Prusa i3 problems

Hello everyone,

Couple a weeks ago i started building myself a Prusa i3, i've bought the electronics parts (ramps 1.4 and arduino) from China (banggood) and all the mechanical parts from a local shop.
i've asembled the printer and now i'm facing some problems, or to be more precise one problem which is frustrating
with all of the steppers connected to the ramps board if i want to move the x axis, the y moves together, vibrating and making noises, and same if i want to move the y axis.
if i disconnect the x axis stepper and give it command from repetiter host it moves the y axis
i've checked for shorts and cold soldering on both the boards and found none.
i'm a noob at programming and at 3d printing, this beying my first 3d printer.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

I think you have set it up as a corexy printer in the configuration.

In the Configuration.h file in Marlin.pde, find the line "#define COREXY" and see if it's uncommented (whether it has // or not). If it's missing the //, it means you have corexy enabled, which moves both sets of motors. Put the // back if that's the case, save and reupload the program to the printer.

"#define COREXY" is commented, i have "#define COREXZ" enabeled should i leave it this way ?

You have to disable this.

#define is a definition of macros for the compiler, its is enabled

//#define is the same directive but commented out.

you need you insert // at the start #define COREXY to disable it.
