SORRY !!!! , look like I was wrong I did know about corexy , both motors ?
I'm 100% sure about the homing file needing changing , and know that the motor direction need changing , but I'm lost how to change it on a corexy.
-
You're on the right track. On a cartesian printer it's easy because it's one motor and direction per axis. With corexy there is motor direction of rotation and also which motor is connected to which driver that also matters.
The movement test in the link isolates each motor so you can see which direction it's going by itself and then from the results it tells you what to change.
-
So from your link is way to fix is ?
If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, then either turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections, or use M584 in config.g to swap the X and Y motor drivers over.
My head hurts !!! Brain Overload !!!!
-
@peter247 brain overload x2
-
M569 P0 S0 ; X motor runs forwards
M569 P1 S0 ; Y motor runs forwardsSet that first.
Test for the correct X motor movement by sending these commands from the console:
G91
G1 S2 X10 F3000If 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 to S1 in the M569 P0 command. If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, then either turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections, or use M584 in config.g to swap the X and Y motor drivers over.
When you have the X motor moving correctly, test the Y motor by sending from the console:
G91
G1 S2 Y10 F3000If 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.
Y+ meaning to the back
-
You do need to change the Y homing files , but I think you may have to play to get the direction correct.
Don't forget to invert all the moves or the G1 Y5 F800 will push it into the end stop.
-
The homing direction for Y should be positive direction to the endstop at the rear.

M569 P0 S0 ; X motor runs forwards
M569 P1 S0 ; Y motor runs forwardsim not using the built in drivers , all are external
my config is currently this for x and y:
M569 P5 S1 T5 R1 ; physical drive x goes forwards
M569 P6 S1 T5 R1 ; physical drive y goes forwards -

i have set to this

G91
G1 S2 X10 F3000they both move towards the back left corner (where the endstops are )
so x moves in a negative and y in a positive -

If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, then either turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections, or use M584 in config.g to swap the X and Y motor drivers over.
So swap your X and Y motor plugs.

changed drives to :
M584 X6 Y5 Z7:8 E3 ; set drive mappingnow with
G91
G1 S2 X10 F3000x and y move to the negative. so heading x to 0 and y to 0
which is the front left side of the printer. -
@tracar said in hbot homes correctly but prints mirrored ,:
x and y move to the negative.
If it moves in the -X and -Y directions, change the S parameter to S1 in the M569 P0 command. Or in your case, flip the direction on your external stepper for the P0 driver, labeled as X.
Actually that might be wrong because you've now remapped which driver X is assigned to. You're now using driver 6? Flip that one.

If the head moves diagonally in the +X and +Y directions, all is well.
Move on to the next direction move test.
When you have the X motor moving correctly, test the Y motor by sending from the console:
G91
G1 S2 Y10 F3000If 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.
Y+ meaning to the back
-
x pos
y neg
-
Alright, so now when you jog the print head normally, does +x go to the right and Y+ to the back?
Have you changed your homing files to move to Y positive?
-
jogging is correct
y homing needs to be reversed
-
There is also some positive move need to go minus , eg the back off the end stop move , or they will push into the back stop instead of backing off.
So like I said don't change invert all y moves. -
homeall works
homex ,and homey work
and......x y jog work in the right way
