Hello all, i’m a newbie on the 3D printing, i bought a anet A8 on gearbest.

When i’ve wanted do a test with one of the files from the sd card, the printing begins well and after a little moment the head go to thr right with a bad movement and block at the right.

After 5 another test, the result is the same, after my analyse, the home of the X axis is not good.

when i choose home X on the menu the block go to the right.

I change the connector Xaxis (for the sensor) on the mainboard with the Y axis and i test it on the menu the sensor is ok (ON / OFF) works well good.

I change the Y axis connector and i put it on the X axis connector on the mainboard , the result on the LCD is already ON .

I put the X axis on the right place on the mainboard , the Y axis works good (ON / OFF) but not the Xaxis is already ON, and no detect the OFF.

Bref the sensor X works well. and

What do you think?

is a mainboard (arduino) problem or firmware problem?

Thanks a lot for your help.

And what state on X-axis end-stop if you unplug end-stop switch ???

Hello, the state of the X-axis end stop is always On, on the display if i unplug the switch.

And when I actuate the sensor by hand the state is always On, on the display.

it is possible board defect or check visually maybe it “short” on x-axis connector. or try reflash firmware.

I think, i’ll try to reflash the firmware. do you know the method to flash the firmware. or Have you a link, or a vidéo to explain it.

Thanks à lot

Did you get it to work with the new mainboard? because i am having the same problem

After sending a video of my problem, they concluded that it was indeed a mainboard that was to perform, I expect the new mainboard soon.
