Now for me it works well.
Give it a try.
If I Hit now Focus it drives the bed up to the switch and then lowers a little bit and touches the switch again. And Set the Focus without driving All the way down. I think I have seen the same behavior in one of russ Videos about autofocus.

Dang, that was it! Disabled auto focus in focusing menu and now it behaves correctly, pretty counter intuitive lol Thanks again!

There is an argument for Ruida to take on board a fluent English/Chinese speaking Practical Engineer or technical writer immediately Like the 'is blowing' and generally badly translated manuals and data doesn't make it easy.

I wasn't going to fit a probe to mine at least initially to keep the weight down on the head but I have an idea to avoid it. Fit the probe to the gantry on the backside away from the head about 100mm in from the home position and have some adjustment along the rail +- maybe 100mm to play with later. Tempted to try one of the BLtouch clones from 3D printing too so I will just run the wires to suit in the build.

Well done on getting it sorted and letting other know
