Any trouble tips how to wire the end stops? If I hold the switch and press forward on the printrun, is that how to test if it doesn’t advance. should that work?

while in motion, if you manually trip the end stop and the motion stop then everything works fine as expected. if it keeps on moving, then I suggest you quickly pull the plug and inspect the wire connection.

you could do that but that’s a bad way of testing your endstops!

send a M119 command to the printer and it will return the endstop status you can test all the endstops without moving the XY or Z its beter for your belts, rods and fingers :wink:

put your endstops where you want them then configure your home direction in the firmware

for instance my printer homes to X max Y min and Z min the X is the wrong way around but I wanted my wiring to be at the same side as the X stepper motor so I could tidy it up.

I have problem with the thermistor now; printrun says max temp ~454. Not sure what changed. I can’t check the switches before the printer can connect without errors. I’m going to try reflashing the marlin firmware, doesn’t seeem to be changing anything when I’ve tried that before.
