Somehow I managed to break the z axis end-stop sensor. I was printing this morning, and the print failed. I hit the button to disconnect, and reconnected to the printer then hit the z home button so I could remove the failed print. The z axis did NOT stop at 0, it kept going and broke a little black piece off of the z end-stop sensor.
If someone can tell me where we got the sensor from I can go and get or order us another one as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
