hello,
I had my printer for a couple of months now, but i only managed to get a few good prints.
my prints won’t stick to the bed and my printer makes a loud noise when i try to home it.

as you can see it looks like it’s trying to move away. and i can’t fix this. Also a lot of the time it won’t print on the right location or jumps a cm up and continue’s printing there…
What can i do to fix this? I really could use some advice.
You may want to check the glide bearings make sure they are not hitting one of the pulleys.
Can you move the print head around by hand easily?
If not look at this page.

yes, i already did that multiple times. It helped but not a lot.
What happens when you move the print head to the front left corner and home it?
Could you post a video of that?
The tabs that are under the glide bearings are they going into the end stops?
I can’t see the other side of the print head but it sort of looks like they are both hitting the pulleys stopping them before the end stops.
i’m sorry i don’t understand. (english is not my native languege)
I included some pictures so maybe that helps.

It’s hard to tell but it looks like you may have the Y end stop cable plugged into the X end stop and the X end stop cable plugged into the Y end stop.
You should check the wiring.
i switched them and exactly the same thing happens…
Did you check the labels (like I said I couldn’t really see if it was right)
X is on the back Y is on the side.
Could you home it again and take a picture from the side so you can see the end stop and the pulleys?
okay the labels were correct the first time, I switched them back after i took these pics. now i could see that on the x-axis the tob wont go under the glide bearing
this is the x-axis

but still the same problem
You might try swapping one of them with the Z end stop to see if that helps.
Are the tabs going into the end stop when you home it?
Did you put the black spacers on the back hole of the end stop before you mounted it?
which one should i swap with the Z-end? And yes they are both going in.
And on your last question i don’t know. I didn’t build it myself, my dad did for my birthday.
I would try the Y first.
Swap the end stop not just the cable.
Look in this chapter picture 3 you will see what I am talking about.

oh okay, to see if the end stop is broken right?
