    Need Help: Newbie problem

    Hey guys new guy here. Im having a problem with my newly built folger 2020 prusa i3. My problem consist of the x axis and y axis being able to move one way but when i click to move it the other way it doesnt move at all. Its my first printer ever so i dont know where to even start looking. My ramps are using marlins firmware and im using repetier to manually control it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Well ive figured out a few things. The axis will blow through the endstops. It recognizes that the endstop is engaged but the motor will still try to push through it. And then the endstop is engaged i lose all movement in that axis. So i feel like the problem lies in the endstops somewhere

      That smells like a bad conection...
      check them, or ex change the endstop for other one...

      I also have a prusa I3 hephestos but mine is from bq

      Best Regards

        Well idk what it is. Im at a complete loss now its saying everything is hitting the endstops and will not move at all. I tried inverting everything no dice. Put everything back to normal settings no dice

          The behavior you describe could be caused by the Configuration.h file being set up wrong. There are several configuration switches in that file that affect the behavior of the end stop switches. The configuration switches affect pullups, a master enable, enables for each of the six inputs and polarity of input.
          The other possibility is that the end stops are mis-wired. There are connections available for max and min end stops. You have to make sure that you are connected to the correct input.
          You also do not indicate if your end stops are optical or mechanical. Optical end stop sensors need appropriate connections for power and ground.
          Pronterface can be used to interrogate the endstop status. Type M119 into the command window and the software will tell you the status of the endstops.

            They are a mechanical endstop. They are plugged in with what the instructions stated in pins 1,3 and 5
