      Hi guys I am new to 3d printing and I have purchased a Kossel XL from: http://builda3dprinter.eu/3d-printer-kits/kossel-xl/

      Now I have been using the ramps 1.4 for 3-4 months now and I have had to replace stepper motors, stepper modules and even the ramps board itself a few times now.
      When I ordered the printer I also order the Duetwifi and just never bothered with it.

      With a stepper module blowing and also killing my extruder motor at the same time I decided I would use the DuetWifi and hopefully get more reliability.

      Ok so now on to the issues I'm having. So I managed to get the the printer to home once and started checking the movements making sure everything is working before I start fine tuning and learning how to calibrate it.

      I'm using the web interface as I haven't ordered a DuePanel yet as I'm undecided on the size I want.

      The issue I'm having is that when I try home the printer Z and Y carriage home perfectly but X only moves a little bit and doesn't home. Unless I click the home button until it reaches the endstop.

      The endstops work fine and when manually clicked they are triggered with the m119 command.

      I don't want to use a probe so I have disabled the z probe.

      Here is a copy of my Config File:

      [[language]]

      And a Copy of my HomeDelta.g

      [[language]]
      ; Homing file for RepRapFirmware on Mini Kossel
      G91							; use relative positioning
      ;******* Change F250 in the following line to F2500 when you are finished commissioning
      ;******* Change 320 in the following to a higher value if your Kossel has taller towers
      G1 S1 x700 Y700 Z700 F2500	; move all carriages up 320mm, stopping at the endstops
      G1 S2 X3 Y3 Z3			; move all carriages down 3mm
      G1 S1 X6 Y6 Z6 F2500			; move carriages slowly up 6mm, stopping at the endstops
      G1 Z5 F2000				; down a few mm so that we can centre the head
      G90							; back to absolute positioning
      G1 X0 Y0 F2000				; centre the head and set a reasonable feed rate
      
      

      Any help would be greatly appreciated
      and thanks In advance for any help offered.

        Try this in HomeDelta.g
        G1 S1 x700 Y700 Z700 F2500 - Change the x to X
        G1 S2 X3 Y3 Z3 - Change 3 to -3
