Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

That's funny, after all my ideas of making something to fix my sliding rod, all I did was glue the ends as well. Hopefully you can fix your heat bed. I should be ready to try a print tonight.

Cool, thanks. I think I have it ok now. I just have to redo the bed level and I should be ready to try a print. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again,

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

So I just changed the home position to 0 in the printer shape page of repetier. Now when I slice it I'm getting x coordinates between 0 and 200. I haven't tried a print yet, and it all appears to be correct, but it I can't shake the feeling that something is backward. It still seems like the x end stop should be on the left side. Apperantly yours is working. So mine should too when I figure out

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

Did you end up changing the configuration.h and moving the x end stop connector over one spot? Repetier thinks that when it is home, that it's at the far left. This doesn't make since, because under the printer shape page, I specified that left is 200, and home is 0 (which would be the right side). However, at the bottom of that page, it states that home is left front. But the printer puts it at

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

Just one more thing. I'm not positive about this, but if I'm seeing what I think it is, it may be a big issue for me. I loaded a simple 25mm test cube into repetier, and sliced it with slic3r. When I looked at the G-code, it looks like it's giving X coordinates between 200 and 300. I expected it to be between 0 and 200. Am I missing something?

Oh and by the way, I didn't mean to sound negative about folgertech. The are a great company and I am glad I bought from them.

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

Thanks for the info. I got it built ok. I did have to go to the hardware store as well, but for longer bolts that hold the y axis rod holders to the frame. I did a lot of reading before I bought it, so I was expecting a few build issues. I also remade the spool holder to mount the spool on the top instead of the side. At the moment I need to fix the lower carriage rod. It moves left and right abo

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

That fixed it! Thanks! When I made that change, it moved all the way to home. To get the manual move to work, I had to set Home X to Min; X min to 0; X max to 200, and Bed Left to 200. I also had to have the X motor plug on the board with the red wire to the right. Which is the opposite of the build manual. It makes me wonder how they (Folgertech) got there machine to work. Oh well, it works now.

Re: X-Axis not homing - 9 years ago

Hello, I'm new to 3d printing and forums, so sorry for the long question. but I really need help here. So thanks in advance for reading through all of this. I just built this same printer and am having the same problems. I found this by searching for a solution. I think my problem is not the wire though. What I did was to plug the y motor cable into the x motor driver, and now the y motor just mo
