i have a machine thats never really been used. just getting round to playing with it.

First job... lets try and probe with it.

Mach3, 3 axis router. 8020 frame.
using the digitizing wizard in Mach3, set it up to generate a point cloud.
set it off. 7+mm of clearance before its close to the limit switch at max travel height, and it started fine.
several hours later, the machine stopped. its bumped its limit switch.
4000 odd surface points collected and its fine. now its hitting its home switch.

its doesnt look like its storing the values now.

what would cause the Z axis to change its position, after so many hours?

what should i be looking at.
