      My printer has the X axis limit switch to the left hand side of the printer. But since switching over to the Duet, my printer wants to home to the right. How can I change the direction of the motor when homing?

        There are 3 parts to this. The direction of motor rotation, the endstop position definition, and the movement direction in the homing macros.

        -x should move left, +x should move right
        -y should move to the front, +y should move to the back

        M569 is where the rotation direction is set

        M574 defines where the endstops are located. high end of travel (positive move to reach) or low end of travel (negative move to reach)

        The G1 H moves in the homing macros should move towards the endstop either positive or negative.

        If you require more guidance, show us your files and your printer.
