Newb i3 pro C dual extruder - beginners q's

Post by robmason » Fri Apr 07, 2017 5:31 am

So I have just finished my first build

Hardware Q1) The dual extruder set-up has no way of reaching the x-axis stopper? The extruder motors hit the vertical rods beforre the stopper can be reached? What have i done wrong?

x-axis 'home' test goes left to right and 'grinds at far-right. I have updated firmware and switched direction - I assume home should be left as i look at it?

Z-axis only right-hand motor moving.....

Apologies for beginners ignorance - just learning!

Is your extruder bracket on correctly? It has a small tab that sticks out to hit the x axis end switch. It is possible to mount backwards or upsidedown.
