I3 acrylic X and Z wrong way

Post by hugues »

Hi.

Just finished assembly of my acrylic prusa I3.

The Z axis is going the right way (down when pressing home)

But the Y axis and the Z axis are going in the opposite of the endstops.
I tried both repetier and the control panel.
What do I do?
inverts cables?

thanks for your reply

Yes , blue,red,green,black.
Just unplug the cable, roate it for 180°, and plug it.

The sockets are equipped with a "keyed system" (<-Google trad?), so I had to make a small adapateur but that's it, it works!

Thank you! Problem solved.

A problem once, now I'll find out why the extruder does not work manually. :)

The extruder motor can not move unless the temperature of extruder is more than 175 degrees.
