Home is not good

Hello everyone,

So I have a problem with my Prusa I3. It homes well but the home position is not on the bed.

I'll include a picture.
In blue is the print bed.
The black dot is the actual home position.
The red dot is where I want the home position to be (because it's supposed to be there, right?).

Should I change something in the firmware or should I move the endstops?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You need to move your endstops to modify your home position.

There's no way to move them, they just go in that position and there are no adjustments...

In firmware change your home location

eg in marlin
// Travel limits after homing (units are in mm)
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MIN_POS 0

Measure the distance from where it stops to where you want 0,0 to be

set X_MIN_POS to - measured x distance
set Y_MIN_POS to - measured y distance

So it will still home to the same location, but it knows where it is (-x{somevalue},-y{somevalue)), but when you print everything will be positioned from your 0,0, location

Can you upload a picture of your endstops, so I can see what they look like and how/where they are positioned?
You should be able to physically move the frame back or forward in relation to the chassis therefore changing where the y position is.
The x endstop should be able to move along the smooth rod
