After mounting the printer, I noticed that I made a mistake and inverted the X-axis. So the X-Motor is in the Z-Motor side instead than in the Board side. To change that now is not easy at all. Is there a way to instruct Repetier about it? what would be the easiest soultion?
thanks,
Pau
I think I understand but a picture would help.
You might be able to turn the motor around so it turns the correct way (this is just a guess).
I am not sure how to post an image, I’ll try an HTML link
As you see, the motor that should be at the right is at the left. 
Hi pauceano,
actually, you did not reverse the X axis, but the upper frame that carries the Z arm.
That’s not that much of a problem, rather cosmetic, since you will be looking at your extruder from its back side. Otherwise, all the movement directions should be fine (you have to turn around the whole printer of course to get the left/right/front/back directions the same as indicated in the manual).

It seems there are a few more mistakes then the X-axis.
The carriage assembly is backwards as well .
At this time it might be best to get another ribbon cable and correct all of it.
Changing the firmware would be a nightmare (my opinion) and it may never work correctly
Thanks for the rapid answers.
I guess You are right kuraasu. My mistake was on the X-Axis motor but we can also say that the Z frame is inverted and that simplifies everything, I guess. I will go on and see if I find problems.
“Wrong Way” I was thinking, more than change the firmware, to change repeiter parameters, but kuraasu answer makes sense if I am not loosing anything.
Hi,
Kurassu’s suggestion is the best way to go.
Hi pauceano,
you don’t loose anything. See if your wiring allows for the upper frame to be shifted slightly to the back (“back” being the side where the Y motor is), so that the distance between vertical profiles and the edge of the horizontal frame is again like mentioned in the build manual. Then dismount the extruder (including the alu plate it sits on, so just those two M5 screws) and put it to the other (front) side of the Z arm, so that you see the extruder in front of you when you look at the printer. Cables should be long enough for this, since it’s only a 180° turn. This position of the extruder is beneficial when servicing the printer (filament change etc.) since you have better access to the extruder gears. Same side-switching back to front for the fan, doesn’t matter whether it’s right or left of the extruder, so the cables should be not problem here, too.
That should be it, the coordinate system of the printer is still correct this way. The only difference between your K8200 and all the others is that your Z motor is on the right side and controller board on the left.

Thanks, I will try this.
