The x motor only goes in one way on this newer design…or it’s drive would be enclosed. It’s a probem. My solution A8 upgraded I3 reprap x axis inverted wrong direction. - YouTube

I cut the wires to x motor and soldered them so it had the same effect as plugging the connector in the other way around…which you can’t as it’s keyed. It’s printing a model ok. this is a serious problem.

This is the same printer https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A8-3D-Printer-Prusa-i3-Reprap-MK8-Extruder-MK3-Heatbed-LCD-Controller-UK/142892911697?hash=item214514cc51:g:1RoAAOSwby1bZFQ3 I have it homeing all now by swapping x motot connection. Now to software level the bed and test print.

The X limit definitely fits to the right motor support, there’s 2 holes for the screws and the wires are too short to run to the left side even if there were mounting holes…which there aren’t. I got in touch with the supplier, have to wait.

I have just built an A8 printer and home all sends X axis left, not right to the limit switch. If I press the X axis limit switch , it stops the X motor and the Z and Y axis home ok. The X axis motor works ok but wrong direction.
