X axis seems to ignore its endstop when printing.
March 06, 2013 11:10AM
I'm using RAMPS 1.4 with ultimachine's sprinter firmware for mechanical endstops and when I attempt to print with pronterface, my X axis goes home to its endstop, touches it, moves a few milimeters away, then back towards the endstop and keeps going. I can hear the motor straining when it does this so I usually switch off the power within a few seconds.

My endstops work perfectly when I manually move any axis in pronterface, does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Any help is appreciated!

Never mind, solved it myself.

I had to change the HOME_DIR variables under endstop settings in configuration.h from -1 to 1.
