2nd Printer, same issue with steppers only going diagonal

dc42

Have you tested both motors individually using G1 S2 moves? It sounds to me that perhaps only one of the X and Y motors is working.

interwebsdesigner

@phaedrux Thanks for the docs, couldn't find them before.

Went through guide and made settings match:

When running X test getting +X +Y Movement
When running Y test getting +X - Y Movement

I have my endstops set up and have verified through properties proper function.

Now when I try to run home all (with es on X-LowEnd and Y-HighEnd) It goes the opposite direction on Y (X goes in the right direction) and the motors are loud. Not sure why, if the above is fine then the homing doesn't work as expected. Bit confused here. I have tried flipping motor connections, turning them around and changing the firmware. Thoughts?

Motor Set Up (If Facing Printer)

Left Motor plugged into X
Right Motor plugged into Y

Homing File:

;homeall.g
;homing using a x-MIN, Y-MAX and z-MIN endstops

G91 ; relative mode
G1 S1 X-240 Y240 F3000 ; course home X or Y
G1 S1 X-240 ; course home X
G1 S1 Y240 ; course home Y
G1 X4 Y-4 F600 ; move away from the endstops
G1 S1 X-10 ; fine home X
G1 S1 Y10 ; fine home Y

What firmware version are you using? Because the expected Y motor behaviour is different between 1.18 and older and 1.19 and newer.

test the Y motor by sending from the console:

G91
G1 S2 Y10 F3000
For firmware 1.19 and later: If the head moves diagonally in the +X and -Y directions, all is well. If it moves in the -X and +Y directions, change the S parameter in the M569 P1 command to S1.

For firmware 1.18 and earlier: If the head moves diagonally in the -X and +Y directions, all is well. If it moves in the +X and -Y directions, change the S parameter in the M569 P1 command to S1.

Also can you verify that you have a right handed coordinate system? with the origin 0,0 in the front left corner? Y moves in + towards the back of the printer towards the endstop?

@interwebsdesigner said in 2nd Printer, same issue with steppers only going diagonal:

M667 S2 Z3 ; set CoreXY mode

Are you sure you have an XZ printer?

Phaedrux

@joergs5 Good catch!

interwebsdesigner

@phaedrux 1.21 is the version. And yes, 0,0 should be at the front left corner. I have my first build which this is identical to also and works appropriately.

interwebsdesigner

@joergs5 good catch indeed. That was it. Silly mistake when going through the docs sent above. Everything is working as expected. Maybe by the 3rd one I won't have trouble Thanks guys.

JoergS5

@interwebsdesigner The mistake was not easy to detect, because the comment said XY.

Nice that so many people use CoreXY.

What was it?

I wasn't able to follow the back and forth.

Thanks.

@fcwilt it was set to core XZ mode instead of core XY

Thank you.

What is a Core XZ printer? I cannot visualize how that would work. Any videos or pictures of such a printer?
