Y axis inverted ?

Y axis inverted ?
March 29, 2015 05:02PM
Just print my first part this morning and my Y axis is inverted ;
if you look on picture 1 x=190 y=0 z=0 where y should be 190
if you look on picture 2 x=190 y=190 z=0 where y should be 0

i'm using Marlin and here is my config h mechanical settings

is somebody can help me please ?

From your pic, shouldnt the y-axis end stop switch be at the back of your printer not the front?
If so move it to the back then invert your y-axis. Either through the motor wiring or the firmware.

Gordon is correct. The correct position for your Y-endstop is at the back.

X-endstop at the left.

Z-endstop on the bottom.

Good luck! smiling smiley

Look at the attach picture from wiki Prusa I3 rework, x-endstop on the right, y-endstop on the front. I'm gonna try again tonight or tomorrow and let you know

If you have the Y endstop at the front then it's a MAX endstop, your firmware is set for a MIN endstop

I got it ! I invert the y motor, change homing direction and connect the y endstop to the other connection on the ramp 1.4. I think there is 2 connections per axis on the ramp.
I'm gonna try a print now

On the ramps board there are connections for xyz min and max endstops.
But you still need to set it in firmware.
