I've tried inverting the MAX end stop to a MIN, inverting Z axis direction, and changing the MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS but nothing works.
The bed will never raise to the hot end until I start a print. Mesh bed leveling isn't CRITICAL as I could always just calibrate by hand before printing but I'd rather use Marlin.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Here's my config file.
Delta's do this. They home towards Max. That causes all kinds of issues. On a printer like yours, it certainly should be possible to home towards MIN. (That is what I would do.) But Marlin works just fine Homing in either direction on any axis. Please read all of the comments in the Configuration.h file and go through everything once again. If you can't find a simple change that makes it work, ask again here and at GitHub/MarlinFirmware. This isn't a problem that should stop your progress!!!
