after I installed everything … I turned power on the Anet A8 … went to the return home function and x goes in the opposite direction. What is wrong?

Moin, T-Belt wrong installed or the Stepper Motor wrong cableing (Factory). Check the colors and compare with the other Motors. Artur

Can you post a picture of the back side of your x-carriage?

Hi . If it’s the same thing that I did ? Then you may have put your x belt on upside down . Like I said it’s what I’d done and it went the wrong way . Hope this helps , Andy

From picture 2 i can see that your x belt is “upside down”. It’ s supposed to be fastened to the screws, then goes under the motor pulley, around, back above the pulley, over both screws, over the second pulley, back under the second pulley and finally to the second screw. Edit: the best way to describe it is probably that the lower part of the belt is fixed to the x carriage, while the upper part is not.

Thanks Artur but I guess the assembelt belt is in my case right. Even in the film isn’t it shown better.

The construction its self is now more simple but seems to work. So I will try the upside down methode and install the X-motor on the other side.

It is a chinas quality concern what isnt right. For example my motherbord has a changed power connection. On the drawing is it

but is just the opposite now in reality

for me isn’t this a problem but for some others can this be fatal.

Udo your Belt is wrong. The moving part of the Belt has to toch the TWO upper sliders. Artur
