So I got my first printer, and decided on the Folgertech prusa i3 aluminum frame. I had issues getting the x axis to move and home correctly. I got help on this forum for that, so thanks all who helped.
I thought all was well until I printed a part that was not symmetricle, and realized that it printed inverted about the x axis.
To me the problem is obvious. The printer homes at front right (the x end stop is on the right hand side). Repetier host assumes the machine homes at front left.
If I move the end stop to the left side, then it prints perfect. I contacted Folgertech and they seem surprised by this.
The other option is to change repetier host so it knows to home at front right. I have played around with all the printer shape settings, and no matter what I try, it still puts home at front left.
So basically I have three questions:
1) has any one else experienced this? (If not, then why just me?)
2) is it possible to change repetier host home position?
3) if anyone has had this problem, how did you fix it?
Thanks for any help,
Scott

I have this problem to, but I just import my models into rep-host and then use the mirror feature. Though, I should probably fix that before I one day start a larger print, and then realized half way through that I forgot to mirror it
