Problem during step 002 - Connecting the printer

K8200 3D Printer K8200 - Assembly and user manual

In step 002 - Connecting the printer, I have reach the point where I have to test the X-axis movements.

Moving left works fine, but moving right gives me this error:

echo:endstops hit: X:0.98

I verified the wiring, they are fine
I unplugged the X -stop micro switch from the board, same (equivalent) error.

Any clues to what the problem might be?

Try this : unplug the microswitch and connect the pins of the connector on the circuit board with a strap. Then try to move the bed to the right.
I’ve had the same issue with the Z-axis and there was a bent connector in the Z-stop plug (no contact).
The movements toward the micro-switch are only allowed if it’s closed (normal state) so if the micro-switch is un plugged or open the movement is impossible.

make sure its the two outside connectors you are using, i nearly made that mistake.

Thanks for the tips.

It turned out that the problem could be fixed by adjusting (slightly bending) the socket pins on the controller board so the connector could get contact.
