position fixed every time I want to print something. I have been very close to throwing the damn thing in the trash because of it. I also have the Rumba board so I am not sure if there is an issue with the Rumba or something else but I would like to get it figured out so I can actually enjoy using the printer instead of fighting with it.
I am beginning to think the issue is with the type of switches sent with the kit. For some reason he included micro switches with roller ends on them instead of standard lever ends. If you are homing off of a flat surface the roller switch would be fine IMO but on the Z axis you are using the tiny bolt as the homing surface so I think there are some inconsistencies related to that because depending on what part of the roller radius the bolt hits on it changes the home position. I have some standard micro switches on order to swap out the roller switch with. I hope that fixes the issue because at this point in time I don't really want to even use the printer because of it.
Printer will print perfect...
