ok here is the basics: sumpod basic printer ramps 1.4 sprinter firmware ponterface the problem is that the z axis only moves down, and the x and y axis do not move at all, they do however make some noise when commanded to move, but only in one direction. I am new to this printer thing but have been in the cnc field for 8 years. any help would be appreciated. thanks, Jeremy https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301089#msg-301089 Sun, 15 Mar 2026 16:52:54 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,303180#msg-303180 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,303180#msg-303180

with m119, check you actually have X on the x axis etc (its really easy to get them on the wrong pins)

Ie trigger just the X endstop. Does X change with a m119
and repeat for all x,y, and z

Next check the location of your endstops. Most printers are setup as minimum endstops
It looks like your printer the nozzle moves in X and Y, and the build platform move for Z so for your printer that should be head front, left and bed up.
You will have to confirm if this is correct (I dont have access to a sumpod)

With minimum endstops check direction of movement. -ve should move towards the endstops
so -ve X move left, +ve X move right, -ve on Y moves the head forward +ve moves the head back. -ve on the Z moves your bed up and +ve moves your bed down.]]> Dust RAMPS Electronics Mon, 27 Jan 2014 01:46:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301444#msg-301444 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301444#msg-301444 jeremytapl RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 16:14:00 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301436#msg-301436 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301436#msg-301436 cat.farmer RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 15:58:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301398#msg-301398 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301398#msg-301398 SENDING:M119
x_min:H y_min:H z_min:H

and when i press the endstops they do change. so is my firmware wrong?

this is how it is set:

const bool X_ENDSTOP_INVERT = true;
const bool Y_ENDSTOP_INVERT = true;
const bool Z_ENDSTOP_INVERT = true;]]> jeremytapl RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 14:38:25 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301324#msg-301324 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301324#msg-301324 jeremytapl RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 11:45:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301292#msg-301292 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301292#msg-301292 cat.farmer RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 10:39:57 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301275#msg-301275 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301275#msg-301275 jeremytapl RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 09:44:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301144#msg-301144 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301144#msg-301144 jtoombs RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:40:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301143#msg-301143 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301143#msg-301143 Cefiar RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:36:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301140#msg-301140 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301140#msg-301140 jeremytapl RAMPS Electronics Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:28:20 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301121#msg-301121 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,301089,301121#msg-301121 v ref on the drivers
