you can really set your printer any way you want but you need to be able to set it that way in your slicer or you will end up with mirror prints

Sorry i'm lefty and gave you the wrong directions.....spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

X will be MAX
Y will be MIN
Z will be MIN

if you see your nozzle as a point in the plane once home's it will be located at the bottom right of the plane

*** I already corrected the directions in the previous post***

Ok, did you set your endstops as in the previous post with X at Max, Y at Min and Z at Min?

If so now you need to set the stepper direction so they understand where they are moving.

The reason that the steppers don't want to move is because your printer think it's trying to move past the endstops.

When you home X do the stepper moves towards the endstop?

Reading your configuration file, this might be the problem:

//// Endstop Settings
//#define ENDSTOPPULLUPS // Comment this out (using // at the start of the line) to disable the endstop pullup resistors
//The pullups are needed if you directly connect a mechanical endswitch between the signal and ground pins.
//If your axes are only moving in one direction, make sure the endstops are connected properly.
//If your axes move in one direction ONLY when the endstops are triggered, set [XYZ]_ENDSTOP_INVERT to true here:
const bool X_ENDSTOP_INVERT = false;
const bool Y_ENDSTOP_INVERT = false;
const bool Z_ENDSTOP_INVERT = false;
