Problem with Z axis
January 30, 2015 09:45AM
Hello everyone

I am trying to build a printer using a printrboard. I have assembled the outerbody of the printer and configured the electronic cables, the motor positions, etc, am using pronterface as the command software . I am able to move the x and y axis .. but the z axis is giving me some problems. there are 2 motors in the z axis and they rotate in the opposite directions when i try to move the z axis. the motors are working fine. and i have double checked on the cable connections.

Would be glad if someone helped me with this.

Thanks in advance
regards
kailesh

You should be able to change the direction of one of the Z-axis steppers by flipping one of the stepper plugs on your board...
