No but you would hope when looking for help and coming across an article on almost your exact situation you would think that they would base it off a standard. The standard is based on physical movement. Most machines are left to rear. the only printer I can think of left to front is possibly a core xy. But if you can provide me other printers that are left to front I would love to check it out. It honestly sounds pretty interesting to look at. I havent seen a machine with an endstop mounted in the front. Also the -14,-14 for pos_end and pos_min was confirmed as correct in the official klipper discord. No one on here was able to answer it yet. And a Klippy log did not need to be provided. Honestly was a fast answer⌠took the guy 30 seconds.
So you have actually no travel distance on Y but a single point only?
The standard is 0,0 at front left.
The endstop location is more a quasi-standard as it is âeasierâ to home towards 0 (left) than to position_max.
But the endstop location does not matter as long as you set its definition properly.
With wrong definitions it might home properly but your prints are mirrored or rotated and at least I like it being printed in the same way as it is displayed in the slicer.
It would be possible to give you a fast answer as well but here we tend to dig to the ground of an issue and clarify things first.
This mostly includes the klippy.log.
But you are not tied to this forum here.
sigh Iâm giving up.
The explanation in this article is generic and does not care if you move the gantry (CoreXY, Ender 5 type, etc) or if you move the bed (bed slingers).
As shown in the article, it always talks about the nozzle position and all information is given for the nozzle / print-head position. Naturally, this will flip for Y if you instead move the bed. But again, this does not change the concept behind it. It will just require that you are mentally able to switch the perspective.
Edit:
I need to think about how to make this more clear in the description
I didnât read this whole thread, but I think the OP is confusing a bed moving back versus a toolhead moving forward. In either case the 0,0 position is the front left corner of the bed, but how the Y axis moves differs between kinematics.
Yes, correct, @jakep_82. I tried to make this more clear, see the screenshot above. What do you think?
