Thank you both mdrVB6 and mdrVB6. You are so right. Sometime I seems to leave the brain somewhere. I have created a fan bracket for the PCB on the backside of the printer. When connecting the wires I manged to put one connection is slightly on the "side". Well, thanks to your feedback I checked the connections as soon as I got home from work - and now it works :-) Thank you both

Now I have some problems with erratic heat control on the nozzle. I will make another posting on that topic.

Best regards Stein

+1 but those symptoms would not be caused by a short. Rather, the circuit is open so could be just a loose plug or broken wire.

Sounds like your X endstop is malfunctioning. Take a look at the wires and make sure one or both did not come out or short on something else. If not, then consider replacing the endstop. You can check endstop status is code M119.

Hi folks

I have a Solidoodle v2 printer. it has been working fine for about 2 weeks, but yesterday evening it started to act up.

When starting to print it moved all the way over the right. I have to emergency stop the printer. The "home" button don't work any more. And when hitting the right X-arrow to the right, it will not move. It moved to the X-left, but not right.
When clicking the X-right button to manually move to the right, the log list shows
echo:endstops hit: X:0.05
echo:endstops hit: X:0.06
echo:endstops hit: X:0.06
echo:endstops hit: X:0.08
echo:endstops hit: X:0.01
echo:endstops hit: X:0.02

Etc - one line for each click on the button.

I tried to restart printer and PC, but that did not remove the problem.

What do you suggest that I look into first?

Best regards Stein
