Firstly many thanks for excellent firmware and repetier-host. Keep up the good work.

I have noticed that the Z- axis steppers are enabled during entire print (motor hot and locked, current on). I have the following in the configuration file:

// Disables axis when it's not being used.
#define DISABLE_X false
#define DISABLE_Y false
#define DISABLE_Z true
#define DISABLE_E false

I'm running a sanguinolou v 1.3a and using pololu A 4988 stepper drivers.

The Z axis motors are disabled before print commences and after its complete, so it appears that the hardware is allowing disable/enable, just that it isn;t working while printing?

Any suggestions?

regards

Wayne
