Make sure you are reading the correct build instructions for the printer you have. There are two models, the Ormerod1 and the Ormerod2. The Y beds are opposite, so I suspect you may be building from the wrong instructions!

Ormerod 2 instructions: [reprappro.com]
The Ormerod 1 instructions come up first if you google 'ormerod build instructions'.

Might be an idea to add a big warning right at the top of the two instructions, Ian? I did a similar thing in reverse when looking up something a while ago, but am familiar enough with the printer that I realised the mistake immediately.
