MakerFarm 8" i3v Prusa build by Printbus

[usarmyaircav]

So I didn't buy enough wire to power everything up, but I had enough for the 11v and the 5v, and will need to get more for the heatbed. I hooked up my laptop and fired up pronterface and it seems like everything is working except the z access. Facing the printer the left side moves, but the right doesn't want to do anything. it looks to be trying but I am thinking something is binding so will look at that tonight.

In Pronterface if I click on the right side of the X axis, it should go right correct? If so I have the plug reversed.

The other question I have is that I noticed that I mounted the fan for the hexagon, so that it is pulling air, rather than pushing. Will that be ok, or do I need to flip it?

So encouraged to actually get this far!!!!! My time has been really limited to work on this so happy to finally get some movement!

Mine has also done this for the entire time I've owned the printer and I have always had to press the opposite button to get it to go the right way. The important thing is to make sure that the X axis moves from right to left (towards the x endstop) when you press the home button in pronterface.

I'm guessing there might be a way to flip the X axis button direction in the pronterface options but I haven't tried this personally.

Mine pushes air but I believe I have heard other folks on here say they flipped theirs and had it working.
