Railcore Build Homing In The Incorrect Direction
-
im still pretty new to this and the directions are kind of confusing to know what movement is actually - and + ,
this is the railcore starting moves link , when i run these moves the machine moves into the correct positions

OK, based on the way you're currently set up, I have marked up the image above, to show which way everything is going.
I think the first step is to determine what you want to call the front of the machine. typically, the X axis goes left to right and the y axis goes forwards and backwards. You also need to determine which axis is X and which is Y.Does that make sense?

@jay_s_uk yeah i get that part
-
@tycarr so your M671 locations are in the wrong place.
So when jogging your motors, do they move in the directions as indicated in my image above?
-
@tycarr What board are you running on your RailCore? And what firmware?
There is a baseline for the RailCore on the railcore webpage. I can give you my config, but you need to running RRF3.3.0 I am also running a Duet3 Mini 5+ and a 1LC toolboard@jay_s_uk This printer is confusing, took me a while to get my head round it!
Where the markup in the picture is +Y and -Y in yellow, that is actually the X axis
So X0Y0 is bottom left of the picture. Y280 is at the top of the picture.
It is all relevant to the hole in the front panel.P.

I also thought that might be the case but the OP marked up the X endstop as being on the carriage.
But I definitely agree with you, very confusing -
@Tycarr If you need some help with the RailCore, let me know.
Just incase you did not know, there is a RailCore group on Discord.
If you have a discord username, let me have it and I will invite you, unless you have already found it!P.

@jay_s_uk You have to ignore where the hotend fan is pointing, as it points left, looking at the front of the printer.
-
@paulhew I'm not sure what the fan has to do with it
-
@jay_s_uk
Thats the front of the printer.A majority of printers you would see the hotend fan facing you, like the Ender3, Vorons etc.
Thats how I and some people get lost.Side View
