    New build problem! Z direction is inverted!

    I'm sure it's an easy fix but I can't seem to find the setting. Basically my router is positive when I jog it down towards my part and negative as I go up in the Z direction. My hotkeys are also reversed, page up key sends my z down and vice-versa.

    Go to Config > Homing/Limits, and check the Reverse box for the Z axis.
