Hi

just finished building and installing the firmware and software so I guess I'm trying to setup the Prusa.

the first thing I've noticed is that +X goes towards the micro switch

where as +Z and +Y go away from their micro switches.

I'm guessing the X axis is wronb, but what is the easiest way to reverse it's direction?

Using Marlin and printer interface on windows XP

Easiest way to correct it is via the firmware... Look for these lines in the configuration.h file

#define INVERT_X_DIR true // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR false // for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true // for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true

Whatever INVERT_X_DIR is saying flip it (ie true to false or vice versa)
