Perhaps your new stepper motors are 400 step per revolution and your old ones were 200. In that case you would need to update the steps per mm to be double what it once was.

Good idea, but not sure if that is correct here are the specs on the motors...not much info but you could be on to something.
Product Parameters:
Product name: Bipolar 42 Stepper Motor
Holding torque: 0.46 N•m/ 65 oz-in
Working voltage: DC 9-42V
Rated current: 1.7A
Resistance: 2.1 ohm
Inductance: 4mH
Rotor inertia: 55g•cm2/ 0.30oz-in2
Weight: 0.28kg
Length: 39.5mm/ 1.56 inch
Phrase: 2
Step angle: 1.8°
Motor frame size: 42*42mm -
Nope, they are 200 step motors. Would need to know the number of teeth on your pulleys to know the steps per mm, but if the old motors were also 1.8degree/ 200 step motors it would be the same.
Can you post your homing files as well?
-
I just changed the pulley's to 20 teeth. Here are the home files, thanks again for the help!

How far can you move the X and Y axes, and does Duet Web Control say they have moved those distances or different distances?

@dgdgdgdg said in Wierd issues:
its all relative to where I the printer head is when I hit home. I can move from there but not beyond. I thought when it homes, that it was supposed to go to the endstops? All it does is move a few mm's in each direction and then the homing is complete and then it says head position is at x 0.0 y 0.0 and z 2.5, no matter where the head is actually located...I am sure its something I am doing wrong but its frustrating to say the least lol
-
I suspect your endstop switches are reading in reverse. Test them, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Test_endstop_switches.
-
Okay I fixed that, now when it homes It goes to the end stops, but should the endstops be 0,0,0? or do I need 0,0,0 to be the front left corner (when looking at printer) of my build plate? and if so can I fix that by just measuring how far away the end stop is from the bed?
-
It's easiest if you make (0,0) either the front left corner of the bed or the centre of the bed. You are homing to axis minima, so it is the X and Y values in the M208 S1 command that define what the axis positions are when the endstop switches are triggered.
-
Thank you, I think I have it figured out now, trying out a test print
