strange problems with my smartrap. mirrored?

Hi all
i have some strange problems with my smartrap build and would like to ask for some help of you guys.
I already owned a few printers like printrbot Jr and the original printrbot. On these machines the x axis is going from left to right and y from front to back.
On the smartrap is is completely different and the axes seemed to be changed by serge. Or do I miss understand something?
So my axes act like the printrbots y front to back and x left to right.

My home location right now is (if you sit in front of the machine) back left.
this seem OK to me.
If I print a part i found out that the parts seem to be mirrored.
Here some examples where you can see how the parts should be and how they come out of the printer.



Hope I can get some help to solve the issue

Switch the XY motors.
In smartrap, Y is left to right and X is back to front.
There are ways to switch them around but it's not worth the trouble: just use the axes as intended by the designer smiling smiley

sorry for that smiling smiley

I'ts historycal reason . The smartrap was suposed to be used at 90 degres from how it is used now.. so the X and Y inverted.

Hi

Thanks for all the answers.
Serge don't worry it was my fault.
Yesterday I changed the axes and now it is working like charm.

Thanks for all the help
