I mount the kit but the x axis is inverted the original prusa kit had two bearing on top... i need to hack the firmware????
Hi Help - I have exactly the same thing on my Hephestos i3. I've mounted the kit and the only motor I've changed is the one on the extruder - yet my X-Axis has also reversed !! Anyone ?
Thinking about it – I guess It’s as simple as the fact the carriage is now mounted on the front of the axis rods rather than behind – so my question becomes – how do I reverse the direction of the x axis motor simply and quickly ??
Turn the connector over on the board. Got to admit I'm a little confused how it could affect the X axis. On mine it was the extruder that ran backwards until I turned the connector round.
I was being dense. I worked it out later last night. On the BQ Hephestos the X Carriage is mounted behind the rods rather than in front. Therefore monting the carriage in front results in reversed x axis. When you go into the firmware there's an 'invert_xaxis' setting - which was set to true - I set it to false and bingo. I haven't actually got to extuding yet lol
