I agree

Don't attempt to print yet, you've gotta get the thing moving right under manual control first.

Don't worry about doing anything from the LCD
Or any of the settings in Repetier or Slic3r

Don't worry about your X Axis, it's working fine
Take it one Axis at a time

Y is the one that we see in the video with a problem

Simple fix, all you gotta do is take our advise and make one of the changes. Not check, but actually make the change

#define INVERT_Y_DIR
Set to the opposite value from what you currently have

OR

Flip the motor connector around

That will get your X and Y homing correctly
The process will be the same for your Z

I got the Y axis working fine. I just need to invert the Z which is going opposite of where the endstop is.

Now there is another problem. Everything is fine, the direction of the axis moving ,etc. Now whenever I try to print something just to test it out the x,y, and z axis all go back to the endstop. Once the extruder is hot, the z axis goes to the top, kind of like in the middle of the printer and start to print from there. It is suppose to print down where the heatbed is but it just goes up. Also, it is not printing in the middle of the heatbead. It's printing in the corner of the hot plate, the x axis starts from there instead of the middle.

Make sure your bed shape is correct in Slic3r. Should be.

X= 203 (based off your configuration.h)
Y= 190 (again off your configuration.h)

Your origin is wrong, it should be. I may have these wrong, you might have to make them negative.
X= 203
Y= 190

Also check the bed shape in Repetier
Home directions for X and Y should be to Max
Z should be to Min

Bed Left= -203
Bed Front= -190

Also post one of your guide files, we can look at them and see what it's doing.

I am going to try that. I will tell you if it works.

Not working. The Y keeps going back to the top instead of staying .1mm close to the heatbed to extrude the filament. Also, what guide are you talking about.

Oops, meant gcode files.

I think a short video will explain what's happening better than me writing it. It's just confusing.

What would help also is if you'd save and attach a gocde file to this thread.

In Repetier go to Preview Tab, then Gcode Editor Tab below it.
Hit the floppy disk icon and save the file.
Attach it to a post here.

It'll tell us what the printer's being instructed to do.

]Here is the file. Now suddenly without me changing anything the Y axis is going the opposite from where the endstop is. It was working fine the past few days.

Here is the G-Code file.

Nothing out of the normal there from what I see other than layer height too large.
You dont want .4mm layers with a .4mm nozzle.
.3mm is the max layers I print with my .4mm nozzle

So, why is the Y axis going all the way to the top whenever it starts to print. It won't stay close to the heatbed.

You mean the Z axis? The Y axis goes front to back.
Can you take a video? What your saying makes no sense.

; perimeters extrusion width = 0.42mm
; infill extrusion width = 0.42mm
; solid infill extrusion width = 0.42mm
; top infill extrusion width = 0.42mm

M107
M190 S55 ; set bed temperature
M104 S200 ; set temperature
G28 ; home all axes
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle this line is telling Z to goto Z5 (is z5 at the top ?? )


allso seems strange that all the x y movements are negative moves (-x -y)

Do a Home XY and Home Z

Then send M114 through Repetier
It should report where it thinks the printer is at
Post that if you would.

Yeah, sorry I meant Z axis. That is exactly what I said, a video will show you and explain you what's happening better than what I can explain.

What do you mean with Z5? Do I have to send that code and see if something says Z5?

No. Your gcode tells the printer to go to 5mm from 0 at the start of the print.
You need to send
G28 X Y
G28 Z
Then type M114 and post the results.
This will tell us where the printer thinks its at after homing.
