First Print with Pursa i3v 12"

So I finished Building my MakerFarm 12" pursa i3v.
I printed the test cube and this how it came out. when I selected the file to print.
The X axis moves all the way to the left and doesn't stop, so it hits the left side of the X rail... (where the x-axis stepper motor is located).

Here's some pics of the print in proccess and the final print.

Hey dasaint80, congrats on your build and welcome to the forum!

I had the same issue with my 8 inch i3v, Colin recommended unplugging the x stepper motor cable, rotating it 180 degrees and plugging it back in which fixed the issue for me. You might want to double check with Colin about this, I just want to make sure that his fix would also be applicable with the electronics in your printer model.

I got my 12" up and running this weekend. I had the same issue and had to rotate the x axis. Weird.

Your print looks horrible though. :( I attached my first prints.

It looks like your z axis (up/down) wasn't working well. Is it like this on every run?

I didn't look at your photos until now. My thought is that your issue could be that the x axis is riding on top of the nuts that are on the z threaded rods instead of being seated in their slots. If you had your hotend crash on the bed while getting things set up the slots are designed to allow the x axis to go rise up freely instead of continuing to put stress on the bed. Take a look at the nuts on your threaded rods below the x axis to see if that's the issue.

Mine should ship in a couple days or so. ;)
