Hi Mark, I think that there are 2 things that I noticed that may be of some relevance to your printer. FIrstly your G29 command seems to operate as a mirror image to mine. I suspect that your motors may be inverted in the wiring, secondly you need to rotate your spider anti-clockwise 33 degrees (⅓ turn) because the probe is still on the left hand side of the printer when looking at it from the front of the printer (the LCD display is the front).

So quickly unscrew the 6 silver round head screws with pad (Item 16 in your kit), rotate your spider 33 degrees anti-clockwise and fix it in place again with the screws. The lay you machine on it's side and check that your cabling is in as per the diagram provided by Geeetech in their assembly guide (provided below).

Does it do the same thing with a smaller printer radius?

REPOST as the images were lost somewhere.

As usual I am having problems uploading the second image file so just check the wiring diagram in the assembly guide.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the reply. I have replied to your PM directly. The photo I attached to my earlier post did not come through for some reason. As I said in my earlier post, the video was taken before I switched around the spider. My probe is definitiely located on the right hand side (ignore its placement in the video).
