Hey folks just got my Rostock Max pretty much finished and wired.

Using Repetier Host, using the M119 command I get
x_max:L y_max:H z_max:L

When I use the G28 command, the Y motor only rises about an inch then stops
Any idea what is wrong? I can't get by this.

Should I rewire the Y Motor? is something stuck?

I also got a non working Limit Switch in the kit which isn't helping but it's on my Z motor.

This is my 1st 3D printer so I'm not familiar with what to make of this
thank you in advance

Not sure if this helps, but one troubleshooting step might be to switch where X and Y motors attach to the Rambo ... just to see if the motor behaves any differently. My guess is that it will not. Checking the connections is worth a try. A few other RostockMax users have soldered all the motor connections to ensure reliability.

Also maybe checking the behavior of the endstop. If you have a multimeter, you can check to see if it's open and closed as desired. And I wonder whether a non-functioning Z endstop would interfere with the Y motor.

I too had a bad endstop switch, although my kids were "examining" it and may have broken it before I tried to install it. I bought a similar one at a local electronics shop and it's been working fine.

Thank you!

I got the motors working by rewiring the one and soldering ( I soldered everything ) and got: x_max:L y_max:L z_max:L

I found I had 2 limit switch wires connected in the wrong ports.
I didn't see any X Y Z on the board but I put a flashlight to it and matched the wires up and it works! Except for the 1 switch.....hopefully my electronics store has them.

thanks
